I gave up three days worth of food for a girl today — and not just any girl, but my former high school love. If you have ever faced the situation where you were going to meet an old high school flame that you haven’t seen in years, you already know exactly what I was…

I can tell as this challenge goes on, I am getting lazy with the couponing. The good news is that I am able to do so because I have been able to stay well below the $1 a day goal. Some might think that this is bad and I should be focusing on getting better…
