I am jumping in on the organic train

JANE4girls · #1 (**permalink**) 01-04-2008, 02:17 AM

howdy all...as part of my resolution I am eating healthier and helping my family do the same...all while trying to stick to my $800 annual budget...but I know it can be done with the help of you great people.

Some of you may know me from the worlds best site Hot Coupon World, for those who don't, hi...I am from Texas.

DD16 won't eat meat, none of us really like that much...we will eat some chicken and seafood though. My hardest task is keeping it healthy for all of us.

So teach me the organic deals...I am ready

Ditto on wanting to see how you do this on an $800 budget! I've been so impressed by how you were doing in your posts on HCW!

Welcome to the group!

Welcome!

Now if I only had the tenacity (sp?) to actually write and stick to a budget! That's another story though!

YEAH!! I cannot wait to see the reflections on your blog!! :) (I read your blogspot one). :)

WOW! If you can do it on $800 a year, then I can too! Right now I am spending about $600 a month for our family of 6 (down from $1000 a month). This month I am hoping to get down to below $400 a month. For me, it is all about baby steps. I have been too careless with our grocery money (btw - this includes not only food, but toiletries, cleaning supplies and diapers).

yep my budget includes everything too, even eating out and dog food..which someone we adopted a new dog the other day...not sure how they tricked me into that?
