November Personal Challenge Update

I just updated my sidebar on my personal challenge. My challenge to myself this month was to feed our family on $250.

What does "our family" consist of?
- 2 adults
- 1 toddler
- 1 cat
- 1 dog

And "feed our family" is slightly incorrect. Because not only is food in the $250 but so is diapers, paper products, health & hygiene products too.

Is it possible for a family of 3 to make it on $25o for groceries? Well, lets see how I'm doing:

$250 budgeted to spend on groceries

Progress:
-20.21 at Aldi
-63.76 at Winn Dixie
+17.78 in rebate checks!
-30.72 at CVS
-11.64 at Wal-Greens
-12.75 at Target
+ 3.49 rebate check!
-15.72 at CVS

= $116.47 left to spend!!!

We are halfway through the month and I still have almost half my budget left to spend.

I think I'm doing pretty good. How about you?
