Grocery Shopping Challenge

The Grocery Shopping Challenge began on November 21st.  It was meant to be a month-long challenge, but it’s too successful to stop now.

How does the Grocery Shopping Challenge work?  Allow me to enlighten you…

1. Trader Joe’s is a menace to my wallet.
2. My grocery budget used to be $20/week, now due to fact #1, it is going to be $30 (I know, I’m living on the edge!).
3. There’s really no way that I can eat more food than that and continue to lose weight.  There’s no point in buying food to throw it away.
4. If I can, I try to leave a little wiggle room in the budget for nights that I cook dinner with Marcus.  Usually I already have planned what we’re eating/what I’m bringing over as my contribution, but here and there we freestyle.

That being said, I figure if I’m accountable to you all about my weight loss, I can be accountable to you about my grocery budget as well.  So each week, I’ll give you another post detailing my adventures, the cost, the highs + the lows.
