All You Grocery Challenge!
I have decided to take the All You Grocery Challenge. For those of you not familiar with the magazine, All You is a magazine all about coupons and saving money. It’s a little on the pricey side (I know, odd), but I was able to get a year long subscription for $10 (it is normally $25+) and it has been well worth it so far.
The contest starts on July 13 and runs for four weeks. So what’s the challenge? Spend only $25 per member of your household on groceries every week. I am not sure if they would count my 16 month old as a full person so I am challenging myself to spend only $65 every week on food for 4 consecutive weeks. The winner of the contest receives a $1000 grocery gift card and a selection of Knorr side dishes (the contest is sponsered by Knorr), but I think that the challenge will be a chance for me to really pay attention to what we buy and eat. It will also force me to explore other options for our food. I hardly ever go to Chuppa’s Marketplace or West Side Market because it’s a hassle, but their prices can be much lower for a higher quality of food.
Anyone care to join me in the challenge?
I’m going to have to mention this to my fiance (he does the shopping) I think it sounds like something worth trying! Good luck with your shopping!
