Anyone want to join me in a challenge?

Yes I would love to continue doing this next month!! I already have plans to eat out once-the cook needs a break every once in awhile.

I am working on my October menu plan, and I have 1 day scheduled to order pizza. I am doing it on a Monday when Pizza are only $7.99 ea, I am still being fairly frugal about it!!

I hope lots of people join in-The more the merrier!!

Grrr! I came home, all excited about making corn chowder and the first thing DH says when he comes in the door? "How about we order out?"

Then when I tell him about the challenge, he says, "That's okay, I'll pay".

We have seperate accounts right now -- he's still in college, and his money is <i><b>supposed</b></i> to be for his education. But he whined until I caved.

That's it for the weekend, though -- no more crappy food when I can make better for cheaper!

Bright Blessings!

That's the right attitude to have!! No more crappy food that you can make better and cheaper!!

Hi, I am new on the board!! I would like to join this challenge for Oct. My dh is away at school so with just me and the kids this is a real problem!! I am going to limit my self though to 1x a week that we can eat out. I cant count my husband though cause the chow hall is only open on weekdays so on weekends he has to eat out!! So this will just be for me and my girls! I am starting my menu planning for the oct 1- 15 tommorrow!

Well... tonite is a challenge to not go out to eat. My daughter started in right after piano lessons about wanting to pick up Wendy's or go out to eat burgers or chinese. She pushed hard, but I hung tough. Even dh wanted to eat out! Frozen pizzas here tonite!

I failed, but with reason! My SIL had a really rough doctor's appointment and we decided that we should go out to supper to cheer her up. She felt a lot better, so it was all good.

Birght Blessings!
