Shopping Superstars

In the past week I have discovered a blog that has just captivated me.  It’s GreenAndCrunchy.org, and Sheri does an all Vegan and Organic diet for her entire family.  She makes incredible smoothies, and has awesome raw meals (even for her young kids).  She buys all of her food in bulk, so that she saves [...]

I’m doing something a little different this year.  Last year I kept track of how much total I spent and saved on our grocery budget.  Amazingly we ate healthy meals for under $2,000 for the year.  That was for a family of four!  However, I won’t be keeping track of everything this year.  It takes [...]

I’m sure some of you are anxiously waiting for those final spending and savings totals for 2009.  If you are just now joining me, one of the things I did in 2009 was track all of my grocery spending and savings.  This included all food, diapers and toiletry items. It also included a mostly healthy [...]
