Our Experiment

So, today we were looking at our credit card statement and bank account statement. . . between Christmas, traveling, after Christmas clearance sales and Tyler's extensive dental work, I made a decision. I currently have $45 in cash. My experiement is to see how far I can make that money stretch. I thought of giving myself a time restraint, such as one month, but I thought it would more fun to see how far I can make it go. This $45 is for all grocery items, walgreens trips, anything extra. This does not include gas for the car or any regular bills.

So. . . wish me luck, and I'll keep you updated!
(oh, and don't worry about us, we are fine. . . I just wanted to do something to make myself more accountable!!) :)
