Let The Challenge Begin

As with many in our current economy I have attempted to cut costs in many ways in an effort to stretch our family funds.  It seems that the more I look the more ways there are to save which led me to ask myself, "Could I refuse to buy anything at full retail price for an entire month?"  

I mentioned this to a friend who encouraged me to share the experience by blogging.  Blogging could prove to be its own challenge as I have not done so before.  

The second person I decided to ask about this challenge was my husband.  His lack of real response leads me to believe that he is not fully on board with this idea and is most likely questioning my sanity.  However, not to be deterred I am embarking today on the full price challenge, at least the purchases that are within my control.   The challenge is to buy nothing at full retail price over the course of the next month.  It should prove interesting.  I look forward to recording the adventure.
