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 – Freakanomics

Tonight The Girl and I are going to watch Freakanomics.  It’s based on the best selling book by the same title.  Basically, an economist attempts to answer what motivates people to make everyday decisions.  He uses statistics to explain life’s most basic mysteries, like crime rates, poverty, etc.

The book got such great reviews, that I thought the movie might be a cool overview.

Tonight The Girl and I are taking a step away from our standard food documentary to check out Gandhi.  The documentary is a biography of Gandhi’s life.  It attempts to re-enact his life, so it watches more like a movie than a documentary.

I remember watching this a long time ago and feeling moved by the man Gandhi was, so I am excited to watch it with my daughter to get her take on it.

Friday Night at the Movies – Killer at Large

Tonight The Girl and I will be watching Killer at Large.  It’s another look at the obesity crisis in America.  I am partly watching it to put to rest any guilt I have had over spending a little more to buy really high quality food for my family, and partly because I love food documentaries, in general.

The documentary is supposed to take a look at the obesity crisis in America, and how the government, schools, and local advocacy groups are either perpetuating or becoming voices of change for the obesity crisis.

Killer at Large is available on Amazon Instant Video for $2.99.

Tonight, The Girl and I will be watching How to Live Forever.  It’s a documentary of one man’s quest to find out how to extend his life.  He interviews several high-functioning centenarians, trying to unlock their secret to a long healthy life.

The whole documentary kind of poses an interesting question:  How long would you want to live, if you could choose?  {Assuming a high quality of life, of course.}
