I'm in too! I think I can do this, because my freezer is well stocked right now so I will only have to buy fresh fruits, milk, snacks etc. Great idea M2M

i'm in i think we can come close since i don't have to buy diapers or dog food this round if i did that would be $60 bucks right there so its a good week for me to shoot for 50.

HAVE A BOOTIFUL HALLOWEEN

I am in! I have a freezer full of chicken, but I will have to make some nonchicken dishes for DH. :-) This will be challenging!

I'm in! This is my first challenge and I'm up for it. Luckily several factors are working in my favor - no step-daughters this week so that lowers my mouths to feed down to 5, no more Pull-ups since we're POTTY-TRAINED! finally! and I just stocked up on chicken that was on sale last week. I'm going to the store today so I'll be sure to tally it up and share how I did!

Finally a SAHM and trying to be FRUGAL!

Stopped by WalMart for a quick-trip.

2 boxes GV Au Gratin Potatoes (1.08 ea)
2 cans corn (.52 ea)
2 cans chicken noodle soup (.50 ea)

Total: $4.20

DS2 likes chicken noodle soup for breakfast (don't ask) and we're out of Campbells. The cheapest I get Campbells is .67 at Costco, so we're trying the WalMart brand to see if he likes it.

We're out of canned corn, so I bought a couple of cans.

We like Au Gratin potatoes with ground beef mixed in. Already have the ground beef. I just needed some potatoes. That's for one dinner this week.
