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 – The Giver

While The Girl was home for Christmas, we decided to watch The Giver.  It’s based on the book, by the same name, which I totally recommend reading before watching the movie.  It is kind of the original Dystopian society {in the same vein as Hunger Games, etc.}.  The book was originally published in ’94, so it’s been a pretty long wait on the movie.  It’s about a boy who starts to question the rules of a supposed Utopian existence.  Corruption, greed…it’s got it all.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.  Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend, ~Mavis

Friday Night at the Movies – An Idiot Abroad

A friend of mine suggested that I check out An Idiot Abroad this Friday–she told me it combined my love of travel with my adoration of dry British wit.  It’s produced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant–both of whom are hilarious.  They send their friend, Karl Pilkington {who has never been out of England} to experience the 7 wonders of the world, only they also add in a couple of “out of his comfort zone” tasks for him to complete.  Should be entertaining.

In light of the New Year, goal setting and all of that, tonight I am going to watch Bridget Jones’s Diary. It’s one of those movies that I can watch over and over, or have on in the background while I futz around the house–it always makes me laugh. If you haven’t seen it, seriously, you really should.  If you have, watch it again.  You’ll find that Hugh Grant is just as witty every single time you watch it.

Friday Night at the Movies – Girl Most Likely

Now that The Girl is home for Christmas break and I have my Friday Night Movie buddy back, I think tonight we will tuck in and watch Girl Most Likely.  It’s about a dysfunctional mother and daughter relationship that is forced to be rekindled after the main character {Kristen Wiig} has a mini breakdown.  First off, I love Kristen Wiig–she has genius comedic timing, and second, I think it should be kind of a light-hearted laugh.  Plus, it’s free for Amazon Prime member.  Wahoo!
