Welcome!

So, my car dies and I decided to bite the bullet and go purchase a new car. Of course, I have always wanted a new car... but was never able to afford a monthly car payment. I figured out my monthly finances and a price I could afford, went shopping, and got a great new car!

Then of course, literally the next morning my roommate announces that she is moving out in a month. AGHH! There goes the extra money for the car payment! Back to the drawing board... how to save money so I can survive?!

I have tried to go on a spending diet before... of course then things happen, i.e. it's my friend's birthday, and the old Saturn needed $400 worth of work, or.... you catch my drift. Goodbye diet.

Then, being a foodie certainly doesn't help my budget... I fawn over meals from Bon Appetit... things like Roasted Leg of Lamb and other $100 menus, which I always want to cook for and with my friends!

So, how to save money, and still eat? Well. It is certainly going to take some creativity. But I have been trying out some things, and I think that I really will be able to "eat like a queen" for less than $10 a day.

My sister Allie just moved out to LA without a job... so we are going to do this together! Let's see how we do!

Love,

Steph
