The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we do not over-spend. Lately when I see my bill at the check out, I’m shocked at how few groceries are actually going home with me. Also my debit card got caught up in the Target breach of security.
