We went to Buy Buy Baby and we bought a video monitor and some other things we needed (saline drops, sunblock and bug spray for his outdoor time at daycare, new bottles, etc.). And then I bought him a few pieces of clothing at the baby consignment store yesterday. And we ate out for lunch and dinner Saturday.</p> <p>Oh well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-845360 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:49:27 +0000 regberadaisy 845360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's week 2!<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-2-610-614#post-845352" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-2-610-614#post-845352</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-845343 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:44:03 +0000 .twist. 845343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yay!

I got rid of a stroller &amp; other items DS has outgrown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-845295 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:26:11 +0000 littlek 845295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-845285 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:24:54 +0000 plantains 845285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I think every week would actually be really great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-845281 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:23:25 +0000 regberadaisy 845281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did everyone do over the weekend?<br /> No spending binge, I hope? hehe</p> <p>@emilysmith: how did Saturday go for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-841517 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 08:43:38 +0000 regberadaisy 841517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are there a lot of people that want to do it next week?</p> <p>I'll start a thread every week if people want? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-841332 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 00:41:07 +0000 .twist. 841332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my freebie when DH took me out for dinner the other night.

I could have gotten through without using it; I had planned to use it for a coffee when I drove to VT with my sister to visit my grandparents, but my sister bought me a a coffee for driving. However, we went to this awesome little country store and I picked up some pumpkin maple butter as a treat for SO. But, then my grandfather slipped me a $20 when I was leaving soooo technically I came out ahead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-840851 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 18:31:44 +0000 regberadaisy 840851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: second week of July! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-840775 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:34:50 +0000 tlcbaby 840775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I don't think your $.97 gum should have to count - you could have found the money for that in your couch.

I went grocery shopping today, but I stuck to my list and didn't get any treats. </p> <p>I even went to Sephora and didn't buy anything-just picked up my free birthday gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-840764 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:31:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 840764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Well aside from dinner tonight &amp; my gum I didn't spend any money other than necessities! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-840745 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 17:25:20 +0000 regberadaisy 840745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: hahah ok, if one other person agrees then you can not use the .97cts gum as a freebie! Haha just this once., wouldn't want to set a bad precedent! LOL</p> <p>How did everyone do?</p> <p>Was any one able to get through <i>without</i> using a freebie?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-spending-challenge-week-1-63-a-67/page/6#post-840625 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 16:23:07 +0000 singingbee 840625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm joining next time.
