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.

Friday Night at the Movies – Valentine’s Day

We don’t do a ton around here on Valentine’s Day.  It’s kind of one of those commercial holidays that I don’t get behind so much {except for the chocolate–I can totally support that}.  BUT, in the name of a light-hearted movie, I thought I would check out Valentine’s Day tonight.  I never watched it when it came out a couple of years ago, and since Valentine’s Day falls on my ritual Friday Night Movie, it seems appropriate.

Valentine’s Day is a romantic comedy that boasts a star-studded cast.  Hopefully, at the very least, it will be worth a few chuckles.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

A big thanks to Rubi who let me know that Bletchley Circle, season 2, is now available on Amazon Instant Video and Netflix.  For those of you who are not familiar, I started watching season 1 around this time last year, and completely loved it!  I am so excited to curl up in my jammies on the couch and watch the new season.

Friday Night at the Movies – Edward Scissorhands

One Hundred Dollar a Month reader, Brenda, sent me this suggestion awhile back:

“Trim your bushes on Saturday and that’s only after Friday Night at the Movies. That weeks selection needs to be “Edward Scissorhands”. There is no telling what creative design you will come up with!! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. Haha. But thank you for inspiring us all inside and outside our homes.”

If you haven’t seen it, it’s about a boy, who is created by a scientist and given scissors for hands. When the scientist dies, an Avon representative {you can’t make this stuff up} decides to bring him home to suburbia to live with her and her quirky family.

I haven’t watched the movie in ages, and thought I would pass along her suggestion.  Thanks Brenda!

Friday Night at the Movies – Living on One Dollar and Salam Neighbor

Recently, I stumbled on a small non-profit film production company that documented living on $1.00 a day  in rural Guatemala for 8 weeks.  I watched the first documentary Living on One Dollar {available on Netflix} just last weekend and thought it was an amazing {and heartbreaking} look into the lives of extreme poverty. to date, the documentary has raised more than $90,000 to alleviate poverty.

Now, these college buddies are filming Salam Neighbor {right now, as I type this}. It will document the EXTREME poverty and living conditions in Syria.  This time, they are living for one month along side Syrian refugees.   They are posting on social media sites regularly as they film, like Facebook and Instagram, if you are interested in following along until the documentary is available.

I thought the first film was super interesting, and I expect Salam will be as well.
