$50 for 14 Days Grocery Challenge

We were looking at our grocery stockpile this week and realized we had all of the shelves pretty full and we had plenty of fruit and veggies, too. So, we’re going to try a $50 for 14 day grocery challenge. Will we be able to do it? I don’t know, but it will be fun to try. We’re planning to add the extra cash to our savings account for a rainy day.

Yesterday, I spent no money on groceries. Today, I bought a case of one of my favorite teas from Amazon for the stockpile. It was $16, but will last about 6 months. I wasn’t sure if I should count the whole case of tea in the $50 challenge, but someone gave me a ton of fruit and bread today, so I think it will even out.

So, that brings my total grocery challenge money until the end of November to $34. Want to play along?

(Oh, if you are interested in the tea deal, I love Twinings British Blend tea and it is on sale for $22.89 for a six pack. Until Nov 30th, you can use the code TETTEA44 to get another 25% off. Add something small to get the total from $22.89 to $25 and get free shipping, too. I added a baby bib. Then, I used a $5 Swagbucks gift card I earned to get the total to $16. You may be able to do even better because there is a 15% off when you do subscribe and save deal, but I didn’t know if you could enter the 25% off code before it checks you out and I’d rather save 25% if I couldn’t combine the two.)

Save more than $3,000 a year on your grocery bill & beat the grocer at pricing games
