18/20 No Buy Days So Far

Not the same as No Buy, but I haven't ordered out food since 12/31, which is quite awhile for me. If I can make it an entire month, that's a pretty big savings over a normal month.

23/31 Days No Eating Out

17/22 No Buy Days Achieved

Not going to make it! Best I can hope for is 19/22 (which I should be able to achieve) but I have stayed on budget...which is the most important thing. I actually had money left over in a couple of areas (payday was today) which was unprecedented. I will try again next month!!
