If I were in your shoes, I would focus more on the process and on good habits , rather than on the ultimate goal of being free of credit card debt. Few of us humans are motivated by shame, and that includes shame we heap on ourselves. If you do that, you might find that you have more little sparks of motivation than you think you do!

My current main food goals: eat nutritious food eat at home the vast majority of the time avoid food waste If I spend $110/week for Zoe and me, that’s about $8/day/person, and considering that includes cleaning products/toiletries plus food, I feel pretty good about that. Could I get it lower?

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. We don’t want to make our families miserable with bland meals, boring snacks, and not enough food in the house. Part of my motivation was that I’m hosting this challenge.
