Although I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, I did decide to take Mrs. Frugalwoods’ January über frugal challenge (unofficially, more details on Monday).
And now that I have gotten my discretionary spending back on track (after the move and the holidays), I have decided that February is a good month to get my eating back on track.
So, for the next month, I’m going to avoid eating processed foods. No cookies. No chips. Just fruits, vegetables, meat, beans, and rice. (I’m counting potatoes as a vegetable, but not if they’re processed.)
There’s nothing wrong with a more gradual approach to reducing spending or changing your diet, but I’ve always been most successful using the “all or nothing” technique. I’ll let you know how it goes.
