June NO BUY thread???

[snarlingcoyote]

1st - 0
2nd - dinner out on my birthday $30, groceries $58 (how that happened I will never know, usually it's twice that.)
3rd - $27 - CVS run for necessary personal items
4th - $26 (Bought a dress for work with some money I was given for my birthday. . .)
5th - $9.49 - I broke down and bought the Ghost Brothers of Darkland County MP3. . .
6th - $35 for Gas $68 Sam's Club, including $15 for some shorts I probably didn't need and could've bought at the thrift for less than $5.
7th - $35 Monthly charitable donation to Restavek Freedom. $31 Thrift store (went in search of shorts, came out with 2 pairs of work pants, a brand new parka etc. . .but no shorts) $15 DH lunch out
8th - $30 lunch out w/DH
9th - $101 at Walmart, $25 DH entry for fishing tourny $117 concrete interlocking borders.
10th - $0
11th - $195 Hair permed, brows waxed, plus tip. $55 Sam's Club, another pair of those darn shorts ($10 this time), 2 new hydration packs (bought 'em before they ran out - ncessary for that "free" activity of hiking in the summer in Louisiana. Had to buy one new one (for DH), and now I have one for guests so I don't have to be kind and give them half of MY water! )
12th - $40 gas $4 for a book on the mass hanging at Gainesville.
13th - 0
14th - (projected) $35 dinner out/$25 GC for DB birthday present
15th - (projected) ?? Mulch for flower beds, $35 dinner out (required for a charity thingy)

BTW, thank ya'll for this monthly thread. My spending is wayyyyy down from where it normally is. My only big purchase has been a perm, which is pretty good for me, and the perm will last for months and months! I'm going to try for 2 no buy days next week.

[annsteere]

So far:

I've spent $57/$120 grocery budget, and $52.50/$50 for treats - argh! I'm over on my treats allowance already and it's only the 12th I really need to cut out the junk food and eating out.

Being over on treats half way through the month is not a good sign.

But, I can hardly imagine how anybody could hit a grocery target of only $120 for a whole month. I think you must be doing something VERY right
