It's always best to have support when spending less. Mommysavers is a great support group! If you want to be challenged to save less this summer, check in here. What type of challenge are you looking for?

Spending freeze?
Use it up challenge?
Any other ideas?

Check in here to participate!

Did i read that right? Do you mean spend less or save less? Save less stuff around the house or save less money? Because if you meant save less money, i think i won that challenge already! lol.

If I had to guess it was a "spend less" challenge and if so I'm all for that! My budget is a little out of whack the last couple of months and I need to get it back in check!

Oh geez, that was an especially bad typo!!! No, I meant spending less/saving more. Not the other way around!! (I edited the post title so people wouldn't think I've totally changed the concept of this site)

I love the idea of "spending less". I try really hard but with two teenagers, it is getting harder.

I am always up to try something. I was kind of sad to see the grocery challenge fizzle out. I am still striving to challenge my self into keeping food expences in check. The challenge for me is to keep things under $500 a month, once I get that down I will see if I can continue to cut it down further.
Oh there is my eating out cash challenge that is working out rather well for us I get $40 a week to spend of frivolus things like coffee and going out and am doing pretty well at not going over.

Sounds good to me. As the embarrassed owner of 13 cans of corn, I definitely need to be in use it up mode.
