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. We don’t want to make our families miserable with bland meals, boring snacks, and not enough food in the house, but we must stay on budget. March’s Assignments.

Personally, if I don’t make a shopping list and plan my meals, my grocery budget is toast. There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. Also, I plan for everything–breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners.

Sort food items by category, such as baking items, breakfast, canned goods, coffee/tea, condiments, pasta/rice, snacks, etc. A clean and organized pantry will make menu planning easier for me. Remove everything from the cupboards and clean the shelves with a damp cloth and dry. Place your foods near the spot where they are used.

While we love everything about a traditional holiday meal, we cook big family meals all year long, so the idea of doing appetizers just sounded fun!
