After taking this challenge ourselves last year, Andrew and I have worked together to keep our grocery budget under $10/day each. At first, it sounded a bit tricky, but now that we have the hang of it, we are dropping that number each month!!
For example, the groceries I just got today from Trader Joes and Aldi will last us the next 7 days (with the addition of rice and potatoes that we already have...) for way less than $10/day total! So, below I am going to list everything we got with the prices. Let me know if this interests you and if I should keep doing posts like this!!
