my $50 a week grocery budget challenge

So many times I try to budget only to go OVER budget, well not this time. As of  October 1,  2011, I will be giving myself a $50 week budget for groceries and toiletries.  I have read many books, watched shows, and read websites many with things I can uses others that were just plain way to out there for me.  For several months I have been practicing the world of couponing and I have a nice little stock pile, we also have plenty of meat and fish in our freezer, so this is why know I feel that $50 a week will hopefully not be to hard.  One of my new found joys is in a dehydrator that my daughter's friends mom gave me FREE and FREE apples from my parents tree, this equals FREE yummy and healthy snacks.  I am also trying to make more things from scratch,  muffins with the FREE zucchini from my husbands grandpa, homemade waffles, stew, chili, and some soups.  I am not someone who likes to cook, actually I would rather clean toilets, but in my quest to live more frugal I am trying. I would have said to live more simple, but the cooking isn't so simple to me. Anyhow, this weekend I will make my first $50 shopping trip and will post what I get and what I will be feeding the family for the next week. Hope to see you back here to see how I do!! :)
