$70 or Bust?

Well, even among the "controversy" we made it... with $4.44 left in my little grocery change purse. I broke down and bought Troy 2 jars of salsa at Safeway for $5 total. I'll be rolling the $4.44 into next months grocery budget.

With the money we saved (we figure it was $250 based on our previous budgets), we bought laminate flooring for the babies room. Total for the flooring was $240.72 and hopefully we can take one of those boxes back if the cutting and laying goes well.

Troy is off on another challenge, just him for a week. Maybe we'll try another grocery challenge in January using no meat from the freezer :) Then again, it will all depend on when this baby decides it's time (due date: January 28th).

I didn't intend my 'bogus' comment to start such a controversy!
Good job guys!

I don't care much about the bogus at all.

Anything that get people to take a stand and speak is cool with me.

Wait till you get to see the next bogus challenge, LOL LOL

Good job guys! I've been on a tight budget myself and even if I left the cost of meat out I know I was not close to your $70.

Can't wait to hear about the cleanse. I've done this in the past and plan on doing another one in January (after the Holiday's are behind me).

Some controversy is always good. It made me re-think our challenge and how we could do it "better" next time around.

Besides, just like Troy, I enjoy a good challenge :)
