Day 124

My June Grocery Challenge

Spend only $100??

Good News.....we were very creative and ate every piece of food we had. Our pantry and fridge were so empty that my boys really thought they hit the jackpot when they found Slim-Fast drinks. Seriously that is how empty the kitchen pantry was!

Bad news.....I blew it last week and went over my goal of only spending $100 for the month of June. My total will be closer to $200 but still not bad. My budget is $400 which means that the remaining $200 will be used to start replinishing our 6 monthsh living expense fund that we got into after my husband was laid off. He is back to work and we are working really hard to replinsh the 6 months living account back up to $20,000.

and if you live in Wichita don't forget today is the first day of the Just Between Friends Sale.

Day 98

Alright it's a new month.....

As you know we already live on a budget but for the month of June my challenge for myself and my family is to only spend $100 on groceries and health and beauty. Can it be done?? My usual budget for the month is $400.

It's time to get creative and put the extra $300 in savings.

Since my hubby is back to work after being laid off we are going to be gazelle intense to build back up our 6 months of living expenses savings account.

I will keep you posted on how we spend the $100.00

Anyone up for the $100 challenge????

Come on.... you can do it :)
