Welcome to the year 2010....BUDGET CHALLENGE!

Saturday, January 2, 2010




Hi everyone! I have made a New Year's challenge to stick to a grocery budget for the year of $800.00, this will include groceries, animal foods, cleaning products, beauty/bath products and health products...this is for a family of 2 with 3 large dogs, 2 cats and 4 chickens..and occasionally a third person!!!!


I challenge you to pick a budget amount and try to stick to it and follow along with me!


With a budget of $800.00 per year, this averages out to approximately $1.10 per person/per day, but don't forget all the animals...they are included in the budget, but didn't get figured into the per person/per day amount. The budget amount averages out to $66.67 per month for all grocery, animal products, cleaning products and toiletries. However, there may be one month that I spend $100 or $200 and other months that I spend $20...It will all depend on how the sales go...what a challenge, how fun and interesting! Wish me luck....and I hope others take part in the challenge no matter what your budget amount may be!!

Went and stocked up on Basha's boneless skinless chicken breast today, along with a few other items needed. Cheapest price I've seen in a long time at $1.49 LB. for chicken. But I should have enough chicken for quite a few months, I may go back and get more before the sale ends, it's too good of a price to pass up!

Spent $48.78 OOP
Remaining budget: $751.22
