Minimalism

[Tresbn00]

I have been somewhat of a minimalist since having children choosing, instead, to give my children everything that I could. I have worn the same boots for seven years, jeans for three years, and shirts for five years. I have definitely met the tenets of the 333 project by wearing less than thirty three items for three months. I have done it for five years. This year I have made a resolution to minimalize my food costs. Our state awards four hundred dollars a month in food stamps to those in need which is one hundred dollars per person or three dollars and thirty three cents per day ($1,216/year). My goal is to be under one thousand dollars for the year or $2.73 per day. This month( by close of today) I will have averaged $1.76 per day, spending a grand total of $54.56 this month. This allows me to spend a little more on myself for the celebration of my 24th anniversary next month. I am doing this on my own and paring down my family’s food costs.
