February No Buy ~ 2014

[QVCshopper]

This weekend, I bought my big kids each an outfit for next winter. I have to balance my no-buy days with the need to get them clothing when it's on sale. Yesterday, I got my son a pair of jeans and a long-sleeve shirt for $10 at Gymboree.

Well this month I went over on grocery, eating out, and gas budget! I haven't spent money on anything else so that is good but the items I wanted to save on I did not do so well. Good thing March is next week.

Those are hard areas to save on. Hope you have a great March!
