The Goal of the Grocery Budget Challenge is to be creative with our meal planning and grocery shopping so that we do not over-spend.

Happy Earth Day 2014! My first experience with Earth Day was back in the late 80’s when my college Biology class took a trip to downtown Pittsburgh for the city’s Earth Day celebration. The event was less than impressive to today’s standards, but very much ahead of its time. Honestly, I signed up for the […]

I came across these photos of a Tissue Paper Flower craft that I did with my girls years ago when my girls were 4 & 2. I might have shed a tear or two when I came across the pictures, for not only forgetting about a content idea, but also how fast kids grow up. […]

Did you bake a ham for Easter dinner? My mother typically makes the ham and I contribute a side dish or dessert, but I always take advantage of the low holiday prices (sometimes free) and buy a ham for my family. It’s a great time of year to stock up. If you love whole boneless […]

In an effort over the years to save money at the grocery store and reduce our waste, we’ve found reusable alternatives to many disposable products, such as paper towels, paper napkins, storage containers, and bags.

I made Stromboli for the first time recently and honestly I don’t know why it took me so long. My family loves Stromboli and order it occasionally at our favorite local sub shop, but I never considered making it at home. I thought it would be a lot of work, but in fact, it is […]

I have been diligently challenging myself to spend less at the grocery store this year. I’m trying to find that balance of staying within a set budget while still eating well.

Meat tends to be one of the priciest items on my grocery list and I’ve found a way to control the costs: I buy marked down meat. Yep, I’ve been buying it for well over 10 years and I’ve never had a problem. I discovered this money-saving tip years ago when I stumbled onto a […]
