All You Grocery Challenge 2011!

Remember when I was bragging about the All You Magazine? Here is another fun aspect of this magazine, their annual grocery challenge! Now officially, the registration is over for the year, because the contest starts today, but I encourage you to play along with me and practice for next year! The rules are simple: Spend $25 per person in your household for a week's worth of groceries - all three meals. Use what you already have, and be creative. The challenge lasts 4 weeks. Our home includes 3 adults, so my budget should be $75 a week (yeah, I can stay under that, LOL). The $ limit only includes food, not toiletries and pet supplies, etc. So, lets see what sort of menu plan we can put together over the next week, and how close to our limit we can come! The more creative we are, the easier it will be to shop like this on a weekly basis! :)

Oooh! and lets not forget to share those yummy menu plans, and recipes! Don't forget to hit up your local Farmer's markets too, they should start rolling out the yummy veg very shortly!

Good luck! :)
