I am totally doing this....I've tried to cut back lately on food items, but still tend to do some of that "mindless" shopping. What can I say? I love the grocery store. :-) Thanks for sharing your idea!! What a GREAT idea!

Alright...I'll finally admit it, I am a total lurker, and often check your blog before lunch (I am in a more western time zone, so it works out that way), and am a bit of a Kath addict!! I really like your ideas, recipes, and general candor on your blog!! This is one of the best ideas that you've had so far!! I'm from Canada...so I'm going to have to check as to when the actual American Thanksgiving is, but I too am going to follow the $126 rule.. (I'm just one...but its CDN funds...so its a little bit less? ;)) I religiously keep track of my spending....however, I continue to watch myself p*ss away my money!! Not sure if that makes it worse!!!! :) I look forward to hearing about your progress with this challenge!! Noelle Hey Kath…

Is your goal of $127 just for food items? Since I've started looking at our bill more closely I've noticed a lot of high-ticket items are non-food items.

I think I am going to aim for $127, because 27 is my favorite number. I rarely go out to eat, but I do love good quality cocktails which are normally quite expensive so I will only be able to go out a couple times this month, which is probably a good thing.
