View Larger $120/14 Dayz
UPDATE $50/4 Dayz I am…OK with this, although, really, I would like to see myself spending roughly 10$ a day. I now see why Daniel says this will be impossible.
Lucky Moment: Dan’s mom bought us salmon , asparagus and a sweet potato from New Season’s yesterday and put it in our refrigerator for dinner tonight!
Proud Moment: I opened up a can of delicious, self-canned tuna from a friend of mine on the Oregon Coast and made tuna salad with it. I ate it all week for lunch in Nori wraps, and I ate it all (finishing things before they go bad is a problem of mine). In general, I have almost used up everything I bought at Fred Meyer’s for the week.
Nervous Moment: I’m not really sure what I will eat for breakfast and lunch tomorrow (see proud moment).
Regret: The red velvet frozen yogurt was delicious, but I sort of wish I hadn’t bought it. (I will buy it again after the challenge though OMG)
Ethical Question: If Steph pays me back for the ticket tonight and I spend THAT money on drinks tonight, does that count towards the 120? I want to say it doesn’t because I already BOUGHT the tickets. My gut is telling me that in my budget for the month, I sort of did assume I would deposit it and put it towards my credit balance. DON’T WORRY I DON’T HAVE DEBT. I buy things then pay it off every month! Duh!
Weekend Forecast: Food: Grocery Shopping at Fred Meyer’s AND Trader Joe’s, and a few meals out. Entertainment: Netflix shipped us “Social Network” yesterday! I’m so excited! I will also hang out with sisters, my niece and my friend!
Do I think I will meet my goal? Probably not. I imagine will have a little less than 10 dollars for all of next week. That will be interesting.

Original Post:
Is it possible? My college self would be like, hellz yeah, let’s get a pizza, my treat. If I can meet this boring challenge for myself, I will be pretty proud.
Ground Rules I am making up as I type this:
1. This includes all groceries, meals out to eat and coffee
2. Gas counts
3. Unforeseen Disasters do not count
4. This also includes alcohol purchased at the Quasi/Sebadoh show this week.I bought the ticket already, so that does not count.
5. This includes all entertainment as well (ED: Including iTunes purchases!) .
Prize: A summer with minimal to no work.
Wish Me Luck! ED: Daniel says this will be impossible!
