I am doing a budget

[reno cool]

Front end alignments, tie rods and bearings are all very expensive, I hear you pal.

I know you bought your car outright and I only rented one when I was horny.

now that's foking poetry people

French fries...

Correct.

If you want fries, don't buy cheese and lettuce. Use the money saved to buy a couple pounds of potatoes and cooking oil. Still $15 cost.

 

[Mudcat]

People here keep wanting money for stuff. That's my biggest challenge.

 

[roguejuror]

i just want your love

 

[Mudcat]

Prolly easier to get my money. My heart is tragically locked up like a vault.

 

[FairWarning]

Get a room you two.

Are you 115# or less RJ?

 

[roguejuror]

for muddy i'll get on a diet

 

[Mudcat]

Stopped by at the grocery store yesterday and green seedless grapes were on sale for $1.77 per pound. Lately it has been $3.99 with one brief dip to $3.49.

Yesterday ---> $1.77.

How did you blow 6 figures again?

it's easier than one would think.

 

[Mudcat]

Could you live on 10 bucks a day for food?

My actual figure will be a bit more than that but just for the sake of hypotheticating - there's a nice round number.

Fuck that.

probably, if I had to. would likely involve rice stir fry, ground beef, ramen noodles, lots of potatoes. but yeah there stuff you can do in theory with $4 a meal

Of course you can. I don't, but it could theoretically easily be done.

You'll be eating very little (if any which sucks) protein on $10 a day but, yes, it can be done.

 

[Mudcat]

Fortunate for me I basically never eat out. Throw a few of those in the mix and that would take a bite into the remaining daily average.

So it is no hardship to not eat out.

I think I could get by on 10 bucks a day.

To clarify: talkin' not just food but groceries. Includes toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant yada yada.

I haven't been (living on that). I'm sure of that. I feel like I've been doing about 2 trips to the grocery store per week @ ~70 a shot. Pretty simple math ---> that's 20 bucks a day.

We'll see how things go. Probably finalizing the budget this weekend and then start officially with my next paycheque which is the 15th of the month.

 

[Cami]

Budgets are for losers.

Just kidding. maybe.

I'm tempted to try this. I may have to cut out daily Starbucks and Red Bull which I was supposed to cut out anyway with new meds...that is $5 right there.

I waste a LOT of food though...throw out a lot of impulse buys that I don't eat. This might be a good way to change that.

It seems easy to me at first glance, but considering how much I spend on groceries, it would be a massive change. I think I'm up for the challenge though.

I don't eat a lot of meat, and I have a stocked freezer right now, so I have that going for me.

Gamelive grocery budget challenge. I'll start next Monday.

When Cleveland loses I may lower that goal to $5 a day.

I follow this kid for a month consistently winning and betting conservatively. Collect I think 4? weeks in a row. Monday I decide to reduce # of plays and load up on him, and he can't hit the broadside of a barn. I think I have lost more in the last 3 days than I won in the last month. #iamush
