1/5 No-buy #2
1/6 spend $90 at grocery stores

1/4- $13.55 Chocolate. $25.59 Grocery Store.
I predicted $0 but I had to go to the Pharmacy to pick up a few prescriptions. It was a very bad idea to send me past the clearance Christmas chocolate.. Then I needed milk and popsicles for dd (who has strep) from the grocery store. I ended up with a few other sale items.

1/5-$0

1/6 -$17 to have one winter tire put on when we discovered our tire was flat this morning. Going to have the rest of them put on tomorrow.

1/7 Couldn't leave the house today due to the weather. Which means another no buy day!

This sounds like fun! I'll play!
We started using YNAB on Nov 1, so I can go back and see what I bought recently. I don't necessarily need to count how many days I didn't spend, although the more the better, but just need to stick within our budget. This accountability will be great!
