The Set-up: All-You Grocery Challenge

From July 13 through August 17, All-You is running a challenge to stick to a $25 per person per week budget for food- including meals out and groceries. For those of you that don't know- I stick to a strict budget of $40 cash for groceries and household items like cleaning supplies, personal care items, paper products, and diapers (for 2 kids!!!).

So, the "challenge" for me is to make our meals healthier- since 25% of the judging is based on healthfulness, I will be paying particularly close attention to the health aspects of what we eat. Creativity and ingenuity- that's not a problem. We live our lives creatively, since we make do or do without for many things! Plus, since getting little ones to eat healthier stuff can be a challenge in and of itself, I've found ways to sneak nutrition into kid-friendly foods.

Well, I guess that's all there is to say for now! I'll be posting each grocery trip and each day's meals, both for the helping hand it may lend to someone reading, and also to help this scattered Mom stay on track!
