Well, today was Day 1 of the All You Grocery Challenge. Is anyone else participating? I didn't think I'd be spending anything this quickly, but I had to make a quick run by Walmart to return a few things today.
While I was there I picked up a HUGE bottle of apple juice and some canned pineapple for tonight's dinner (HERE). Somehow a 20 oz. Diet Mt. Dew and a cookie made their way into my cart. Not sure how that happened -- really -- but by the time I realized it, I had already paid for them.
That's going to be one of the big budget-breakers for me if I'm not careful. When I'm at work, I'm a Diet Mt. Dew junkie. Maybe this will be a good excuse to kick that habit! Unfortunately, the cap on today's bottle had a buy 1 - get 1 free message under it!
This week's grocery spending so far: $4.95

I'm participating !
My big worry is my husband , he is a paramedic and eats on the run alot ( we should own 7-11 by now) . He gets free stuff about 60% of the time ( 100% of the time if he gets it from the hospital ready room but he gets sick of the free food there) . He is on a strict 3.00 a day budget . He did great yesterday with a 1.75 Slurpee .
I have some links on my site for tools to help you in the Grocery Challenge http://poor-mom.blogspot.com
Good Luck !
