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 – Boyhood

I’ve been hearing a lot about the movie Boyhood lately.  It’s claim to fame is that they filmed it over several years–usually the same childhood actor.  While it is a fictional story, using the same actor, it is supposed to be a really touching “coming of age” type movie.  It’s available for pre-order on Amazon right now {which is still cheaper than me and the HH going to the theater}, so I am thinking about checking it out.

Anyone seen yet?  Is it worth watching?

Friday Night at the Movies – Pretty in Pink

Ok, so now that I’ve watched Sixteen Candles, I’m on a Molly Ringwald AND John Hughes obsession…which is lucky for me, because she is in a lot of his movies.  Tonight I’m watching Pretty in Pink.  I watched it last year for the first time in ages, and now I can’t get enough.  It’s my favorite way to relive those awkward 80’s memories:  in my pj’s and a million years actually being in the decade again :).

Sidenote:  There can’t be a single person out there who can’t immediately sing OMD’s “If You Leave,” all because of this movie.   Try not to sing it right now, I dare you.

Friday Night at the Movies – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

My 80’s revival is still going strong.  Tonight we are going to watch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on the laptop since our t.v. has been packed up.  Maybe with The Girl off to college I am trying to recapture the light-heartedness of my youth?  Or maybe I just think this movie is awesome.  Either way, it’s free on Prime and I’m watching it.

Remember how COOL Mathew Broderick was?  I think we were all pretty much in love with Ferris, wouldn’t you say? 😉

Friday Night at the Movies – Sixteen Candles

I’m still truckin’ along on my John Hughes kick.  Tonight, I’m planning on watching Sixteen Candles.  I like to re-watch it every few years because…well, it’s awesome.  If you haven’t seen it {you’ve been living under a rock, and it’s time to come out…kidding}, it’s about a girl whose family forgets her 16th birthday.  It’s “what’s happenin’ hot-stuff,” so you should totally check it out :).

Have you have already seen it?  Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?
