When I first read this site last year Simple Savings – $21 Challenge I thought there was no way a city person could meet this challenge of spending only $21 for food for the week as we don’t have as much access to free food. I’ve realized over the last few months though that it’s more about slowly building your cupboards/freezer up until one week you find that you actually don’t need to shop that much. We got it down to $30 a few weeks ago (not counting cat food!) and cleared almost the whole freezer out which was great as it needed a good clean out. Hubby moaned a little but I pointed out to him that we ate pretty much the same as we did most weeks – it was mostly in his brain that we needed to go out and BUY.
You can pay to access this site, they are having a sale at the moment! I just read Penny’s blog for the weeks where there is free access or the monthly newsletters. I can’t say I have got my spending down to $21 yet!
