Preface: Eating on a Budget Challenge

The challenge:

This blog was created to track my progress in learning how to eat on a budget. In this blog, I will create a meal plan based on what's on sale at my local grocery store, track what I buy and how much I spend on groceries, give out recipes based on what meals I make, and learn how to preserve leftovers. I will also mention what things I try that didn't work.

About me:

I am a 25 year old woman who is trying to move out of my parents' house. I live in Michigan, and I work at my local grocery store. In order to move out, I want to be prepared to eat healthy on my own. This means spending about $30/week on foods that are not boxed or frozen. This also means learning how to cook and preserve food for later. The internet says it can be done. So I want to make it happen so that someday, my boyfriend and I can live happy and healthy no matter how much money we make. 

Note:

I'm already on day 5 of my challenge, but I'll do my best to bring you all up to speed on what I've done.

Disclaimer:

I'm not an expert on this at all. All I'm doing is googling recipes and tips and attempting to put them all in one place. I'll do my best to link back to my sources, but I make no promises on my diligence.
