I don’t know why, but I was drawn to your challenge and I came up with a better idea. How ’bout you only buy things for 1 year that are on sale or you have a coupon for? This obviously won’t include gas, mortgage, utilities, etc., but should include groceries, eating out, and clothing.

I actually second the idea of reporting how much you save each week and how you did it. I think that would provide a little more insight on how you apply your frugality skillz (yes, skills with a “z”).

For example, did you go grocery shopping and take advantage of Rainbow’s fabulous sale of pot roast and free onions, potatoes and carrots? Did you purchase something using a sale and a coupon (which saves even more money)?

How about you just post how much money you save each week through coupons, sales, etc.?

Piglet really does look a lot like you. And excellent budgeting skills! I am not going to tell you what I spent on beads and fabric yesterday…

Yeah eye candy! That is a very cute picture of you and the boy, if I do say so myself.
