In an effort to pay off a few bills that have crept into our life - we are going to abstain from buying groceries during October (actually starting from now!) We will get the few things of necessity - like TP, fresh produce, and butter - that I can't otherwise obtain - but that is all. The goal is to keep spending under $150 for the month for groceries and supplies.
* I have all the grains and beans I need and a freezer full of meat.
* I am putting a stash of rags out where they are handy instead of paper towels.
* When the boxed cereal runs out - we use the bucket of rolled oats and homemade granola.
* Bread will be homemade - I have buckets of wheat berries ready to grind up.
* All snacks will be homemade - including the pudding.
* I have a stash of canned goods that just need a creative touch.
I will post an update or two as we go along - and then a final report at the end of October. Maybe we can make this a habit! Feel free to add helpful hints of ways you have economized.
As an extra (and because it is the only photo I could grab without assistance!) here is Fluffy, the Princess's kitty.
Blessings,
Patti
Patti, that is a good thing to do. If you go to www.inashoe.com, they have been trying to do this for the month of September. I think she called it 30 days with nothing or something like that. You might enjoy reading it.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you Patti as you and your family seek to pay off your debt this month. With the economy the way it is I think it is more important than ever to be debt free. May the Lord richly bless you in your efforts.
