JANUARY 5, 2024

What I Spent I know sometimes at the start of a new year, people make grocery-bill-reduction goals, but honestly, I’m not even gonna stress over that.

The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we aren’t over-spending. Lately when I see my bill at the check out, I’m shocked at how few groceries are actually going home with me. How did you do in January?

SEPTEMBER 25, 2012

For several years now I've been motivated to action when reading her classic, tried-and-true frugal tricks and tips as she menu plans, money manages and enjoys the luxuries of a simple life with her family. Reduced our Netflix bill to watch online only. It should be ready to drink in a few weeks.
