Like many people my wife and I watch the horizon not knowing what the future holds. Thankful for the blessings we have, but knowing that trials can and do come, we're embarking on a 365 day experiment in good living for less.
Our plan is to feed our family for an average of £6.57 or less, every day, for one year.
Why? I hear you ask! Well, the answer is simple, but hard news for some people. While we could live on more, we have another experiment, to save as much as possible in the same time period. I am changing jobs, an in the current economic situation I can't possibly tell what my employment situation will be a year from now. If my employer has to shrink, and I get let go, we want there to be a financial buffer that will give time to find more work. Staying out of debt as much as possible is obvious to most people, but we also want to stay as far away from the edge as we can.
This is an exciting adventure! I am convinced it can be done, and we can have good living on hearty, tasty, nourishing food, for a lot less than we have done in the past.
Want to join us? Keep watching this space :-)
