Dollar by Dollar

OK,

We had seen this on facebook and we are taking this challenge. Money is tight and we are getting ready for our summer "REBUILD our funds because WINTER ate it all up" makeup challenge.

We don't smoke, we don't drink coffee, we don't shop for anything outside of fabrics and foods - so for us the challenge will be tuff. But we are up for doing this. The total saved could purchase a house full of furniture for us when we get our new home or new rental because Lord help us we can not/will not rent from here again (landlord is nice) but the heating prices are not worth the rental - not when we are paying more for heat then the rent itself.

Take the challenge - maybe this could be used for your Christmas fund or that mini vacation you wanted... Or make a donation to a great cause...

Soup Sundays

I am so ready for winter. For us Winter has to be a CHEAP winter but a FUN one. And now that my wife and I are cooking together as a team, just like everything else we do together, this has to be the most fun. And what an education I am getting.

Soup Sunday is a crockpot meal that serves lunch and dinner for us - cutting our day food budget in half.

10 cups water (however my wife uses homemade stock for 5 of those cups)
1 lb of mix beans (we prefer the mix over just one type of bean)
1 onion
1-2 cups of mix veggies (carrots, celery, tomatoes, potatoes - we do not eat corn so NO corn)
maybe some meat if we were able to get it at $2.00 a lb or less.
and HERBS... Oh yes many herbs.

Let it cook while we are at Church and then its ready for us for when we get back.

 

The cost of homemade vs store boughten (sorry using this very word from LHP) is very shocking which for us is important but we also enjoy the bonding of cooking together as Husband and Wife.
