Holding steady!

Still on track this week for $10 or less... yesterday we switched to corn dogs for lunch instead of lunch meat, as there's not much left... and dinner was an easy grilling night of hamburgers. Then, using the left-over hamburger, tonight- tacos!

So, total grocery bill for today was $1.06 for lettuce, which will be used tomorrow night too for grilled chicken salads.

I'm actually having a lot of fun with this goal and realizing how very much we already have on hand. I might even be able to keep this up for another week or two... a lot will depend on how willing my family will be to forgo any eating out for a whole month. I have to admitt, I will be looking forward to a pizza night in the future!

But, it's very cool to prove to yourself that you can forgo the grocery store and use what is at hand to cut back and save some cash.

Along with our grocery game... I was able to save $20 a month on our phone bill by simpling making a phone call to our service provider. Turns out they have a new plan that is cheaper than the one we are using, huh!

The rep suggested we call regularly to find out what plans are available as they often change. So... there's the tip for today-- get on the phone with your phone companies and see what you can save!

Hugs,
Barb
