2009 All You Grocery Challenge + a Giveaway! - CLOSED

If you could benefit from slashing your grocery budget but lack the motivation, here is some incentive for you! The 2009 All You Grocery Challenge encourages you to spend no more than $25 per family member, per week on groceries over a 4 week period. For a family of 4 that is $100 per week.

If you decide to take this challenge, you could win a $1000 grocery card, a one year supply of Knorr side dishes, plus a feature in All You magazine! Even better? The winner will appear on the CBS Early Show in December!

Here are the details:

* This contest runs July 13th-August 17th
* You must sign up by July 12th to participate
* You must spend no more than $25 per person, per week on groceries
* You will receive weekly emails with tips, recipes and ideas to help you save
* You can log your spending using the All You Spending Log (be sure to hang on to your receipts!)
* Household and toiletry items do not count in your grocery spending total
* Eating out/takeout *does* count toward your grocery spending total
* Growing your own food, bartering or using stockpiled food is encouraged (and does not count toward your total)
* You can post your money saving tips on the All You Grocery Challenge Blog and help others who are trying to save!

Get the full scoop and sign up to participate here. I would love to see one of my readers win!

Are you excited yet? I've got more!

Hi, enter me in your contest please. I also signed up for the challenge. I was already challenging myself to spend only 475 a week for my family of 6, which is half what they are allowing. Should be fun.

Great Magazine. The only problem All you would prefer you to buy this at Wal-mart than to get this in the mail as they make mor emoney. Thaty why they have better coupons in the store one.

I love your blog. Best one I have found online. You always keep it up to date.

Marcy said...

Jeremy - good news! Starting with this month's issue, the subscription copies of All You have the same coupons in them as the newsstand copies. :-)
