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! I started it mainly as a passion project, and to help hold myself accountable about food waste. JEG I really did not!

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?

Part of my motivation was that I’m hosting this challenge. By keeping our kitchens organized, menu planning will be much easier, we’ll reduce our food waste, and we’ll be less likely to buy duplicates. My success : My January grocery budget was $450. Thankfully we came in right on budget for the month.
