But a 7 hour flight is long. That is like flying from Chicago to London. If it was me, I would totally do it too.

If it is a vacation, I have budgeted out food and souvenir costs ahead of time. If I do go over my budgeted spending for the vacation, then I would count that towards a "spend" because it was not preplanned.

That's a good idea. I will have to think it through. . .I am not a good vacation budgeter. What I generally do is just know how much I tend to spend on vacations. I pull money spent out of my vacation account to cover all the bills when I am through vacationing and adjust savings for the next vacation. It would be nice to spend a bit less though. I know I will want t-shirts from Acadia for me and for the husband. I'm going to put the kibosh on random cutesy things unless I can wear/use them right then and right there though - too much of that goes into the Goodwill or gifting pile eventually.

SnarlingCoyote woo hoo for the bump to first class!! Free bags, more comfortable, food!! Win - win - win!!!!!!
As for vacation, I say don't worry about it!!! Vacations are special events!!!
So excited!! Got the 7 in 1 Instant Pot on a flash deal for $69.99. I bought the 6 in 1 for $99 a few days ago, so I'm going to return that and get the better machine, cheaper!!!!
So is this a spend day, since I'm returning the more expensive pot lol?

Ok! I am calling it. And given that it was Prime Day, I feel like I came out mostly unscathed. I bought a $50 Amazon gift card and will get a $10 account credit. This will pay for a planned expense for next month, so I view this as getting a discount on that future item. I also bought a bike lock and bike bag for DH, something we had been keeping our eye out for a good deal. And finally, I got a wifi plug so that we can use the Amazon Echo to turn our bedroom lights on and off without having to turn the switch. The switch on one of the lamps has already died and we have to fix it, so this will help keep it nice after we repair it. All in all, I think I did alright. Nothing outlandish or frivolous, I think.

7- No buy #6
8- Well I took meat out of the freezer, but than I bought an instant pot, as our rice cooker died, (it was $10 7 years ago at a black Friday sale, as well as the crock of my crock pot getting broken in our move, so this one pressure, slow, rice, Brown's and sautees!
9- I am amazed! I went grocery shopping and got crickets, cricket food, ear cleaner for our Wolfie,, groceries and nothing else!!!! All necessities!! I love my grandmunchkins, but it was much easier to get a no buy day alone, lol. No buy #7!!
10- Yay, stayed home and enjoyed looking at instant pot recipes, so no buy #8!!
11- No buy #9! But the r especially two things I'm hoping to find discounted for Prime Day!!!!!

7- No buy #6
8- Well I took meat out of the freezer, but than I bought an instant pot, as our rice cooker died, (it was $10 7 years ago at a black Friday sale, as well as the crock of my crock pot getting broken in our move, so this one pressure, slow, rice, Brown's and sautees!
9- I am amazed! I went grocery shopping and got crickets, cricket food, ear cleaner for our Wolfie,, groceries and nothing else!!!! All necessities!! I love my grandmunchkins, but it was much easier to get a no buy day alone, lol. No buy #7!!
10- Yay, stayed home and enjoyed looking at instant pot recipes, so no buy #8!!
11- No buy #9! But the r especially two things I'm hoping to find discounted for Prime Day!!!!!
12- Bought my new IP, but returning the one to Wal Mart that was $30 more and wanted to buy a lot more things, but didn't. I won't claim a no buy, as I did spend money though.
13- Yay, my instant pot came today, a day early!!!! Stayed home today so no buy #10!!
14- No buy #11 and I cooked a roast in my IP and it turned out wonderful!!!! Tomorrow and Saturday May not be no buy days, but I will be returning my more expensive IP to Wal Mart so will use that money on Friday. So that may actually turn out to be a no spend day, since I already counted that money!
