Hi All,
May this be the year of lots of saving for us.
May it be a frugal year, and hopefully I will stay within my budget (limit).
If I can do that then it will be a better year.
Wishing everyone success in whatever your goal for 2014 is.

Just looked at my grocery spending for the year and it came to $567 per month for 2 adults and a teen girl-now if it was a boy I am sure it would be higher! 2 of us were away for the first 6 weeks of the year and we added a 10 year old student for the last 4 months of the year so I figure on average we fed 3 people per month Anyway I am happy with that and if I can keep it under 600-650 per month for next year that will be good. We will be feeding 4 until the end of June when our student returns to Korea. I realize some people do very well and spend less and others more but I am happy with the variety we eat and our budget allows this. I was just chatting to a friend the other day whose friend moved from Calgary to Toronto and found groceries were definitely cheaper there-although I am sure there are other things that might cost more. Any $ shaved off our food budget go into the travel fund so that is good motivation to try and shop frugally!

Great job on the meat sale....
Love the fact that you stocked up when you saw that it was a great price.
We are a big meal eater too. And I need a great sale on "real meat"...I did stock up on the Janes chicken this week that Walmart has on sale, so lots of nuggets in the freezer....hoping to pick up some ribs at NF tomorrow before that sale ends...but like you, I would love to see ground beef, and some chicken and pork on sale, oh and I all so stock up on some bacon from FB.
Great job!Last edited by LuvToUseCoupons; Wed, Jan 1st, 2014 at 04:09 PM.

Time to wake the kids up from their naps so they will go to bed tonight. Had I known they were going to sleep this long I would have joined them.

HI all so I decided to make bread this am with my kitchenaid mixer, ended up making 1 loaf, 6 single buns (wanted to see if the recipe was good to use as buns) and 5 pieces of bannock (deep fried bread), it turned out wonderful and so tasty.
I used the basic white bread recipe that came with the mixer.
In-laws invited us over for dinner (chicken - lol) which was nice to have the night off from cooking.
Now watching exteme cheapskakes on TLC .
So I have narrowed down my goals challenges for this year and they are:
1 new recipe per week
pay off or down LOC as much as possible
continue on with the projects that I can do myself
but I think I was trying to do too many or wanted to do too many challenges for 2014 so decided to start small and work my way up if possible.2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

I have been busy sorting through our stockpile. I think this year it will be my goal not to buy any body wash/shampoo for me unless it is free. I live in a house of men and I have 4 times more health and beauty stuff.
I did a turkey for dinner, I needed the freezer space for the Janes chickenFriends don't let real friends pay full price.

Happy New Year, everyone! I'm so glad we have this thread - more encouragement to make the frugal choice! Sorry about your losses, Granger!
Dh and I have made a pact - REAL consideration of "non-essentials" before we buy.

I have a confession. On the first day of the new year, I`ve already blown it. Ordered a Sh!t load of books from book outlet. Their 25% off sale ended today and I was able to finish a couple sets that I had started. I still have about 60 books on my wishlist but I know I won`t be getting all of them.
