In this uncertain economy, you might be asking yourself, what can you cut out of your budget? You might not know, until you try. So, we put this challenge to our money-wise Sunrise meteorologist Jeff Booth. We wondered if it was reasonable - or even possible - for a family of four to survive on $200 per week.

Tonight on KGMB9 News at 10pm, Jeff shows us how he made it work... not without a little bit of pain.
