tentative spending freeze

from 2/2-2/8 I am planning on a spending Freeze. I am going to take out $20 in cash and that will be what I have to spend for that week. I know I can do it. I need a little bit of money for milk but I will not buy anything that week. The plan is to only buy what is necessary, which is milk, bread and bananas. I was thinking that I could just buy that for the week on 2/1 but I will take the $20 out anyway just in case. I will still be paying bills but I will not buy any other items that week. The plan is to:

use up stuff we have here
plan meals around what we have in the house
send as much as I can to get my car paid off
try to do this weekly but with more money obviously.

I am going to rethink a lot of things we are doing currently because I really need to buckle down and get some money in savings and get my car paid off. The job prospects in this area are not looking good at all and I want to set us up better in case R's layoff goes from temporary to permanent.

More info to come.
