@regberadaisy: you tricked me in the june classifieds!!!!! You can't sell me something during "no spend week" you sneakster
I might lose already; its only Monday hehe. Other than that though, I'm not even planning on going out this week except on walks with LO. Oh and I have about $90 worth of merchandise that I need to *return* to TJMAXX.
-
@TurtleDoves: omg I'm so sorry! hahaha How about I hold it till next week?
and bahaha no taking that "return" and buying something!
-
I just realized I'm also going to need to curtail my app purchases this week, too. It's so easy to just say "oh, a .99 cent app, that's nothing!" and hit "buy" all the time.
-
I'm in! It's going to be a little tricky, though, since we have a long car ride to see family in the middle of the week. But I'm going to make some food that we can eat in the car. I'll try to save my freebie for if I need a caffeine stop mid-way through!
Good challenge. Good luck, ladies!
-
Shoot I just got my oil changed & washed my car. Do those count as maintenance? I haven't done either sense February...
-
@regberadaisy: I wasn't gonna! Give me benefit of the doubt
I actually really need to return the stuff. I was on a whip that day and I bought a dress and scarf. Why? no reason...they must go back.
-
Damn it, I already made plans for my freebie and it is only lunch time on Monday! But two friends I haven't seen in a while want to try and have lunch Wednesday if I don't go into labor. Well I at least have a $2 off coupon at Panera so it won't be too bad!
-
i already forgot, but i brought lunch and my work has coffee. it's gonna be rough because it's DH's birthday tomorrow, but I'll try to curtail the random purchases. Also I have a dot dot smile party on Thursday, but I'll be more aware of how many leggings/dresses Row needs.
-
I'm in!
My lunch is packed and I ate breaky at home this morning! My parents are taking us out to dinner tonight so... I'm sure they'll pay! hahaha
-
I'm in, here is hoping I can pull this off.
-
OMG I'm in! We are saving for a house, but since we moved to DC we have been spending like mad! Work week I will bring my lunch, and make coffee at home. We spent $150 at grocery store for two people yesterday, so we have plenty of food. I brought leftovers for lunch and it wasn't that bad. I have more time to check out the boards on my lunch break instead of standing in long lines downtown!
-
omg I'm dragging a$$ right now and so would kill for a cup of decaf. Blegh.
-
So far so good for me but that's because I haven't left the house yet aside from dropping LO off at school. Hope I can hold out for the rest of the week.
-
I'm so in! we splurged to have a weekend away so now we have to be frugal!
today I packed my own lunch, and DH made me coffee at home
I always pack my own lunch though so at least that's not a temptation for me. Moreso is all the deal sites like PYP and shopping for clothes for J!
-
I'm in! I have $ saved up for a haircut Thursday (kind of necessity? But I've saved up from my weekly spend $ for it) so let's see if I can abstain from buying any baby clothes or maternity clothes this week!
-
I almost caved and bought soup at lunch today because I'm feeling really sick. BUT I DIDN'T! I told myself you ladies would all be disappointed in me. So I just ate the lunch I packed.
-
DH called me on his way home and wanted to stop to the store to grab some unnecessary things and I told him it's no spending week! "Oh yeah the HB thing" haha
-
@Bao: haha that is so cute that he's joining in too! What a good sport!
-
@.twist.: Yeah he is always down for things, he's a great sport
-
@.twist.: I'm impressed! Go you
I made it through the day, but mostly because there were no temptations. Tomorrow is likely to be a different story, though...
-
@LovelyPlum: thanks!! What are you temptations tomorrow??
-
I'm so proud!!! Not only did I only spend $80 on groceries I did NOT buy any tupperware and the store at a 50% off sale going on!!! ftw!
-
Well ladies, what I saved in groceries I'm going to spend on a box fan for G's room... his fan just went out & since we don't have central a/c or a window unit in there a fan is a must (It's already in the 90's here). =(... Hopefully my mom will have one & we'll get to actually pocket our savings from my trip to the store! *fingers-crossed*
That doesn't count against my no spending does it?..
-
I didn't buy anything unnecessary today but SO got Moe's for lunch. It's fine because I didn't tell him about the "no spending week." I figure if it works out well for me this time I'll. ask him to join in next time.
-
@runsyellowlites: No, that does not count to me...he needs to stay cool he shouldn't need to suffer!
-
I had to get a new inspection sticker for my car but besides this my total spending for today was my $1.07 coffee - woohoo! Day One? done!
-
@Bao: I got off easy.. he's staying at grandma's tonight & tomorrow so we can figure out how to fix it later. lol *thankfully for grandma living a street over*
-
@runsyellowlites: oh good!
-
I had to cave and buy lunch and later a vending machine coke.. Was in a four hr meeting and was feeling sleepy, I figured a coke was better than losing my job... I did refrain from candy and settled for some stale m&m's I found in my purse!
-
@Bao: Even better, DH fixed the fan!!!
I am about to fall off the no spending wagon for some turban headbands for P though..... 7 bucks & cuteness is just overwhelming! brickyardbuffalo Oh how I loathe thee!
-
I'm a little late to the game, but I'm in! I bought a pair of shoes and a pair of sunglasses online before I saw this thread. I'll just stretch my no-spend to go through Saturday, though! This is going to be tough...I just had my baby recently and online shopping has been a crutch for sure.
-
@runsyellowlites: omg of course that does not count!!! Your child's comfort is numero uno!
GREAT job ladies!!!
I used my freebie to pick up Pho & BBQ Pork for M's dinner. We were planning on having cold cuts and I'm just not ready to give her food with SO much sodium yet.
Got my coffee, morning and afternoon snack and lunch. I'm ready for Day Two!
Got a free lunch coming tomorrow and Thursday from work - wahooo!
@emilysmith: you can do it!
-
Not going to have any problems or temptations today! I'm at home sick so nothing to buy!
...unless I go on amazon..... Haha JK!
-
I'm good so far! But I didn't leave the house yesterday except to walk the dogs so I guess that makes me lucky. Working from home is a blessing and a curse... blessing that I have food here and it's harder to want to go buy stuff because I'm not in the car ANYWAY (and I'm super lazy), but bad because I love getting mail and like @.twist.: said... AMAZON. Darn you, prime! But so far so good!!!
-
@.twist.: feel better!
Other than my planned purchase (a used bob stroller) last night, I'm on track to another no spending day!
-
Didn't leave the house yesterday, so day 1 is done!!
Today should be a piece of cake, too.
-
Day 1 is in the can! I have to just blindly delete all the gilt and babysteal emails I get every day...
-
I have to drive by Hobby Lobby today and have a mini project on my list of things to do... eek! I'm still trying to decide if a coral man bracelet is actually "needed". Currently I think it may drive me crazy for a long time if he doesn't have them for our pictures. Hmmmm...
-
I am about to walk by a Starbucks. Heaven help me.
-
@LovelyPlum: YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I might lose already; its only Monday hehe.
