He eats when he can and where he can, but if that is included in the budget for the month, then I guess it's ok! Our pantry and freezers are full, and aside from milk and produce, there is nothing else we need. We are aiming for Vegas in March, so this will be a great jump start to saving.

I will be making my own cleaners and laundry soap this year as I run out of my stockpile. This challenge excites me because I know there are many ways to be frugal or just make do with less and I need to be doing as many of them as possible.
