Bob's Sandwich Challenge and the Worker Strike

As I mentioned in today's earlier post, my household is on a bit of a trimmed budget lately, making things like eating out, buying dresses, inexplicable trips to Funspot, etc sadly not possible (at least for the month of November).  It's not a totally bad thing to cut back - we are having a ridiculously good time trying to game Shaws for all their worth coupon-wise - but it does mean there's going to be a pause in the Bob's Sandwich Challenge.  Let's call it a Worker's Strike where the workers are the cash money that we don't currently have.

We're hoping that December will see the return of giant, saucy, Italian subs (at least on a monthly basis!) but have no fear - the bracket may be paused but it is far from canceled. 

DIY to the Max!

For those of you who are unaware, Nate recently got a shiny new job (he keeps threatening to guest post about it but... ) which is fantastic in that it's given him a way to explore a new career path - one that will hopefully provide him with a lot more growth, challenge, and enjoyment than his last one (no judgement).

Another bonus of his new job is that it's giving us a chance to really work on our budgeting skills since it's a bit of a pay cut (check out that spinning!). Not totally unexpected given the change in focus that comes with this job but I'm warning you - I foresee lots of DIY, 'X' on a budget, and similar posts in the future.

And hey, maybe even a guest post from the man himself. ;)
