Inconceivable!

In an attempt to start saving an uber-amount of money I went through the last six months of bank statements and found where I can cut costs. Beer. Scary, right? So I have come up with an insane idea. One case of beer a month. Twelve cases for the entire year of 2010. Can it be done? I think so. Same thing goes for bottles of booze, but because they are so much more expensive (at least the ones that I buy) than a case of beer I will only buy them on rare occasions. The number of bottles will not exceed six, so one every two months.

As always, there will be exceptions to the rule. I will not use this as an excuse to go crazy and buy several cases just because we have family coming into town. Whenever we have family or friends coming into town, I will go out and buy another case. What kind of host would I be if I didn't supply beers and booze? A horrible one, that's what kind. Another exception to this pseudo-rule is camping or float trips, which we only take once or twice a year. Getting a beer at dinner while eating in a restaurant does not apply to this, but I don't go too crazy when we go out anyways. Some may look at these exceptions as loopholes, but I am not using them as loopholes. I figured I would lay the ground work for future events. I don't want to be the guy that tries something like this only to go back because I don't have any booze for a float trip or no beer in the house when family comes to visit.

In the coming year to keep everybody up on my progress, I will write twelve posts about beer (and some other posts dealing with booze) in the year 2010. So, in the coming months, look for the '2010' tags to the right of the posts and follow my trek in money saving ventures.
