Saving 1K

Over at iwillteachyoutoberich.com, Ramit Sethi has proposed the save $1,000 in 30 days challenge. In reading about it I sometimes tend to shy away from doing the work until I can erase whatever tape is running in my head. My first post was received today which was start taking lunch. I do this regularly so I'm okay there. I know I'll run into a problem w/my Altoid usage, but more on that later.
