Welcome to my Challange
After reading some wonderful Blogs about saving money (thanks Jane4girls and Precious) I thought it would be fun, interesting to track my savings/spending. I am starting in April and I am going to see how far 1 paycheck would go. DH gets paid biweekly so I took that number. (1,680.00) This is a family of 2 adults an 11yr old, 9 yr old, 5 yr. old and 2 yr. old. We have 1 cat and 4 frogs.
GROCERY SPENDING 1,680.00 = 1 PAYCHECK
What counts: all grocery, health and beaury, pet supplies
Add to spending limit: trading coupons, selling stockpile, rebate checks
