I had a tooth pulled today, and it was $98. It's not a normal expense, so I'll have to count this as a buy day. Bummer.

Virgderon, I hope you heal quickly!

I seem to be getting it back together! I must admit, the thought of getting a no buy kept me from picking up dinner on the way home tonight!

A very spendy end to a spendy week. We are expecting a ton of snow over the next three days so I went out ad did my grocery shopping today instead of waiting for later in the weekend. I did get enough stuff for two weeks so hopefully I will be seeing a lot of $0 days soon.

Drove straight to work with no stops and drove straight home. I'm getting pretty good at this!

 

[pigletto]

Unexpected expense.
Cat chewed through the cord for my Macbook Pro.

I love the cat. But I don't like him very much right this moment. Just ordered another one for 80 dollars. Fuming and had to come complain about it somewhere. It's my own stupid fault for leaving it on the ground.

No fun pigletto! They're so expensive, too! Wouldn't it be great if all Apple products used the same type of charging cord? (says the owner/authorized user of an embarrassing number of them...)

Dinner was out tonight, but we had planned it due to a difficult soccer schedule. Tomorrow's Target trip will be an interesting challenge -- can I get out of there without buying any non consumables? I'd skip it, but we need a present for a birthday party and I need some storage bins for my classroom that are on sale this week as well as some consumables like wax paper and cleaning things.

1/13: dinner out

no buys: 5/10
dinners out: 2/4
non consumables purchased: 4/0

 

[tikilyn]

Ugh, I think I'm going to start over. The first two weeks have been killer for us. Too many unexpected things came up. So tomorrow will be day one for me. My goal is to have 10 no spend days for the rest of the month and to save 100.00 cash from my paycheck. I work part time for blow money and I really like to blow all of it. LOL

 

[wishesuponastar]

I have a question. Do I just keep track of my spending and not DH's??

You can do whatever you want, you make the rules
