$100 dollar shopping challenge

May 25, 2009

*Losing $224 in pay for May

*Spending some extra money on dad’s birthday present that didn’t work out

*Teacher Assistant End of Year Gift

*other unexpected purchases

With the school year nearing its end and my budget in shambles (I’m hanging in there mom, don’t worry), I am issuing a new challenge for myself and any of my followers who would like to join in.

Between now and June 20 when I am due at the beach (yea!), I am only going to spend $100 at the stores. I don’t plan to include my assistant’s gift in this one hundred dollars, but I will list everything else. This will be tough for me, because I am tempted to chase many deals. BUT this will help restore some sanity to my bank account. I have a well rounded stockpile, and no major pitfalls in sight. I also have $18 in ECB for CVS, and $14 in RR for Walgreens. So I think I can make $100 last for 26 days! Wish me luck! I will keep you posted along the way.
