πŸ’° 3 real-life grocery budgets & how they’re working with inflation

Hi reader,

If you’ve been struggling to make healthy food affordable - especially in the past several months - there’s a good reason: food prices are the highest they've been in the past 40 years.

The average grocery bill has gone up by $131 for everyone, except for a select group of people known as graduates…


While I’m welcoming new students into
Grocery Budget Bootcamp, I want to share with you a few stories from graduates who just finished the course a few months ago, at the near peak of inflation.

Carol from Wisconsin (family of 6) was spending $1200 per month and she’s cut that in half. She’s saving $600 every month and looking to save even more!

"The money you pay upfront pays for itself in a month. You're going to get that money back two times if not more! It's so, so worth it... If you can save even $200/month, what can you do in a year with that money? You can pay off another bill, or you can save for a trip to Disney. There are so many possibilities!"

Michelle from Alberta, Canada (family of 1) was spending $500 per month and she’s cut that by MORE than half. She's now saving $300 every month!

"This course 'spoke' to me so effectively - it eradicated all doubts, resistance, and excuses I'd been creating. It just made sense! I've walked away creating my budget, knowing how to grocery shop within that budget AND buy in bulk and stockpile... and it's brilliantly simple!"

Tyler Marie from Florida (family of 5) was spending $1300 per month and cut her budget IN HALF - she's saving $650 every month!

“GBB has completely changed our lives! We are able to eat the food WE want for our family and have cut our grocery budget in half. I only wish I would have done this a few years ago when I first found Don't Waste the Crumbs, I would have been able to save myself so much money over the past few years and feed my family so much better.”

2) Who exactly is Grocery Budget Bootcamp for?

Anyone who considers themselves a beginner or intermediate at grocery budgeting.
  • Beginners may have heard about it, perhaps tried clipping coupons, or shopped sales once or twice. They are SERIOUS about mastering this skill and making progress.
  • Intermediates have been doing it (perhaps on and off) for a while, but feel like they’re missing something or know they could be doing it better.

Both will love the details of this course and how everything is laid out step-by-step. They’ll be able to connect with other like-minded students, learn the simple 3-step grocery budgeting process, and start seeing the fruit of your efforts right away.

Intermediates can also use more advanced techniques to streamline their efforts, rack up savings, spend less time in the kitchen, AND keep up with it each week without getting overwhelmed.

 
I didn't want to spend money on something I thought I could figure out myself, and I've been a frugal shopper for a long time - or so I thought! The systematic approach, with each week building on the past one - this is the game changer. It's a logical, easy-to-use system that works very, very well, and it's absolutely worth every penny!
- Lisa from Maryland

3) When does enrollment close? Is there a discount?

Enrollment ends TOMORROW at 11:59pm PT and we discounted the course just for YOU!

 
It seemed silly to spend money to save money at first, but I quickly realized that if I could save even $100 a month off my regular spending, the course would quickly pay for itself - and it did! We went from $900/month to $700/month, and I now have a well-rounded system - not just a list of tips on saving money. I've learned I can feed my family healthy food AND stick to a food budget, even during one of the busiest most productive times of my life!
- Mindy from Texas

4) How long is the course?

The course is 8 weeks long, but it’s okay if you need a bit longer to finish or if you’re in a season where you can get it done quicker. (If you’re worried about waiting 8 weeks to save money, no need to. Most students recoup the cost of the class by the end of Week 2.)

5) Does this course work outside the US?

Yes! We have graduates from over 24 countries, including Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Guam (technically US), Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine.

Some details might be culturally different, but the core concepts behind my system will work across the world!

 
To anyone who is considering Grocery Bootcamp, it changed our lives. We paid off two cars and all our debts except for a small mortgage. We started saving more than $1,000/month and we're spending three months in Europe - all on the savings!
- Charlotte from Australia

6) Does this course work for special diets (i.e. vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.)

Yes! The skills you learn in this course apply to EVERY diet and all eating restrictions. I won’t teach you what foods to buy – instead, I will teach you how to find the best deals on the foods YOU want to buy.

7) What if my shopping options are limited? (i.e. no Costco or other mainstream stores)

It doesn’t matter - this course offers solid concepts and shopping techniques that teach you how to shop with the stores you DO have rather than the stores you don’t, making it work for every family no matter where they live.

(I personally have tested this in coastal California, suburban Georgia, and rural South Carolina!)

 
This was an amazing, life-changing course! It was very intense and it was a significant financial investment, but I believe it was completely worth it. You taught me things it would have taken me years to figure out, if at all. With what I learned, I cut my grocery budget down by $300/month!
- Kristin from Tennessee

8) I already eat real food AND a grocery budget – will I learn anything new in this course?

Absolutely! “It’s one thing to understand theory; it’s something entirely different to put it into action.” (quoted from a GBB graduate)

What you eat and the budget itself are only two slices of the pie. There are 10 other slices to the bigger picture that we have to dissect, learn, and apply in order to truly maximize our savings every month. I’m confident that even the most seasoned grocery budgeter and foodie will learn something in this course!

 
My husband and I have 8 children and we have always lived on one income, so we have learned to be very frugal with our grocery budget over the years. We have been following many of the points you laid out already, but I took the course to see if I was missing anything. In the end, I found Grocery Budget Bootcamp course to be very thorough and complete! You have done a lot of work to put this course together and I am sure there will be a lot of families saving a ton of money on their groceries now. Good work!
– Colleen from Ontario, Canada
