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.

  1. I would love to stop by Bob’s Red Mill booth. I’m sure I will find some yummy stuff to buy 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  3. I am so looking forward to this event!! I’m looking forward to Bob’s Red Mill, any and everything related to organic gardening and backyard chickens. It’s gonna be AWESOME!

  7. I would love to learn more about beekeeping as well as heritage breed pigs. Both are on my list of animals I would like to add to my farm.

  8. it all looks awesome, but the kid stuff sounds intriguing, as well as ecothrifty living.

  10. I would love to attend the Free-Range Clothing demonstration. I make and sell canvas bags and purses here in Gig Harbor, and I would love to learn more about the organic fabric industry.

  11. I plan on checking out raising goats, making cheese, solar power in Washington and Joel Salatin and Ed Begley. For starters:)

  13. I’m looking forward to purchasing more seeds (you can never have enough!) I’m also looking forward to learning more about beekeeping :0)

  14. Ooohhhh. I would love to see anything on the real food stage. True American spirit, and the one pot, one hour, lasagna cheese!

  17. EVERYTHING!!! Thanks for this give away. All of the booths and demos looks awesome. I’ve never been and I’m super excited to go.

  18. I want to learn more about greenhouses and cheese making!! I want to hit up Botanical Seeds too!!

  20. there’s some pretty funny stuff – my must-see demos would probably be the one pot, one hour lasagna cheese…..or the one on chicken whispering, lol

  21. Wow, any of the gardening, or chickens, or food stuff! And for sure check out Botanical Seeds!

  23. I don’t know! I would sure love to go. I think the one thing I’d like is the organic gardening tips. You can never have too many.

  24. I’m really interested in talking to some of the solar installers and seeing about having a system installed on my house. Additionally, I’d love to see the Basic Beekeeping workshop, as we’ve got a small group of Orange Rumped Bumblebees now that I just love having around for pollination purposes, but how I’d love to gain some honey out of the deal!

  26. I saw you there last year! My kids love the barn, they love holding the baby chicks and bunnies. I am looking forward to the Nursery area and grabbing another Brazelberry plant or two.

  27. I love the bookfair inside the show, for two years I slowly look at every book and let myself buy one! 😉

  28. I have never been (but have wanted to!). I would love Bob’s Red Mill booth, learning more about owning chickens and anything to do with organic vegetable gardening

  29. I would love to attend any of the “raising chicken” talks, visiting the nursery area and stopping by Botanical Seeds

  33. I want to buy a polka dot chick! I saw one last year and allllllmost bought it…. I loved everything about the MEF. Organic food, chocolate, lots of crazy crunchy living stuff!

  34. It is a tie between the Shut the Greenhouse Door! and Front Yard Edibles. We just moved here from Arizona and this is my first year gardening ever. Seems like the greenhouse gets too hot, but then again is a cheap one. Want to learn more about it before buying a permanent greenhouse and the front yard because I want to grow food there too, but have to convince the hubby that it won’t look crazy! Thank you Mavis!

  35. I’ve never heard of this event before and I’ve lived near the puyallup fair grounds all my life! I learn so much from you. Since I’m unfamiliar with the event and its booths, I can honestly say I’m excited for it all!! We’ve only just planted out garden this year (very first) and I’m working in finishing up my chicken coop so I can go get my chicks ( any day now). I love learning about all the wonderful things you can make from things you grow I your own garden. What can I say, Little House ON The Prairie was a favorite show as a kid :). I love to knit, sew, cook, bake… Just today my youngest son and I made butter…. Butter!!!
    Needless to say this fair sounds awesome!!! I’d love to win some passes.

  36. I have never been…. I would love the opportunity to go and check out All of the booths 😉 Thank you for the chance to win.

  37. Botanical interest for sure, will your online boyfriend be there? Will you? I’d love to meet you, you’re my hero!
    Thank you!!

  38. Definitely the Botanical Interest booth!!!! I would love to talk to them about which varieties I should specifically try out here! 😛

  39. I have been living in Puyallup for the last 5 yrs, since moving here from Australia. I have never heard of this Fair until I got
    you daily blog. I was very interested and decided to look on their website. There is so much that I am interested in seeing
    at the Fair, I got excited so I emailed them to Volunteer!. I am going to take my mother in-law with me, as both love this type of thing! It would be a wonderful gift to her to win a free pass. Also I can not wait to visit the Bob Mills booth, I buy a lot of his product’s so that will be a big plus… Have a great Weekend 🙂
