Went to the bank, and cashed in change today: my daughter bought one of those big Mr Potato Heads last visit (the kind you fill with the pieces). We use it as a piggy bank. My rule is I never spend ones or change, and it all goes in the tater. From 4/28 til today, we had $118 in ones, and $146 in change. That goes towards our next WDW vacation.

Anyway, I spent today
$3 on noodle bowl for the kid
$83 on books, DVDs and Blu-Rays at Buy.com (spend $100, save $25)
$10 for Enteman's "Dish to pass" at Single Parents brunch tomorrow
So my total is

Well, the month is off to a terrible start

I'm hoping to make it under $1000 for the month. So far:

6/1 - $25 for groceries for work.
6/2 - $25 at work for lunch out with the girls
6/3 - $40 at Staples for printer ink, $30 for groceries, and $5 for breakfast on the way to the hospital
6/4 - $0!!!!
6/5 - $30 at Target for camping stuff
6/6 - Will be a $0 day!!!

So far, I'm at $150. I have to grocery shop tomorrow for real (yikes!!!!). I don't think I'm going to make it - June is all of our vehicle registrations, and we're going camping with some friends at the end of the month. We'll see - miracles could happen

 

[neatokimmo]

I spent $100ish yesterday. It was for groceries, beer, cat food, cat litter, a toaster and some washcloths. I can't locate my receipts, I'll update the real amount when it posts on my CC. I also paid a tip of $3 on the lunch bf bought yesterday.

The only non budgeted thing in the mix was a machine that blows bubbles for DD. It was $12ish with the batteries. So not the end of the world.

Next week, if I can stay away from the junk food vending machines, I'll just need gas, a few more groceries and I need to pay DD's gymnastics fee.

5- $100ish
4 - $4.08 (18.15)
3 - $8.34 (14.07)
2 - $4.08 (5.73 running total)
1 - $1.65

I'm totally in. I did this for the first time in March and did pretty well. I didn't join in April & May because they were serious spending months. I need to pipe down in June My husband started a new job and is away for 6 weeks (we're halfway there) so because of his new income and adjusting, I don't have a set budget for gas/groceries/food or anything like that, but I need to spend less and the no buy thread really helps with that since I like those no buy days No goals, just will account for what I spend!

1 - $0
2 - $0
3 -$8.37 eating out, $22.08 groceries
4 - $0
5 - $4.26 groceries
6 - $3.98 misc (newspapers)

 

[Virgderon]
