My £100 challenge.

Right

I was chatting to my sister who lives on a fixed income and economises a lot. I have said I am going to see if I can survive on £100 this week. Usually I just spend on whatever and wonder where my money goes but just for one week I am going to see if I can track it properly and economise!!!!!! I will draw £100 out today and then put my card away! Eek

Wish me luck. I don’t have any major expenses this week (touch wood)  – just bus fares for work – and food for everybody.

I set myself this challenge this morning. I have 200 till the 24th (payday!). But I put everything on my debit card, otherwuse find it so hard to keep track of cash. Good luck!

It’s reasonably easy to do it for one week – especially if you meal plan to use up what’s in the cupboards. Where it gets harder is when all the store cupboard stuff is gone! then you have to cut back hugely on meat/treats etc.
