The plan was to buy stuff to make a pie with but there were sales on a few things I had coupons for. I ended up buying 2 pkgs of bacon, 2 bags of coffee, flour and 10 pkgs of frozen veggies as well.

Today should be a no spend-leftovers for dinner!

November 20-BIG spend day!
$33.15 at Bath and Body Works
$44.88 at Old Navy
$65.87 at Home Depot on a new microwave for our camper
$20.38 at the grocery.

I had expiring coupons at B&BW. I got three candles ($12.50 each + an extra 20% off) and a free Japanese Cherry Blossom body wash.

Old Navy was for new "workout" pants for me. (Unless I change my slothful ways the most exercise they'll see is when I move the furniture to mop.) They're a staple of my winter at home wardrobe and my old ones are pretty ratty. They were 40% off and I got three pairs.

Our camper is 14 years old and the microwave died last weekend. We had to have a very specific size and found the right one at Home Depot.

I ran by the grocery for a few sale items including a 3.5 lb rump roast ($2.99/lb-DH likes his red meat!) and 7 pounds of sweet potatoes @$.20/lb.


Not sure if I should count this but I also spent a total of $56.23 on 2 winter shirts and a light zip up jacket for my dad. I did spend the money but he'll pay me back. He's lost a ton of weight since my mother's death in November 2015 and really needs to get all new winter things.

November 21-$0

 

[travelgirl06]

11/20 - No buy (8/10)
11/21 - Christmas dress for ODD, clothes for both DDs
11/22 - lunch out & target beauty order (25% off day)

My dad is coming into town for Thanksgiving and I have a few shopping things planned, so likely not many no-buys in the next few days. I'll still try to limit extraneous purchases

 

[fallonkendra]

Aiming for 10 no-buy days

11/1: $110 on after-Halloween sales (everything was minimum 75% off, so we stock up on new decorations/costumes/etc)
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)
11/9: Lunch $15
11/10: Lunch $8
11/11: No buy! (5/10)
11/12: No buy! (6/10)
11/13: Met some friends for supper ($50), bought a new dress at Hot Topic ($30)
11/14: No buy! (7/10)
11/15: Had a few errands to run after work, ended up spending over $100...
11/16: Paid for lunch for a co-worker and myself (since he paid for me the day before) $20
11/17: Gas for my car (which I count), and $30 on drinks and snacks at the movie theatre (the movie itself was free, since it was a premiere in the city)
11/18: Paid for lunch for myself and a co-worker ($18)
11/19: Went for a massage, but I will be 100% reimbursed by my benefits (so I'm not counting it), got to be a chicken VIP and taste the menu at the new Popeye's Chicken which opened on 11/21 - we were able to order anything we wanted off the menu, and it was all free! No spend day! (8/10)
11/20: Didn't leave the house, spent the day cleaning/doing laundry. No spend! (9/10)
11/21: In a course all week (which my employer paid for), breakfast/lunch and snacks are all provided - no spend! (10/10)
11/22: In a course all week (which my employer paid for), breakfast/lunch and snacks are all provided - no spend! (11/10)
11/23: In a course all week (which my employer paid for), breakfast/lunch and snacks are all provided - no spend! (12/10)

I guess I aimed a little too low! Now to see how many more I can get before the month is over!

Spent Tuesday and most of Wednesday at my dad's. I hadn't planned to stay over but when I got to his house the pool was a lovely shade of slime green. It took me two days to get it kinda, sorta blue(ish) again. Thank goodness for unlimited long distance! My brother, the pool meister, is in Maryland and I don't even want to think about what those phone calls would have cost. As it was I had to burn a couple of gallons of gas to keep my phone charged via the car.

I bought dinner at the grocery deli. I also spent $132.97 of my poor dad's money at the pool supply store.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It feels weird because I feel like I should be shopping, but only one sale really tempted me, and I didn't have the funds to drop on what I would have wanted (stocking up on clothes for next year at Justice for my daughter). This will change tomorrow though as it's our day out together and we're going to the mall for her to use her gift cards before lunch and the Nutcracker.

November 27 - $1 at Claire's for what my daughter needed after her gift card and $23 with tip for our lunch. We did pretty good actually. We'll typically spend at the mall, but knowing I had to pay for car repairs helped I guess.

Nov 18 - No Buy (10/18)

Ok, I have not checked in since November 18, the day my son came home from college. What a whirlwind holiday. Family in from out of town, dinner to cook. OK, here's my update. I have been shopping. Yes, yes, I know. The only good thing is that I have finished my Christmas shopping, stuck to a list and didn't buy anything extra for myself in all of the Black Friday sales except some tea. So here's my updates:
Nov 19 - No Buy (11/18)
Nov 20 - grocery shopping
Nov 21 - No Buy (12/18)
Nov 22 - No Buy (13/18)
Nov 23 - shopping for Thanksgiving dinner
Nov 24 - Gobble Gobble - did some Christmas shopping online
Nov 25 - Went to the mall for fun, bought some tea at Teavana, buy one tin get one free, mom bought a tin and I bought a tin so we each paid half price. Only other thing purchased was a shirt for DD who wanted to see the Black Friday craziness
Nov 26 Shopped - new artificial tree, ours was water damaged
Nov 27 Shopped - Christmas shopped
Nov 28 Shopped - Christmas shopped - quick run to grocery store

So I'm going to forecast the rest of my month, it should be No Buy for the next two days giving me a final total of 15/18 No Buy days. I'm OK with that. I'm happy I'm done Christmas shopping, I even ordered all of the stocking stuffers from Target. Christmas is going to be very low key at our house this year, no entertaining planned. I purchased a puzzle and a new holiday movie, that's our big plans for Christmas day.

You guys ready to jump in for a December No Buy?

November 25 - No spend #20: I'm calling it right now, because I have no car to go anywhere since it dumped all the antifreeze it had onto my Mom's driveway last night after we got here for Thanksgiving. And I don't feel much like shopping online since we'll be paying for repairs.
November 26 - No spend #21: Absolutely nothing. 7 days now and I've bought nothing. Haven't even gone in a store. It feels weird because I feel like I should be shopping, but only one sale really tempted me, and I didn't have the funds to drop on what I would have wanted (stocking up on clothes for next year at Justice for my daughter). This will change tomorrow though as it's our day out together and we're going to the mall for her to use her gift cards before lunch and the Nutcracker.
November 27 - $1 at Claire's for what my daughter needed after her gift card and $23 with tip for our lunch. We did pretty good actually. We'll typically spend at the mall, but knowing I had to pay for car repairs helped I guess.
November 28 - No spend day #22: Absolutely nothing. Today was just a cluster and I'm ready for it to end.

No spend days 22/25

I need to sit down and realistically choose a goal for December. I didn't do that this month and only circumstance has gotten me so close to actually meeting what I thought was an absurd goal.

as expected, had a lot of buys over the long weekend with my dad in town. I did get one last no buy today, so I got to 9/10. Not too bad, I appreciate that this thread helps keep me on track and at leas thinking about my spendinf

I think you did great, when you first posted your goal I thought to myself that you're goal was going to be pretty difficult, but you did so good!
