Well here goes! After reading other posts I feel not only the inspiration but the neccessity to challenge myself.
I am single, living on an invalid benefit. The system we have here in NZ is generous, I am subsidized for my rent and have doc visits & meds paid for.
Still, the economy is crazy and prices are going high for food, power, petrol. You guys know how it is!
I am mobile most of the time and can garden, sew, bake.
Once a week I have lunch for $4 at the community mental health centre (nikau), and can also drop in for free tea & coffee & afternoon tea, usually scones & fruit. I try to walk there instead of driving.
I have 2 very supportive dd's nearby.
My challenges
Not buy what I can make or grow
Pay down debt
Use up food in pantry & freezer ( will inventory these over next little while)
Today I -
Made yoghurt cheese
Sowed lettuce and zucchini seed
Am making lamb & veg curry
