Ultimate Grocery Budget Challenge Day Four

Go HERE to sign up for the Ultimate Grocery Budget Challenge ~ I KNOW this will transform your family’s finances!

I soooo hope you’ve been joining us for the Ultimate Grocery Budget Challenge!

It’s day 4, and today we talked about knowing what a good price really is ($1.99/lb for boneless skinless chicken breast or less, right?) and how you can use the cool formula from the Ultimate Grocery Budget Challenge Day 3 sheet to calculate what your family really should be spending.

SO HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU REALLY SPEND AT THE GROCERY STORE?

To find a basic starting point, go HERE and print the Day 3 Challenge Workshee to do the math. I think the totals there are a little high for our family, but we’ve been living frugally for 22 years! 🙂

The biggest thing I want you to remember this week?

Every single time you step foot in the grocery store you’re deciding if you want to pay FULL price, or snag a deal.

You’re deciding if you want to watch for a great price on chicken, or just pay whatever.

With just a little planning and knowledge, you can totally transform your family’s finances ~ it makes a huge difference and has literally saved us tens of thousands of dollars the last 22 years!

Wanna know why I love that?

Because most of the time I love to be frugal.

But sometimes I really just want to splurge.

Last night I used a little of the money that I normally save on my grocery budget to buy this oh-so-splurgey-Yeti.

(So far I haven’t found a deal on this one.)

(Don’t worry.)

(I’m watching.)

I used it today and feel like the fanciest girl on the planet.

I love it.

And if I’m choosing between paying for that or paying full price for Uncrustables and someone else to chop up my watermelon for me, I’ll pick the fanciest-girl-on-the-planet-mug every day of the week. 🙂
