Good morning, fellow challengers and visitors!
Before I prepare my first (of many) oatmeal breakfasts, I thought I'd finish my ramblings from last night...
After hearing from Ann and Sunny about how they approached their shopping (with $21 in hand, getting the best they could), I began to think about how much work went into my method. Excel spreadsheet aside, I also scoured the grocery store ads for the best deals and used some coupons, which means I used the Sunday paper that landed on my step. Do I count the cost of the paper? I went to four stores (Walgreen's, Marc's, Dave's, Giant Eagle), which means I had the luxuries of my own car, enough free time, and the option to take my time shopping. While I could have walked to Dave's, the other three are not in my neighborhood. Finally, the process took a lot of time and patience. If I had to do this for real, all the time, I think I would be eating Ramen.
