Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Let just say I need to take Sarah, the host of The 200 Challenge, out for a very nice meal at a very nice restaurant for saving me this much money! No, really!
So what does that mean for 2011? I plan on keeping my grocery budget the same so it should be a good year. I plan on tweaking a few of my other budget categories to save even more money this year than last year. I will let be sure to update you on how I plan on doing that! God is providing for us, and He always will. I hope that my 2011 budget will bring glory to Him because that is what it should do. Everything we do should bring Him glory!
So what are your tricks for saving money? Tell me what works for you! I would love to know for the new year!

Wow! That's great! I'm fixing to start re-working the way I menu plan and start building a more frugal menu. Good luck on your budget and everything else in 2011! Can't wait to read more from you...
That is so cool! Way to go!!
Awesome job! Is that with coupons? Might have to check out the challenge. Lately I have been spending money like it grows on trees.
