Really need to join halfway through! Not really counting no buy days, just need to keep the unnecessary spending in check. It's true what they say - make more money spend more money. I think I need to go back to only working one day a month

So starting this as of today

16 - groceries, no impulse buys

mrsabbott · Apr 16, 2015

Today was another no spend day for me. Hubs had to buy some sort of trailer switch thingy to get the tow lights to work.

Updated my post on page one and up to 13/20 for my no-buy days!! I'll probably have a no-buy tomorrow, but we are going to Costco Saturday after DS's track meet down there and I definitely do NOT think that Saturday will end up as a no-buy!....................P

Not doing well. This weekend is the bachelors/bachelorette for my brothers wedding so lots of spending

1 - spend, bought groceries for beach house and then bought an entire new ballet outfit for dd11 including shoes. Not strict strictly necessary but we do not have a ballet shop near our town.
2 - spend, groceries to take to brother in laws house
3 - groceries
4 - ice creams on the beach
5 - no buy #1
6 - spend
7 - went shopping with my mom and succumbed to a dress on sale at my favourite stores. And we went out for quite an expensive lunch.
8 - spend. But I only bought a loaf of home baked bread for our lunch So don't feel too bad.
9 - No Buy #2
10 - Spend, bought baby gifts for my niece who was born today!! My brother-in-law had to deliver her in his car as they never made it to hospital. They live on a farm 45 min away from the hospital. So exciting! Luckily baby and mom are doing very well.
11 - Spend. Drove almost 3 hours to visit with the new baby. So grateful we were still on holiday so were within driving distance so we could meet our niece.
12 - Spend, but only purchased bread and milk which I was quite proud of as we were on our road trip home. I made sandwiches with leftovers and we used the leftover drinks and snacks from the vacation. So still a victory for me
13 - Spend (groceries)
14 - No Buy #3
15 - Spend (but just some basic groceries)
16 - Don't even want to add up what I spent today :sad:

gifts and supplies for the bachelor/bachelorette parties. I also bought some fabric to sew a Jedi robe for a fancy dress party for ds8 and his best friend. They turned out great. Was a fun project
17 - Spend (calling it now, we are going out to dinner tonight)

9/25 No Buy Days

pjlla · Apr 17, 2015

Well.... so much for a "no buy" day today. We woke up with no electricity. I was able to have yogurt for breakfast and went to work a little early to brew myself a cup of coffee.... but DS wasn't up for a peanut butter sandwich for breakfast and asked for a few $$ to buy breakfast at school. He asks for VERY little and it felt mean to say no.... so I said yes. I will take it out of my $50 "fun" money for the month, since I would consider it "take-out" food. Would have been a no buy otherwise! Oh well...................P

Yesterday ended up being a bigger spend day then anticipated. DD had a birthday party to go to, so we had to get a gift. Hubs got a new job so we ordered pizza to celebrate.
Today will be a spend day also. Invited to a party to watch the Thunder Over Louisville show. Stopping to pick up a cake for dessert and I will have to pay for parking downtown.
