The newest challenge is starting tomorrow. It is to try and go one entire week without spending any money. Of course you can pay bills. (the government would not like it if I did NOT send in my estimated income tax on June 15th.
So, today, I did my grocery shopping several days early. Our payday is Monday, so I usually shop near the beginning of the week.
The hardest part for me is that my dh does not like to eat frozen meat, so I bought no meat.
This started when we first moved here; we lived in a travel trailer for almost a year while he build our house all by himself.
We had a tiny refrigerator with no freezer, so I would drive the long drive to town and back every few days to get more food.
We do have some steaks and chicken that I bought yesterday on sale, but other than that, we will just have to come up with something or spend money! At least I made sure that the dogs will not starve.
I saved $7 at Bi Lo yesterday buying steaks and ice cream on sale, so I will add that to my challenge money.
Prev. total $10,021.00
today 7.00
new total $10,028.00

Do you ever watch Alone in the Wilderness on PBS? That is my favorite show. When he wanted to eat dinner I caught a fish in Twin Lakes.
Good Luck!!
