by Aimee at September 6, 2013 in Budgetting, My Tips
The winner of the 10 Week Grocery Challenge “Slash Your Budget By $20 Per Week” Winner is….. ANNA! I am so excited how far you came in this challenge. I know many of you were pushed to find good deals and you did! I also had a hard time spending only $30 per week for all our groceries, but now we know it is possible!
This is a great challenge during the summer, especially when the power bill is so much with the heat. Also, if you’re trying to save money for Christmas, you could take the challenge yourself!
ANNA you won a prize pack from me including:
(3) Pillsbury Heat-N-Go Free product coupons
(1) Popcorn, Indiana Free product coupon
(1) Stremick’s Heritage Organic Milk Free product coupon
(1) $10 Chili’s Gift Card
(4) Inserts including Red Plum and September issue of P&G
ENJOY and a BIG THANK YOU to all that participated!!!
