Some guy who shows up in your hotel suite in nothing but tassels and a hat is not a butler. "Butler" may not mean what you think it means. What kind of hat? If it's the same one Pharrell Williams wore to the Grammy Awards, is it still sexy as long as the rest of him wears just the tassels? It would take weapons-grade tassels to overcome that hat. So, no.

So don't get 90 meals. Even you should be able to make a bowl of cereal, or a pot of oatmeal. Get the personal chef to make dinners. And your $400 a month in groceries isn't everything you spend on food. You'd have to add your eating out money as well. If you have a personal chef making every single meal you don't need to eat out again like ever, so add that however many hundreds it is. You said you guys eat out or get take out almost every night. That's gotta add up to a pretty penny. We spend $400 a month on eating total. Thats groceries and dining out.

Oh, you meant $400 in Doxie math.
Slacker. I found a coupon for a personal chef on my iPhone. We spend $200 a month for all meals and snacks, and that includes the shopping which the chef does. It's awesome.

If there is a technical college with a cooking school near you, this could be another source for hiring a personal chef. They may not be full-fledged graduates yet, but their skills can use a workout, they can use the money and you can pretty easily check their credentials (such as making sure they have their ServSafe Certification, etc.)

Doxie spends "$400" a month on eating total the way I spend "$20" when my wife asks how much I spent at the casino. Maybe I'll go to the casino tonight after I finish working all the way until "5:00".

And your DH must have cut back on all his little trips to the convenience store during work. Though I can't help but wonder if you're really tracking spending in terms of his convenience store purchases, lunches out you might be having, the random trip to McDonalds, etc. If you're now doing that kind of detailed tracking and still only coming out to $300-$400 spent...that would be a big step to getting your budget down.

I believe you. I live in a medium high cost area as well and we only spend $9.43 per day to feed us all. I could cut it down some but we love sushi, and I only get our meat at real butcher shops.

I once had a Butler. But I ended up firing him. I came home late one night and found him in the living room. Since he was still there I approached him and requested that he remove my dress, so the butler removed my dress. Then I asked him to remove my bra, which he did. Then I asked him to remove my panties. After he did that I told him to never dress in my clothes again.

Food is either groceries which is anything bought at the grocery store, and dining out is restaurants, carryout and anything bought in convenience stores. I keep a tally of each purchase on my budget spreadsheet but I dont keep tally of the details of what we bought. We have been coming in at $400 or less consistently for a year.

I vote for buying your husband a tux and telling him that you think it's sexy when he opens doors for you. I don't want a taxed butler. I am envisioning one in suite with tassels and hat. I wanted to show you the picture and I had typed it into google and LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! www.google.com/search?q=butler&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=FPXrUpq9Lu2MyAGci4H4Ag&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=673...and I will cook for him and my husband will open doors etc. whatever he wants... -drool-I think... I think this is the first loony thread I've replied to, but damn, I'll split the butler with you! I'm looking more for him to make "deposits' for procreation Hours are flexible, he just has to be available certain days of the month.

You NOT ALLOWED To EAT OUT!!!!!

Hon, next time hire butler that is not your size...get a huge dude with lil balls and you will NEVER see him in your bra! Hide your flowery shower cap and you will be...forever buddies! pssss...do you really have butler boobs?

It's awesome. Don't forget her son doesn't eat and they split one meal at Chik-fil-a 3 ways and use a coupon. Also don't forget the $400 doesn't include food stamps or WIC or whatever assistance she's getting from the state of Maryland.

We ate at Chick fil a last night for $8. All four of us, because we use coupons. We do get wic, which is like $40 a month. Not really much, so we get $440 in food a month. However we do not get food stamps.
