blog changes and $20 challenge thoughts

June 13th, 2007 at 10:58 pm

I am still tweaking the colors on the blog. I wish there was a way to see the colors on the blog before updating and then having click back to the blog.

As I said in a previous entry I buy breakfast every morning at work. I have now decided to give myself a budget of $2.00 each morning. Whatever I don;t spend of that goes into my piggy bank (well actually my elephant bank but you get the idea)
I am toying around with the idea of the $20 challenge but I need to sit down and figure out how and what I want to add to it. When I see some people putting in coupon savings and such I pause. I use coupons too, but insead of putting that savings into an account I use the savings as a way to stretch my budget for a particular item. Is this just not a frugal way to think or is this a valid thought process. I guess it just depends on what each person is comfortable with and how one sees that savings. Any thoughts?

    I use my coupon savings as a way of expanding my grocery budget. For example, I pay out cash of about $200 every four weeks for groceries but I get food worth $250 using coupons, at least in a good month. So I get what you're saying and it makes perfect sense to me. Another person might use the $50 freed up through coupon use to buy something like jeans or a DVD or something.
