My final results --- JUST made my goal - 15 no buy days. Almost not, but thanks to a Target gift card I made it
Can't wait to do it again next month!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
1:NO BUY #1
2: $3 milkshake at McD's for son, who got his braces tightened
3:NO BUY #2 - Almost went to store to get chicken for dinner, but made myself just make something with food we already had. I also almost bought some stuff on Zulily ... they have the cutest Disney stuff on sale! Somehow, I was able to just say no.
4: New towels, 2 tshirts (BOGO for 1 cent, but somehow my two cost lest than the $20 I was expecting. I got 2 for $17 - one Harry Potter & one Minnie. Yay me), & dinner from Aldi. It had to be done.
5: Son's birthday. Took him to movie (matinee = $17, no snacks) & dinner (we both got free burgers for birthday month, bought soda & shake for dessert. With tip = $16).
6: NO BUY #3 - not even leaving the house today.
7: Going to the State Fair today so definitely NOT a no buy day. It's an anti-no buy day lol. It's also my birthday so Im going to eat what I want & drink what I want & buy what I want. Cheese curds & food on a stick, here I come!!!
8: NO BUY #4 - Home sick. And no, not from the fair food lol. Achy body ... sore throat ... ughhhhh...9. but at least I couldn't buy anything!
9: NO BUY #5 - A few groceries after work, nothing else.
10: Haircut $40
11: Stopped at store for dinner. Doesn't count as grocery shopping as I didn't NEED anything, I am just too lazy today to make dinner. $25.63
12: NO BUY #6
13: NO BUY #7 - spending the day at my mom's. Cheap entertainment
14: NO BUY #8 - staying home & cleaning & doing laundry. Yuck.
15: Printer ink $12.97. Guess I print a lot of coupons lol
16: $11.37 at Goodwill - bought 3 items to list on Ebay
17: Gobs spent. School registration for both kids. Thank goodness I have boys, they don't care about clothes or shoes so no money spent there. But I probably spend twice as much in lunch fees as parents with girls LOL
18: $12.42 at Michael's. One word. Clearance.
19: Took the day off to spend with my boys. Well, the older one spent the day with his girlfriend. #kidsqualitydayfail ... anyway, I took my younger one to see a movie (matinee), get his haircut (on sale) & shop for school supplies (at Target, all paid for with a gift card). My hubby is working tomorrow, YAY! First overtime in 6 months!
20: Well, this was definitely NOT a no spend day. In fact, it was an anti-no spend day! Went to Charming Charlie because I got a $5 off coupon for my birthday - mistake!! 40% off ALL jewelry! Yikes. Then I went to Hobby Lobby. Double yikes! Suffice it to say, I am NOT leaving the house tomorrow. I can't afford to!
21: NO BUY #9 - I stayed home as promised
22: NO BUY #10 - groceries only.
23: NO BUY #11 - emissions test after work. Free. And my car passed
24: Target. Nuff said.
25: NO BUY #12 - went to Kohl's & I did buy some things. Some pretty things. BUT I had my $10 birthday card from them, my $5 points thing AND a $25 gift card from SB. I left there not only paying NOTHING, but having $4 left on my gift card. Did I mention I bought pretty things?
26: Went to Ulta. Plus side, I got a free Urban Decay eye shadow for my birthday. Down side, of COURSE I had to buy other stuff. I mean .... ULTA!!!
27: NO BUY #13 - not leaving the house today - laundry & cleaning. Bleah.
28: NO BUY #14 - Groceries only

30: Walmart. Unnecessary items. Sigh.
31: NO BUY #15 - bought a new planner at Target but my gift card covered it
