I did pretty good with my
Pantry Challenge. I wanted to spend only $200.00 this month for groceries. I think I could have done it, but the sales at Price Chopper were too good last week for me to responsibly pass up. It was the toilet paper. The cheap toilet paper sucked me in. Believe me, we use a lot of it around here. I just couldn't pass it up! Or the free yogurt or the free windex or the 8 free packages of napkins or the .50 boxes of granola bars or the turkey breasts for.99/lb...you get the idea.
Here is how I did this month....I spent a total of $312.83. I saved $358.38, which comes out to be a 41.82% savings. Not bad, considering most of my shopping this month was done at Aldi, where I didn't use any coupons. Most of my shopping was for produce and dairy. Except my Price Chopper trip, where I spent $145.04 and saved $208.87. Bottom line, I put $487.17 from our normal grocery budget away in a safe place. Hawaii, anyone?

When are you going? :)
ReplyDeleteMichele, thanks for finding me! I am doing okay. The doctor in Boston doesn't think it is cancer, but I spent over a week believing the news that it was. That was tough.
ReplyDeleteWe're trying to swing a trip to Hawaii ourselves this spring - it's our 25th anniversary in April, and Justin is there, but will be deployed later that month overseas. We'd love to go see him (and Hawaii) before he leaves.
