Well on Day 1 we got ice cream and on Day 2 we got lunch. Day 3 was groceries and yogurt after school BUT Day 4 is looking like my first NO BUY day of 2012!

I dont plan to leave the house today until I go to my daughter's school. Her Talented Theater class is having a new years party/parent day this afternoon and I am bringing some cookies that I got yesterday at the store....... After school, I plan to come straight home so no money spent today!!

So far...So good. Still haven't been in a store.

Here is my goal for January:
Family of 3 with 1 dog. And several drop ins at any given time.

Groceries/household- $200/Left (eating out of the freezer this month) But, still need to stock up on a few things like soups. We went thru so much during the freak storm in Oct. Lost power for 11 days.
Car/Gas- $200/Left
Eating Out- $150/Left (forgot DSIS B'day dinner)
Entertainment/Misc- $200/Left(raised due to DD's 2 plays and 2 B'days

Goal of 3/15 No Buy Days

01/01-0-
01/02-0- Calling it now. Brought my breakfast and lunch to work today. Not stopping for breakfast on my way to work 3 mornings is going to be a big deal for me. And going right home from work.[/QUOTE]

Some impulse buys today while shopping, but hope to do better next week with that. I bought 6 pairs of knit gloves for $4 on clearance. These are for keeping the kids hands warm, but they are not used for snow. They lose those so quickly, I always pick up extras when they are clearanced.

I may return one of my impulse buys because it doesn't work properly.

[QVCshopper]

Another no-buy day for me. This is easy to fall back into...

 

[weluvdizne]

1-1 $0
1-2 $0

total $0 days = 3

1/5 dinner with girlfriend - planned before I decided to join January no buy but it will be inexpensive and it is budgeted
1/6 $0 fingers crossed
1/7 $0 fingers crossed

 

[Laurawill]

Progress so far.
2/10 no spending
0/10 less than $10

Jan 1 $0
Jan 2 $20 ($3 for husband's BP meds, 14 for groceries, and 3 for goggles so I can swim at the gym my husband's work gave us a membership to for Christmas)
Jan 3 $9 on DH lunch out. And that was a nice thought... I tried to tell DH it would be fun to see how many days we could go without buying anything... He said he would do it to save $$ but it won't be fun. Anyhow, he requested I pick up some lunchmeat from the grocery store so he could make his lunch, I got that plus milk and some chicken I needed and took our total spending for the day up to $30...
Jan 4 It is 1:45 and I think it will be a no spend day for us. DH is using a living social coupon he got for Christmas for lunch (which only makes me slightly upset that he made me go to the store last night for lunch meat) and dinner is already planned and we have all the ingredients on hand.

What good luck for you!

QVCShopper, you will post adorable baby pictures when the time comes right? I'm a sucker for babies and promise to ooh and ahh over them!

I managed another no buy, but I know tomorrow won't be. Like someone who posted earlier (sorry, I forgot who!), we're having soup in bread bowls tomorrow night for dinner and have to buy the bread bowls.
