best idea i've heard in a while!

there's a great site called "offbeat bride" that i discovered while helping my little sister plan her big day.

of course, i love the site and check it regularly...even though d and i are not engaged. but hey, what's the harm in keeping tabs on things in the wedding world?

anyway.

a few months ago, my super fabulous and forward thinking friend shanell proposed to her beau and started her own wedding plans...and of course, because she's a lot like me...she also started reading offbeat bride reguarly. she also started her own spending fast/blog recently!

anyway--she posted this article on facebook about a clever way to save money for a wedding... i totally think this idea could work for ANY sort of saving...i'm going to give it some serious thought, though i think d and i would have to make our own rules. and i think our savings would be just for a little "nest egg," not for a specific purchase.

hmmm...what would our rules be? i don't listen to the radio much, and he only listens to one station. maybe everytime we hear the upstairs neighbors argue? or everytime we spend more than 15 minutes picking something to watch on the netflix instant queue.

let me know if you guys start this saving technique yourselves! i think it could be a fun one...


p.s. i've got an herbed pork loin roast in the crockpot at home! i'll let you guys know how it turned out and i'll post the recipe tomorrow! :)
