Have y'all heard about this? All You Grocery Challenge

All the couponing blogs I read are talking about the All You Grocery Challenge. Here are the details from All You:

We're thrilled that you're joining the ALL YOU Grocery Challenge! Show off your shopping smarts by spending no more than $25 per family member per week on groceries over a four-week period beginning July 13. That's $100 a week for a family of four. You could win a $1,000 grocery card plus a year's supply of Knorr side dishes and the chance to appear in ALL YOU magazine.
Follow these guidelines:
During the contest, groceries that you purchase count toward your weekly total. However, feel free to grow, barter or use stockpiled food to supplement your meals. Creativity and ingenuity count!
If you eat at a restaurant or buy takeout, the cost must go toward the week's total.
Household supplies and toiletries do not count toward each weeks total.
Keep track of your money using the optional Spending Log.
Save receipts--you will be required to submit them if you are a finalist.
Post your strategies on our
Grocery Challenge blog, and be sure to tell us your money-saving tips

Official Rules
The contest starts July 13 (we'll send you a reminder email), so start planning your strategies now. Good luck!


$100 a week for my family of four and it doesn't include household supplies and toiletries??? Seriously???

I'm wondering if I should do this. July 12 is the sign-up deadline.

If anyone wants to try it (and I totally think y'all should!) - be sure to check your favorite couponing blog to see if they have a sign-up link. I think they are getting some kind of kick-back from All You and it's nice to support those that help us all out so much. If I sign up, I'll do it through Common Sense with Money. I believe I saw a link over at Southern Savers as well (and thank you Lourdes for recommending that site).

hmmm....decisions, decisions.
