Welcome to my play-by-play of the All You Magazine 2009 All You Grocery Challenge! Whether you linked through my 'regular' blog or from the All You site, I'm happy to have you here!
The challenge begins on July 13, 2009, so I'll spend some time between now and then 'cuting things up' around here. I plan to share my shopping strageties, menus, recipes and more! I hope you will find information that helps you save as well.
Back soon with more, but in the mean time, feel free to leave a little note!
