Aiming for 10 no-buy days

11/1: $110 on after-Halloween sales (everything was minimum 75% off, so we stock up on bags/new decorations/costumes)
11/2: $50 on lunch for my department, it was my turn to buy for everyone.
11/3: No buy! (1/10)
11/4: $130 on a new Dooney & Bourke - but I had budgeted $250 into my savings for our trip in January to buy one, so this is like $120 in savings
11/5: No buy! (2/10)
11/6: Went for supper with friends, my boyfriend paid for us. I didn't really enjoy the food though, so I did spend $8 at McDonald's on the way home
11/7: No buy! (3/10)
11/8: No buy! (4/10)

 

[travelgirl06]

11/07 - $28 at thrift store, hiking clothes, sweaters and 3 Fiestaware plates at .69 each.
11/08 - $24 - two sweaters at Target. I did not need new sweaters, but I had to wait 20 minutes for my flu shot and I browsed. I should've stayed in the Christmas section. I can resist that (my attic is a 90% off Target Christmas treasure trove.)

1- Post office, $4.45. This was a stupid tax for me on purchasing the wrong item and needing to send it back.
2- Getting a haircut tonight. A little costly, but I only get my haircut about twice a year so I feel the cost is justified.
3- No buy
4- Caved and bought HBO for the month. Darn you, Westworld... so good.
5- No buy
6- Treated my brother to lunch (he paid a very big bill for me recently without me knowing until it was done and refused to let me pay him back) and bought Starbucks.

Made the rounds and shopped at Target, Winn Dixie and a local grocery. I did go over budget but there was a good sale on whole hams and turkeys so I bought one of each as well as two huge packages of split chicken breasts. I also splurged on beer for the weekend and a few honeycrisp apples ($1.99/lb!) Everything else was the usual: salad mix, avocados, broccoli, squash, zucchini, eggs, bananas, etc.

We should be set except for milk and produce for at least two weeks, probably longer.

Friday was supposed to be a no spend day but we woke up to a sick pup. $36 for an exam, two shots (antibiotic and steroid) and a round of oral antibiotics.

We're camping in Biloxi and there was a chance that we might eat out but due to one thing (traffic) and another (camper TV is out and tomorrow is football day!) it was after 8:00 PM by the time we were set up. We ended up eating gumbo that I had tossed in the freezer for "just in case".

We had date night last night, so certainly not a no-buy. Babysitter, restaurant, etc. DH and I also bought some much-needed new shoes.

Nothing so far today (other than groceries), but we are planning to go out later to get curtain rods (which we need, but still a "buy"). Even if I only have 3/10 days so far, I am feeling much more conscious of impulse buys and trying to avoid extra buys.
