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.

Hello Thursday!

Have you put up your Christmas tree yet?

We gave away our fake tree a few years ago and I’m trying to figure out what to do about a tree this year. Last year we all went to a tree farm and cut one down {and paid a pretty penny for it too}. But The Girl won’t be home this year until right before Christmas so it almost seems like a waste to wait until 2 days before Christmas to go out and buy one and set it up {she has ALWAYS decorated the tree, it’s her thing}.

I noticed The Home Depot has living trees… Or maybe I should just make some sort of tree {although the HH would probably freak out at that}.

Any suggestions?

audible harry potter

I love Audible and even more so now that they just added all the Harry Potter books! Now you can listen to those classics on the go or while you workout, clean, garden, whatever.

Even better? Right now Amazon Prime members can get a 3-month FREE trial for Audible!!!  If Harry Potter is not your thing {and if not, we should have words} they have 150,000 other titles to choose from, so you’d be CRAZY to pass up this freebie. You can listen with the FREE Audible app on your smartphone or tablet.

  1. I go and liberate a small tree from the local pine plantations. 🙂 (Can I call it weeding??)
    Perhaps a bit dodgy but its not uncommon around here!!
    They will be knocked down as rubbish anyway as they just seed and grow among the larger trees that are harvested.
    I don’t like plastic trees and no-one seems to sell ‘real’ ones here that I have seen.
    This probably won’t help you in your decision making process.
    But I will send you a photo of my liberated tree if I am not in gaol.
    😀
    PS I have seen a very cool arty kind of Christmas tree that was a dead branch painted white and decked with lights. Looked amazing.

  2. What about buying a forest permit for $10 and cutting one down in the national forest? Kiddos are old enough to help and it would be a cool experience. On my bucket list, but can’t get any takers to go do it around here. Sigh.

      • We cut a tree from the forest every year and it’s something our kids always look forward to! We take hot chocolate and the sleds and make an afternoon of it.
        It’s so much fun to find the “perfect” tree! Hope that works for you and your family! 🙂

  3. Are there any tree rental companies up near you?
    I have friends who ‘rent’ a live tree every year. It comes in a big pot and as long as you keep it alive until they come to pick it back up you don’t have to pay much.

  5. Our tree is made of construction paper, blue sticky-tacked to the wall, decorated with homemade origami ornaments.
