I am participating in a $20 a week challenge with friends. So, I decided I would post my progress here too. I started yesterday (Monday). I am only allowed to spend $20 per week on groceries. This DOES include all health & beauty supplies, paper products (toilet paper, paper towels etc), but does not include diapers/pullups. I was trying to figure out the easiest way to factor in the register rewards, ECB's and gift cards. So, I decided I will ONLY count the actual money I PAY Out of pocket! Thats it! So, if I have an ECB, or a RR, that will not count toward the $20, since I probably already paid some $ to receive the ecb/rr. I have a nice stockpile already that should really help meeting my $20 per week goal! I am gathering my receipts from yesterday and will post that soon.
**IF ANY OTHER BLOGGERS WANT TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE EMAIL ME at couponersunited @ gmail.com and if I get a good response I will set up a Mr. Linky**
I can't wait to see this! Are you going to post full reports! This is awesome...I'm still only running at 50% in the groceries...so I'm going to sit out this time! lol
ReplyDeleteIm going to try! Will start tonight. (including monday though) Remember though, I have quite a stockpile already!
ReplyDeleteI think I would LOVE to do this...but I'm afraid I would deplete my stockpile. How long do you want to do this for. Forever, 1 month, 2 months. I think I could handle this for a few months, but not forever!! Deb @ Frugal Living And Having Fun!
