[quote=Anonymous]Good for you.  Just a couple of things to consider, it might be worth it to buy a case of Almond milk.  Some places will give you a further discount if you get a case.
I think $20 for TP/paper towels is a lot every two weeks.  If you can swing it, I'd go to target and buy a huge package of TP.  I've also trained my husband to use fewer paper towels (more for environmental reasons but helps with the bill!)  We now use washcloths for most everything in the kitchen, I got a 10 for $5 at ikea.
I'd also consider buying one nice dinner a week.  The problem with crash savings is it's hard to maintain for a long time.  If you know that you can still have Chinese take out or pizza or steak one night a week, I'm sure you'll stick to this plan longer.

Another thing that helped me was using those check out scanners as you walk through the store (safeway and giant have them).  I could scan each thing as I placed it in the cart and then I knew what the total was adding up to.[/quote]
