$40/ Week Grocery Challenge

April 13, 2026 3:57 pm Published by

Food is expensive and it’s getting harder and harder to stick to any sort of budget when prices seem to go up every week.

I love a good challenge. I use the Flipp app, price match where possible, collect reward points and use them and meal plan every week so I buy what I need.

I love having a plan. But I really love going through my kitchen every week, taking inventory of what we have, planning the week with what we have and putting the rest on the grocery list and sticking to it.

It’s not easy.

A couple from Vancouver started an extreme budget challenge in January and have been documenting their journey.
