We as a family have decided that we need to cut out our consumerism for 30 days. This means no eating out, eat what we have in the fridge & freezer, dip into our deep freeze and go through and make our meals using up what ever we have in our pantry and stock pile. Good bye gifts, stocking up on stuff that is on sale! If anything does come up we will just have to get creative. We will spend $15 a week on milk and produce, but everything else but paying the bills is off limits unless it is on gas for Mr. Bread Winner to get to and from work. $15 you say, well we need milk and we buy 2 gallons a week so there goes $6, and I make my own baby food. So here it goes. I have 1/2 a tank of gas in my car, 2 adults, a 6 mo old, a 3 year old, 2 dogs and 11 cats (we foster on our own dime for food & litter). Will not dip into any other money for 30 days. Lets see exactly how much money we can save.
