All You Grocery Challenge Update

July 13, 2009

Well, today was Day 1 of the All You Grocery Challenge. Is anyone else participating? I didn’t think I’d be spending anything this quickly, but I had to make a quick run by Walmart to return a few things today.

While I was there I picked up a HUGE bottle of apple juice and some canned pineapple for tonight’s dinner (HERE). Somehow a 20 oz. Diet Mt. Dew and a cookie made their way into my cart. Not sure how that happened — really — but by the time I realized it, I had already paid for them.

That’s going to be one of the big budget-breakers for me if I’m not careful. When I’m at work, I’m a Diet Mt. Dew junkie. Maybe this will be a good excuse to kick that habit! Unfortunately, the cap on today’s bottle had a buy 1 – get 1 free message under it!

This week’s grocery spending so far: $4.95
