A personal challenge of sorts…

Last week I got lazy, which means I bought my lunch 3 out of 5 days, which means I spent WAY too much money.

I hate wasting money, especially when I can make something that is more nutritious AND cheaper!

My challenge this week? To spend only the change I have in my purse currently:

$6.76 (I actually thought I had less)

I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. Today I spent $1.75 x2. Looks like I may have to get inventive with my morning coffee and afternoon tea! :)

I am totally in the same boat. I'm trying to only make meals for the next two weeks by all the things I have in my kitchen. The family and I are trying to stay on a tight budget. Good luck!

my husband would be all over that one, I constantly get nagged at for how much I spent eating out! Then again, I love Subway salads and a Starbucks skinny lattes! Today I've already spent $11.20 (ouch!)
Maybe I need to try that challenge.... permanently!

I think that's an awesome challenge. I am starting to take note of all of my trips to the grocery store and how much money I'm REALLY spending on food during the course of a month too. I can definitely tighten that up by being a better planner and using what I have on hand. That's where I'm going to start!
