The writers of fiftybucksaweek.com are off to North Carolina, the Poconos, and an intensely pleasant backyard in Portland, Oregon, for Independence Day Weekend. We’ll be back on Tuesday, July 7. Till then, go grill yourself some burgers, be they chuck or tempeh, and have a great 4th of July.
And watch out for the zombie frogs.
Mmmmm….tempeh and rainbow chard….
Okay, so not under budget last week after all. We ended the week at $142.29. That’s $17.29 over our $125 per week budget (for two adults and one child). This is going to be a learning experience, though. I need to remember that. I’m a wee bit competitive, so I’d really wanted to come in on or under budget right out of the gate. Ah well. Honestly, I should feel pretty good about that $142.29. We saved the $5 - $7 bucks Billy would have spent on lunch each day, and he had healthier food as a result. It’s a good start.
What I’m going to do differently this week:
