NSEOY Update Oct 08
If you don’t know about it yet, we’re doing a no-spend end of the year experiment. And we had not-so-good news yesterday about how we were doing but today…
Yay! One full day without any money spent… aren’t we great? We’re trying like crazy to compensate for the last few days… Now, tomorrow we’re leaving to [...]
NSEOY - Update.
So, as you all know, we’re doing a No-Spend End of the Year and we were doing quite well with it. We were.
We’ve been bad, ladies and gentlemen. Yes we have. We spent over 17€ on Saturday on food for our Sunday guests. We fed them. Oh, how we fed them! This is what our table [...]
NSEOY (No Spend End of the Year) Update
Well, this is day 5 of our No-Spend End of the Year experiment.
So far, I don’t think we’re doing bad. If you remember, we allowed for 500€ for the 94 days we had left of 2008. That gave us around 5.3€/day, which is 7.3$. During these 5 days, we’ve spent 23.27€, which gives us an [...]
Chicken creamy soup from scratch
Well, I just found this through Frugal Dad and I was in shock. For us, canned anything is a convenience food, but not one that would fit in our new supertight budget.
Instead, we’d rather make our own, super healthy, really low fat version. Here is it:
Chicken Creamy Soup from Scratch
Ingredients
Chicken bones. Once you take off the legs, [...]
Youngsters saving money.
Keeping up with our super frugal 3 month plan is not going to be easy. Not after my cell phone bill (I’ve been in 4 different countries last month), the TV crash, the vaccuum death, the school year starting (I’m on language school for both French and German and Eric and I are getting this [...]

No spend months ahead
As we told you yesterday we want to see how (good or bad) we can manage spending only little money to live until the end of the year. How? Only spending the set amount. As Gràcia is working from home we only need one car. I do only 20 Km (13 miles) a day, so [...]
Saving is hard… is it? We’ve got a challenge.
Well, we all know we’re in difficult times in terms of economy. There’s a bank going broke (that sounds just too funny considering how serious it is) every day.
We’re lucky enough to not have a mortgage to pay, so for us is not so bad. BUT we dream about our future mortgage. The one we’ll [...]
