Reimer Challenge - Results

Well, the results from the Reimer Family Challenge for April are in. Total savings by cutting our eating out: $133.72 for the month of April.

That's really not bad and we did eat out just a few times during the month. It's not as much as I would have expected but still not an insignificant sum. Of course, I'm sure there are other ways to save on our grocery bills as well but I haven't really found them yet. Typically, there are no coupons for the things we purchase. But, whenever possible, I will try to use coupons for things like shampoos, pharmacy items, etc..

So, it was a successful challenge! The May challenge will simply be trying to stay within our monthly budget! We'll see how that goes!

If anyone has any creative ideas of how to earn extra cash towards our debt retirement, I would love to hear it!!

Shalom Out!
