June No Buy

[YukiPhnx]

No witty title for this month because I can't think of any right now...Oh wells, subscribe and I'll come up with a better title later.

I wasn't able to reach my No buy goal last month but I'm sure I'll do a lot better this month! I also ate out more than I wanted to last month so let's get that number down!

I'm sticking to my budget of $40/3 days.

No buy: 0/10
Clothes: 0/5
Make-up: 0/3
Eating out: 0/5
Entertainment: 0/5

1. $12.85- Some snacks for my brother whose birthday is today!

Hey Yuki - I'm back for more too! I was thinking about starting the thread earlier today, but I couldn't think of a cute title either so I kept putting it off

Once again, I'm only tracking my fast food/restaurant/vending machine/other non-regular grocery shopping food purchases since that's the biggest black hole in my spending:

6/1/12 - $0 It was a hard day for some reason, but I resisted all vending machine and fast food temptations!

*I get $100 a week for food/personal/household items- anything I have at the end of the week gets put into the Disney / Baby #2 fund ( I'll also be keeping track of this)

*Also, any money I personally spend on clothes/books/misc/gas that comes from my account

6/1/12 - $0 - actually added $10 to the Disney fund from winning at the casino Hey, every little bit helps + received the $100 statement credit for signing up with Visa Disney took $49 and paid for the annual fee so I made $51 by just signing up. $61 added to Disney Fund

Welcome back to the previous posters and welcome to the new ones!

LSU, great to hear about adding to that Disney fund! I need to figure out how much I saved from last month to put in my Disney fund.

Hey MomToOne, good for you to resisting! Today already started out as a spending day. I got called in for some overtime work today so I bought an iced coffee to brighten my day. I'll update today later. It IS the weekend after all...

 

[starbound25]

I'm in! I'm going to give myself a budget of $40 in "free spending" for the month since I will be getting $40 for a small work project I'm doing for my sister. Otherwise I'm going to really try NO extra spending. And if I don't end up spending the $40 even better!

6/1/12- $0
6/2/12 -$0
6/3/12 -$0
6/4/12 -$0 *bought a textbook that I already had! Contacted the company and I can return it for full refund so that $70 will go right into my Disney account!!
6/5/12 -$0 went to rite aid to buy a lipstick luckily they were out of what I wanted!
6/6/12 -$0
6/7/12 -$0 *cleaned out an old purse to find change for our change jar and found $7 whoo hoo into the jar it went!
6/8/12 -$0
6/9/12 -$0
6/10/12 -$3 at $1 store buying ponchos for our WDW trip
6/11/12 -$13 on two new lipsticks, I caved haha but I did sell something on ebay for $20 so I felt it was ok :lol:
6/12/12 -$0
6/13/12 -$0
6/14/12 -$0

Yeah, I always put how much I spent but I wanted one place to keep track of how much I keep adding to the Disney fund.

I am in for June. My June budget goes from 5/31 - 6/29.

June 2012 5/31-/6/29


5/31- $5.45 Giant Eagle, $11.65 Walgreens, $12.46 Penn Station Subs, and $19.26 Sunoco
6/1- $120.17 Walmart (groceries), $10.50 Jennies Popcorn, and $15.30 CVS
6/2- $0



1/15 No Spend Days

(I'm only tracking my fast food/restaurant/vending machine/other non-regular grocery shopping food purchases since that's the biggest black hole in my spending.)

6/1/12 - $0
6/2/12 - $0 An old friend came into town and is spending the night with her son at our house but instead of going out to dinner, I convinced her to make pizzas here at the house (from ingredients I had on hand) We had a great time, helped by the bottle of wine she brought - plus some from a second bottle I had on hand - and she bought ice cream at the neighborhood ice cream shop for us all to repay me for making dinner. So I ended up with a $0 day when I really expected to spend $30+ on dinner out!

That's great! A bunch of our friends do that too...We try to get together once a month with every ones schedule, every month its different someone will bring the wine, someone will bring appetizers, ect. and we rotate...great way to save money and plus we get to hang out more.

I just blew my budget for the next couple of days....I bought a little too much stuff yesterday. I bought a coffee grinder that I've been wanting, some hot cocoa for my Keurig and a few items from The Body Shop that needed replenishing.

So it looks like the next few days will be $0 to right the wrong!

No buy: 1/10
Clothes: 0/5
