[couponsmakecents]

I am in and trying for $15.00 I know sounds unreachable but I have a lot of RR's and rebates coming in as well as mystery shops so I hope to make it

I'd love to join again! I'm in for $100 for the month, including all groceries, pet stuff, HBA, and eating out.

Can you count me in for November $250.00 budget for 4 plus 2 dogs.
I know I went way over my October budget but i am pretty stocked up on meat as we are big meat eaters. I may be hosting Thanksgiving this year... This will be my 2nd try bad time of year for trying but got to start some month.. Back to work tomorrow.

I'm in!! I'm gonna shoot for $365 for the entire month, including the Thanksgiving meal. It'll be tough, but I'm up for the challenge....

I am in and won't be stockpiling as much. My last yard sale is coming up and I am planning on stopping my stockpiling for a while. Just necessities so I can stretch that money for a long time.

So I don't need all these stockpile sales to show up Nov/Dec.

I have to research and set a goal for total spending for the month. Bottom line spending.
No 10%, no rebates counted, no coupon sales, no stockpile trades counted as incoming against my spending - Just plain old spending for everything.
Got to make my funds go further.
Walgreens kills me!

Hard times are upon us so I will be eating up bunches from the pantry too and this thread is a life saver for menus - so SJ you will be seeing me pretty much every month you do these.

I can use the company

I was actually thinking the same thing about the spending being so high.
Since I know how to 'work the system' even the under 10% spending seems huge!

Im in, ill shoot for $350 for the month. stocked up in October, so should be better.

OK, I never got going last month so I'm going to do it this month. My goal is $250 for the month. I get paid on the 30th so I'm going to take out $250 in cash for the month. I think that will really help me keep track of my spending.

I'm in - $150 for the month - oh the baking sales and THANKSGIVING!!!! (I've already asked my family to help pitch in for the food - I always get stuck paying for everything, cooking everything, and cleaning everything up - totally not cool)
