My budget is going too well so far . I had a couple unexpected costs for my son ($125 for summer school & $200 for football camp). I thought I had already paid all fees, but I guess there was more .

As of today, I'm going to get back on track and really try to stick to my plan .

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)
7 - $25.01 gas

I needed a Disney fix, so I downloaded the Toy Story Mania app for my ipod - luckily I remembered I had a $15 iTunes gift card from Christmas!

So, a funny story. I'm the spender & DH is the saver, so I try anything I can to help me not spend on the little things (envelopes, this thread, etc.) DH thought it was kinda weird having "no buy" days, but whatever.
So yesterday I had to go to the emergency room for a few hours (I'm okay) & on the way home I really wanted to stop at McDonalds for a vanilla latte. Then a few minutes later I said, "No, don't stop because I'll have to write it down and it won't be a "no buy" day."
Today, DH calls me from work and says, "We need milk. Do you want me to stop on the way home, or is it a "no buy" day? I think he's convinced now! (and I told him I'd get it tomorrow, because it IS a "no buy" day)
