End of the month grocery challenge


It is the last two weeks of December and after all the holiday shopping, meal stockpiling for before the baby comes, and getting the last of the needed baby items in place we are in a self imposed budget lock down.

We have $250 to spend on food for 7 people for the next 19 days. Think we can do it? Of course we can! The main principle of our meal planning is to use items we have on hand to plan our meals, with only minimal additional items added in as needed. Then at the end of the month I am able to grab some deals to stock back up with any money leftover.

Sooo...... here we go!
