Despite losing all of our freezer and fridge food in a 4 day power outage, it looks like we might actually meet the grocery challenge this month.
My goal was to reduce my grocery bill by 25 percent, to $715.47 a month. Which is about $238.53 less a month than we had spent on groceries and eating out each month in the past 4 months.
Yes, I know that's a huge food bill for two people and a 5 month old.
From August 20 to Sept. 20 is the first month of the challenge. So far we have spent $622.19 on food. That leaves us $93.28 left until Saturday.
We just might make it!
The long-term goal is to reduce the bill by 50 percent, to about $500 or less a month.
Just might win the grocery challenge!
