I wanted to start a budget for how much do I spend /can I spend a week. I wanted to know how much
luck do you ladies have at this?
any tips?
I wanted to see if I could by food for dinner,lunch ect. for 5 days at $50 including toilet papper /paper towels.
Think it can be done? lol 1|1|Check out the Frugal Living board.....all kinds of ideas there! :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:05:55|01/17/2009|

I am given 200 a week so I was thinking
maybe I can spend 50 on food to feed us then I would have 150 left over to save or use for other stuff.
Lets see what happens .I am going to try it starting monday.
Wish me luck ;o) 3|1|No budget here; just always use from stockpile unless...|aloha2u|alohamillion@yahoo.com|20:37:30|01/17/2009|
I send hubby to the store (then he brings back all sorts of extras we do not need.)
I buy milk, dairy items, bread items on sale at walmart every week using a match ad as someone always has them on sale (just take the ad in w/ you.)
I buy fresh fruit as it goes on sale, use coupons most times for salad and produce.
And unless storage is an issue, I buy as much as I can of stockpile items bc I can always sell them locally to recoup money spent or just donate them if they get short dated so someone can get their use.
