6/15 not to bad, I guess. Really it could have been 7, but the purchase onthe 4th has to do with a commitment for a big celebration...so I it was a mandatory purchase in a way no way around it.

9/15 I've been really good at not eating out so much for lunch at work..
 
I am going to restart today. We got caught in Irma at Disney so our spending wasn't tracked or planned very well. We didn't go crazy, like we spent $35 on souvenirs. But we were moved from the campground to a room so my detailed meal planning (which required the grill) got messed up. We spent about $250 on unplanned food.

I have to buy groceries later on. I have lots of meat in the freezer so we just need veggies.

I'm really hoping now that our hurricane evacuees have left I'll stop eating out to give everyone space...wildly optimistic for a couple (or more) good days this week/weekend
 
Jumping in late, but I need this NOW!

Goal is 8 no buy days from now until the 30th and no Amazon purchases except on Sundays. No buy for me is no purchases except for gas, pet supplies, entrance fees/permits for parks, groceries and eating out with husband on weekends. Also, no frozen dinners or Halo Top ice cream until the freezers are more than half-empty. (Okay, except for one Caulipower pizza a week. . .hi, I'm addicted to Caulipower pizza and my name is Snarling. . .)
 
Sept 3 - 6.50
Sept 4 - 5.66 for motion sickness meds
Sept 5 - 12 Irma/Disney
Sept 13 - 29.68 groceries
Sept 14 - 23.66 the rest of the groceries and some cleaning supplies.

I've done really well, and have not purchased on piece of clothing for myself or the girls. We've also minimized eating out.

My favorite clothing website is having a sale starting Sunday and I need to be strong!
