I have three grand children, and told them they will divy up the bucket when I'm done collecting. Also, there are many times when I do look in my frig and pantry to see what I have, and challenge myself to make dinner out of what's available. It's a great way to get rid of things that may be getting close to their expiration date, and it saves money. Plus, I LOVE to cook, so the creativity involved is a blast. I hardly ever make the same recipe twice. I haven't had a newspaper in 16 years, which saves money. I watch the news 2x each day...instead. I only have basic cable for $15/month, and have no call waiting, call forwarding, or caller ID on my phone. I have only one charge card (with a $58,000 limit!) but only charge in one month what I will immediately pay off...so I've paid absolutely no interest for the past 16 years. I go to a $5 show on occasion with my $5 savers card at the local theater. The only lights on in my house at night are in the room in which I am at the time. I no longer have a home computer. When it crashed several months ago, I decided not to replace it, saving me that monthly fee. The list goes on and on...and yes, you're right Lisa...I do think of it as a game! I have fun doing it, love the challenge, and love the savings, even more.
