October No Buy!!

Hmmm...not sure what to aim for. I think I'll aim low at 15 days and hope I can go higher than that.

October
1-NO SPEND #1
2-Spend--groceries and halloween decorations
3-NO SPEND #2
4-NO SPEND #3
5-spend--walked up to the grocery store for hot dog buns and tortillas
6-NO SPEND #4 (it was a close one though...DH teasingly brought up getting chinese takeout and I wavered for a good half hour before staying strong and saying NO firmly)

October 6: Worked both jobs, NO BUY #5
October 7: Worked day job and did a health fair for my second job with no stops in between or after.... NO BUY #6
October 8: Working today and then home (begging off of job #2 tonight). NO BUY #7 (unless something changes before midnight!)

Currently at 7/12.

Doing well, but the long holiday weekend and the need for groceries and some stuff for my trip will definitely mean I will have at least one BUY day over the weekend!.........P
