Nappies, Formula ect
I forgot to mention that Nappies, Formula, Baby Food (Yogurt, Mango's Banana, Rice Cereal ect I will be blending our dinner food for Emelia's dinners) and Fuel DO NOT come into the 21 dollars!!
Can we do it?
It's a little known fact that I have an addiction, that addiction is called shopping (OK so maybe its not a little known fact) I spend loads and loads of money on useless items that I have just got to have... My daughters chest of drawers is bursting with the amount of clothes she has, I can't keep my house clean because of the amount of stuff we have and every time I open my kitchen cupboard something falls out. I am public ally admitting that I have a problem!
"So what are you going to do about this problem" I hear you ask!
Nothing... I'm going shopping tomorrow hahahaha just kidding, We have decided to take up the 21 Dollar Challenge, 21 Dollars a WEEK that is!! I have to feed my family, for a whole week on just 21 Dollars!! So if you feel like inviting us to Dinner feel free!! haha
Trys and I actually spend close to $500 a week on crap, that a lot of money! So starting on the 4 th of April we will be doing this challenge for 4 weeks, we have a wedding in Bali coming up and we figured that if we save $500 a week, for four weeks, then that's our flights and accommodation!
I will be updating my blog every few days to let you know how we are going, please support us, and if you see me going near a shop with my credit card in hand, STOP ME!!! Any hints and tips on saving money and budget recipes will be greatly appreciated!
Wish us luck!

How does it work?
Simple. For one week only you spend just $21 on groceries by stretching the food you already have in your cupboard, pantry, garden and freezer to stay within your $21 budget.Not only will you eat well, you can be $300 richer!
The average family spends $320 per week on food. By completing the $21 challenge for just one week you will have an extra $300 in hand.Trys and I actually spend close to $500 a week on crap, that a lot of money!
