Are you up for another challenge? Starting July 13 you will have the chance to participate in the All You Grocery Challenge for your chance to win some great prizes. You may have already read about the Challenge in the July issue of All You, but in case you haven’t, here are the details.
What is the All You Grocery Challenge?
Basically, the challenge is to spend $25 or less on groceries for each person in your family. Many of you are already doing this so this may not be much of a challenge! For my family of three (and one on the way), we would be allotted $75 a week to spend on all food items purchased. Since we typically spend significantly less than that on groceries and toiletries, I am definitely planning to participate. I love a good challenge. I hope you’ll join me!
What are the rules?
You may spend $25 per family member per week on groceries.
All children older than one are included in the total count of family members. You do not have to include the cost of formula or food purchased for children less than one year old in your total.
All groceries purchased during the contest period count toward your weekly total. However, you can also grow your own food, barter with neighbors and friends and use stockpiled items to create your meals. The amount you spend eating out also needs to be counted toward your total.
Household supplies and toiletries do not count towards each week’s total.
If you spend less than $25 per family member one week, the leftover money may NOT be added to the next week’s total. Please spend only $25 or less per family member each week.
Be sure to save all your receipts because if you are a finalist, you will be required to submit them to All You. To help you track your spending, All You has created a Spending Log here.
You can also post your strategies and tell All You readers your money-saving tips on the Grocery Challenge blog.
Once you’ve registered, you will receive weekly emails with tips, recipes and ideas to have you save money at the grocery store. At the end of the Challenge, you will need to fill out the exit form to activate your entry.
When is the Challenge?
The four week Grocery Challenge begins on July 13 and ends on August 10. You must sign up by July 12 to be an active participant. You will have until August 17 to submit your final results.
What are the prizes?
There are some great prizes available! Out of ten finalists one lucky winner will receive a $1,000 grocery card plus a year’s supply of Knorr Side Dishes. The winner also will appear on the CBS Early Show in December! Now is your chance to compete for your 15 seconds of fame.
The best part is that you could possibly win the Challenge by shopping for groceries the way you already shop every week.
How do I register?
You can sign up here to be a participant in the the All You Grocery Challenge. I would love to see one of you win! If you decide to participate, please leave a comment letting me know. Be sure to register by July 12.
Have a great 4th of July weekend!
