The 5 Day $50 Challenge - join in!

Pay attention blog readers! I have a new adventure for you.

During these difficult economic times, I have a challenge for me and my faithful readers to save some money next week. With the extra money you can use it to make an extra payment on a bill, donate to a charity, donate food to a local food pantry, etc.

 The challenge is to feed your family dinner for $50 total from Monday through Friday. Start thinking about some ideas. Share them on my blog. What can you buy and cook for the week and still keep your family satisfied? Since I am making the challenge, I get to make the rules:
    *The challenge is from Monday, July 27 through Friday, July 31
    *If you have a family larger than 4 people, feel free to add $2.00 per extra person more per day in this challenge. That means the Duggar's can add an additional $160 for the week.
    *If you go out to dinner, you still have to stay in your $50 per week budget. Looks like my 24th wedding anniversary on Monday will have to come from the McDonald's Dollar Menu, yikes!
    *Share your menu ideas by commenting on the blog next week. It is easy to do so join in.

Are you up to the challenge? Let me know.

I am up for the idea and it is possible. I have been able to feed our family of 4 for a whole week by only spending $85.00. That includes the multiple gallons of milk my family sucks down each week. What fun!!! Hope to see some new menu ideas.
