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.

roo apron giveaway

A few months ago the good people of Roo Aprons sent me one to try {Roo Apron, like kangaROO pouch. Get it. Clever, right?!}. Even though I was a bit skeptical that an apron could be as cool as they claimed, I gave it a try. I used it for the first time when picking apples and let me tell you Bob, it was the coolest thing ever. Way easier than lugging around a bag or box to collect them in. I didn’t have to carry anything else around except myself. How awesome is that?

Well I fell in love with the thing so I told you about it {I even gave a few away during the 24 Days of Christmas Giveaways}, and so many of you bought them and fell in love with them too. If you’ve never tried the Roo apron, here are a few reason I think you’ll love it:

  • It’s made from industrial strength cotton so it’s tough as nails.
  • It has a water resistant nylon storage pouch so nothing will leak through to your clothes or poke you through the apron.
  • The plastic hooks allow for easy release of the pouch.
  • It has self adjusting straps that make for a comfortable fit for all sizes.
  • I can throw the apron I’ve dirtied into the washing machine with all my other laundry!
  • The Roo is very affordable!

Seeing as how I love my Roo so much, it just made sense to have ANOTHER Roo Apron Giveaway! So TWO lucky readers will win a Roo Apron of their very own!

  283. My wife says turquoise, I say red. So it really doesn’t matter if my name gets pulled from the hat. Love the concept, I’ve ruined quite a few Brandywine tomatoes when they slip out of the over-full colander and burst their seams on the mulch.

  301. I would love the red one. It would be perfect for me as we just planted about 50 fruit trees and fruiting bushes! I can totally see me wearing this every day!

    Due to my non-tech status, I only follow your blog which is just fine….. enjoy the great tips and interesting posts.

  349. Red…so the chickens can see me coming to gather up all of their eggs…much better than my bulky brown sweater with all the damn holes in the elbows and pockets!

  360. I would choose red because it’s my husband’s favorite color. Besides, it makes me think of the apples I’ll pick from an orchard next fall when I move back to Vermont 🙂 !!!

    I would give a turquoise roo apron to my spouse for picking crops in the garden in our backyard.
