[MickeyMomOfThree]

I made this as a New Year's Resolution so after this month I will be half way to doing a whole year resolution and while this is the best I have ever done at one, I am excited to think I might do one for the whole year! That would be something! My goal is to surpass my normal goal of 15 No Spend Days.

June 1-
$4.50 Kids bought lunch (We got in too late from vacation to grocery shop)
$1.08 Redbox
$20.00 Gas
$114.94 Groceries
$5 DD11's end of year class trip
June 2-$0
June 3-$0 Took the kids to 2 Walgreen's for Silly Bandz but that is all we got and they used their own money.
June 4- Was a $0 day till hubby came home with "free" baseball game tickets. I debated, but it was a beautiful night and free glove night for kids and the girls had friends going so we went. There went the $0 day. We spent just under $30on dinner and parking. I am quoting Suze Orman right now, "People first, then money, then things." It was a nice family evening out so worth losing the day.
June 5- Taco Bell-$14.59 Michael’s (Scout stuff, Father’s Day gifts and frames) $45.76, $15.63 Dairy Queen with GS troop, $17 (added DD8 to the sleepover, her troop hates sleepover so I will probably never get here there otherwise so her sister invited her) $4 sleepover patches, $10 ornament (I like to collect these when we go places)
June 6- $7.81 McD’s breakfast on the way home, Sam’s (groceries, gifts, clothes, shampoo, 5 bottles of sunscreen, etc) $191.99 (I’ll say the $91.99 was groceries, roughly,) Snack at Sam’s $3.43 Wegman’s groceries $154.68 (that is what I get for bringing DH) Amazon order (right around) $30, 2 CDs for DH for Father’s Day and some Disney Silly Bandz
June 7-$0 Technically I won $7 in Silly Bandz off eBay, but the kids are paying for them so my OOP was $0
June 8-$0 Spent the day cooking and filling my naked freezer. I froze about 15 dinners so far and more are in the crock pot overnight and will be frozen in the morning. I usually do this every 6-8 weeks but it all seemed to go really fast this time since we have had so many busy nights.
June 9-$0 Would have probably taken DD11 out for ice cream after her 5th grade track meet today (it is a big deal to the 5th graders here and they all tend to go places with their friends after.) BUT, it got rained out. Postponed to tomorrow, so, the rain made me have another $0 day today. I am staying in and catching up on some laundry.

Argh I am having a hard time with no buy days! I need to kick my butt into gear! I have had a lot of stress on me lately, and shopping has seemed to be my stress relief! Trying to make today a no buy day!

This morning I ordered a photobook for my Dad that I made on Shutterfly. His Birthday and Father's Day fall on the same weekend. They were on sale for 20% off and I got free shipping since I combined the order with my mom's to get over $30. I ended up with a really great gift for him for under $25.

Sorry for the rough patch. I used to be the same way as you, funny thing is now I am so different, shopping to me now is often actually kind of stressful. Well, maybe not stressful, but not at all relaxing. Sounds silly but recording a $0 day is sort of a ruch for me now.

I was supposed to have a meeting with dentist about the work I need on my teeth (which is a separate budget - I have set aside $5000 to get my mouth straightened out) but he had an emergency. A young boy (10-12 yo) got hit in mouth with baseball so they re-scheduled me for next week.
