This year we decided it’s time to not only challenge ourselves, but to challenge you too!
It’s never to late to make a budget. So join us! Like Dave Ramsey says, “If you don’t tell your money where to go, it will leave.”
How much will you spend?
Don’t worry about how much your neighbor spends. Figure out how much or little you can spend on your groceries for your family. Take a little inspiration from Mavis’ $100 a month goal. Some of us other fabs are taking some inspiration from Mavis and although we do not plan to report to you every week what we are buying we will report how much we spend.
This is not a competition…
We aren’t competing against each other, nor are we asking our readers to compete. The only person you’ll be competing against is yourself! If you are participating in the challange you are winning because you are now thinking twice about buying things you do not need.
Decide what to include in your grocery budget…
What do you think of when you hear “grocery budget”? Just the food you buy at the store? Anything you buy at the store? Anything you consume? You decide. See what Mavis is counting in her grocery budget.
Get your budget number ready!
You can track it here on Fabulessly Frugal and each week that you do, you we will be entered to win random giveaways like Amazon, Albertsons, and Target gift cards to help you stretch your budget a little farther!
It is important to set a goal that works for you…
Consider your previous months spending, family size, and overall budget to come up with a number that works for you. Push yourself to improve on the spending you have been doing in the past. Take a look at what others are doing to get ideas, but do not compare yourself to others!
Join our challenge!
Just go here to view the most recent post, so you can enter in your goal, spending, and savings. Be sure to come back every Monday at 5:30 pm MST to see who was randomly chosen in last weeks challenge too!
