One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

I stopped by Q13 Fox News this afternoon and chatted with Marni about feeding my family for One Hundred Dollars a Month. Who knew saving money could be so much fun? Here is the video in case you missed it.

  1. I love how she’s so incredulous… and was trying so hard, in a very subtle way, to get you to say something radical, like that you don’t think milk has any expiration date! LOL. Oh, Marni!

    You did great, Mavis! Was that a jar of homemade granola?

  6. Great video Mavis. Sure puts gives me hope in the “not buying it” part of our blog.

    Oh, Sherrill here, the other half of Five Mile Furrow blog with Michelle.

    You are amazing. Happy gardening.

  9. You rocked that piece! I was anxious to hear what you sounded like, and see your mannerisms … When I saw you in your ponytail & glasses looking like I’ve come to think of you, I felt so reassured, and thought how genuine you are … I’ve really enjoyed your blog … Particularly the gardening tips, but also your recent focus on getting away from processed foods.

    My cheese making kit arrived from Amazon today … Thanks for the tip!!

  15. Well done! I thought I saw you wanting to correct her when at the end she said your website is called “Hundred Dollars a Month”. Way to hold that in! Not easy to do! Thank goodness they had the correct website name listed at the bottom of the shot. 😀

  17. After reading your blog for over a year, it’s always fun to actually see & hear you! You did very well, though I know those type of spots can be nerve-wracking. And yeah, as Margaret said, they seem to have a difficult time getting your site name right! 🙂

  22. I thought was great, she didn’t give you enough time! You didn’t get to tell about bartering and the grocery veggie left overs… I asked our produce manager at Hannafords and he told me they give the leftovers to the food bank and the really bad stuff they had to throw away store policy, I told him I would come and get it for my chickens and compost but he said no he couldn’t ….
