I am taking a different approach. It doesn't matter which day I spend. My target is NO impulse spending and all spending for non essentials must come out of my $20 per week allowance.

1/6 $8, lunch with BIL
1/7 $3 at Dollar Tree, needed envelopes but didn't need new hot pads or strawberry drinks
1/8 Spent the day at the hospital with my sister and never hit a vending machine

 

[charming23]

Yesterday I worked all day and came straight home. Today will be spendy as I have to run to the store, take my cat Cleo to the vet, and make a Home Depot run. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Unexpected vet bills stink, lol. My cat Cleo (in my pic) had been acting off lately so I had to take her in for a check-up. Thankfully it is just an ear infection but it was not cheap. They also drew blood just in case and to get her pre testing done for a teeth cleaning. I did stop for lunch on the way home and went to the grocery to pick up some special food.
