A New Challenge !!

Next week I will be starting a new challenge and I thought I would start a new blog to help me along. Due to some financial difficulties (most of which I have brought upon myself) I am having to lower my food budget from $100 a week to $40 a week.  It is my husband and I most of the time with my dd eating with us occasionally.  I will be trying to stay out of the grocery store until November 8 which is our next payday.

I know this will be a struggle with the holiday season coming up but my goal (and my dh :)) is to be debt free as soon as possible and this is the first start towards that goal.  We have a lot of debt, almost drowning debt, and he need to get a handle on it now.  To top it all off my dd is getting married next July 2014 and we will need to find the money to pay for that also.

So, come and join me on this new journey.  My goal is to average $40 a week.  Let's see if I can do it.
