If you're new here, you may want to have these bargains delivered right to your email or subscribe via RSS feed. If you are new to couponing, check out my series the "15 days of Couponing." Thanks for visiting!

The All You Grocery Challenge starts July 13, 2009. Can you spend $25 or less per family member a week? Have creative solutions? If so, you could win some free prizes!

While, I can’t win the contest, I’m still going to be participating privately. For the first week, my goal is to cook more meals at home and using items already in my stockpile. I’ve found several recipes in my new Southern Living Busy Moms Weeknight Favorites cookbook. So far, my family has enjoyed the two recipes I followed from this cookbook!

How do you plan on reaching your goals for the the All You Grocery Challenge?

P.S. #27 Millicent is the winner of the 1 year subscription to All You Magazine!

Can you spend $25 or less for each person in your family on groceries? If so, you could win some free stuff!

I’m so excited to share the new All You Grocery Challenge. It is going to be a fun way for your to either get started saving on your grocery bills or showcase your advanced frugal skills!

I know you can do this as $25/week per person in your family is very generous! For my family of six, we would be challenged to spend $150 or less a week. My average spending for my family (even including toiletries and household items) is around $75/week.  So this is very achievable!

::All You Grocery Challenge Dates

Sign up for the All You Grocery Challenge by July 12 to be an active participant. The ALL YOU Grocery Challenge starts on July 13th and ends on August 17th.

::All You Grocery Challenge Guidelines

The challenge is to spend no more than $25 per family member per week on groceries. Do not include household supplies and toiletries in your total.

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. (This is an area my family needs to work so I will be watching our dining out $$!)

::All You Grocery Challenge Tracking

Save all your receipts as you will be required to submit them if you are a finalist. You can also keep track of your spending on the optional Spending log.

::All You Grocery Challenge Judging

All entries and exit forms will be judged by All You’s editors, based on the following criteria: Staying within contest spending guidelines (50%); creativity and ingenuity (25%); and healthy choices (25%). All You will select 10 finalists, from whom a winner will be chosen on or before August 24, 2009. All finalists must submit grocery receipts.

You will also be featured in All You magazine.  PLUS, the winner will appear on CBS’s the Early Show in December. No matter what — we are all winners when we save on our grocery spending!
