Is it possible for a family of five to spend less than 1/2 of what we previously spent on all food/groceries, household needs and health and beauty items? YES! Come with us & take the Frugal Family Challenge!!! By shopping sales, using coupons, rebates and free gifts, we will attempt to drop our grocery bill to an all time low! Follow our family as we attempt to live on a budget 365 days a year!! YOU can do it too!

Happy New Year 2009!!
Happy New Year friends!!! Join me in 2009 as I attempt to spend only $1200 for an entire year of groceries, health and beauty products and household needs! I will use sales, coupons, rebates, gifts, good deals all around and maybe a little bartering to fullfill this goal! We are a family of 5, my husband and I and our 3 girls. We have a dog, a cat and 2 rabbits also! (but won't be including pet food in the budget at this time). Starting January 1st our budget begins! Come join me on this journey and cheer me on to success! Hopefully it will be a very fun, but FRUGAL 2009!
Warmly,
Tracey C

What a great idea! I follow Jane4Girls and her $800 budget. She's amazing... I look forward to seeing how you do.
ReplyDeleteVery cool challenge! Can't wait to see you do it :) I'd hop on Twitter if you're looking for some frugal friends to connect with and help along the way :)
