Day 3 - oops
Ok so I’ve done really good and we’ve pretty much been all about the burgers and beer/tequila that we have in the freezer, but today I may have made a bit of an oopsie. See G is obsessed with William’s Sonoma’s hamburger spice. It’s amazing. I love it too, but he has a bit of a problem with it. He loses it all the time. Last year he lost a container so we bought a new one (he eventually found the old one and used it all) and of course he started off this summer losing the one we had in the pantry. Well, I was at the mall today and ran into WS and they had the burger spice right at the front so I grabbed one, bought it and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized that technically this $10 effort to stop G from whining might have docked my $100. Farking A. So, I’ve made a compromise with myself. Since we won’t use even close to all of it this month or in the next few months and really, it was necessary to prevent whineage I’m only deducting $5. That’s fair enought right? I think so.
So folks - we’re down to $95

I have to laugh because my hubby has been whining and derailing my efforts… Today he informs me that we ran out of about 7 things. And he wanted fancy $5 potato chips. Who spends $5 on potato chips? I managed to talk him out of it. But I may have to somehow exempt some of his items from my budget.

I’ve already spent $8, but bought everything on sale. I doubt we will spend any this weekend. Good luck with the challenge!!

I found your blog through foodieblogroll, and I’m laughing as I read all your posts - I love your writing style. And I think this $100 challenge is so cool…and difficult! I’ll definitely be back to hear what you end up eating on this new budget.
