Second Quarter Goal Setting

March 20th, 2007 at 07:57 pm

When I started the $20 challenge, I set the first quarter goals at two times the $20, and I thought I might try to double the initial amount each quarter. My current total is $65.35, which isn't far from $80 but is probably too much to continue to double each quarter, so I will set my goal for $80 over whatever the total is on March 31.

Using What's On Hand

I like to use things I already have for new purposes if I can. When I planted chives inside, I had only one real pot that would fit on my windowsill, so I improvised. As you can see, the chives in the improvised containers are growing, but the ones in the real pot are not. Sometimes the frugal alternatives are better than store-bought things.
