Introduction

Hello there.

Welcome to my experiment.

You'll see that the name of my new blog is 60 bucks a week.

I have a budget of 60 bucks a week. For groceries, deodorant, shampoo, diapers, soap, household cleaners, toilet paper, etc. Basically anything that isn't a clothing/shoe purchase must fit in those 60 dollars.

Can I do it?

I know I can. In the last 6 months, I have saved over $1300 shopping frugally. I gave myself a year to see if I could save $1500. Heck, I'll meet that by next week, a full 6 months before my deadline. It's gotten kinda boring keeping track of it, honestly. And I've gotten to the point that the only thing I will pay full price for is milk and eggs. Sometimes bread. And even paying full price for those things we need makes me feel ashamed that I wasn't able to find a good deal!

However, over the last 6 months, I haven't kept track of how much I've spent. Just what I've been saving. I want to change that. I want to keep track of my 60 dollars a week. Exactly where each cent went, and how much is left over!

I'll share my deal breakdowns with you in the hopes that you can get some good deals, too!

So, this week, I have my $60 in cash.... stay tuned to find out all I can get for that!
