I was trying to do just one week buying nothing but milk and fruit and gas starting today but it made me so anxious, I spent all day worrying about how I would make it and I left work to go buy coffee and donuts, then on the way home from work I stopped at the gas station and bought candy and a soda (have never done before) and then I bought something to wear to a wedding tomorrow (kind of had to) and bought a movie on Amazon prime for my daughter. I spent $39 on my 1st no spend day :-(

I have been there.... and honestly reporting in made me feel guilty LOL but I decided next week will be a better week!

Joining in! Need to be more accountable on my extra $$
Follow my budget great, $$ in savings each month and extra in CC Payment. Just paid off one so focusing on final one now. We like to eat out and spur of the moment stuff so will be curbing that impulse as much as possible lol.

Shooting for 25 days no buy except bills, groceries, gas and back to school supplies( doesn't need much) Did clothing buys already and grandma helps with some too! Will have a couple eat out days when we have things planned.

Heading to DL end of September so need to be saving a bit more for our hotel. Using airline points for flight!
Sharing hotel room with friends with group discount through DD dance studio they are performing!
Splurging on Halloween party tickets
WOC dessert party
Blue Bayou Fantasmic dining package
Everything is covered at this point (other than hotel) and have food/souvenir $$ saved.

8/1 $6 Starbucks - DD Had knee surgery and I couldn't eat or drink in front of her to be nice lol
8/2 $0
8/3 $0
8/4 $0
8/5 $16.58 lunch out

Subscribing to be encouraged. Hopefully, I'll be able to try next month. I think I'd only be able to squeeze in 5 days this month.
