    Re: NO Spend * November 2 - 6 *

    Well, I had planned to not spend anything this week.  But I need gas and groceries....so I am going to try to spend as little as possible but I am a bit depressed as Murphy has struck.  I have to suspend my debt snowball until the beginning of the year and instead build up a war chest.  AUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Angry

    Hang in there sueellen!  You've come so far already, you'll get back to your snowball stronger than ever in the new year.

    Not spending today, yay!  And my mom asked if DH might like a gift certificate for the restaurant we plan to go to Saturday for his birthday.  She's watching the kids for this rare night out.  The gift certificate means that it will cost us a lot less-woohoo!  Helps keep the spending as low as possible this week.  I already bought his gift too so no worries there.  The only thing that seems like a big expense this week is the end of soccer team party and coach gifts.  I'm the organizer and trying to keep it as low cost as possible but we'll see!  Everyone wants to go out for pizza, which will be fun, but hopefully we'll be able to keep it on the cheaper side.

    Tuesday was not a no spend day for me.  Spent $75 on groceries at 2 different stores.  Mailed some bills, paid the mortgage and put gas in my truck.  Gave DH money for gas and got lunch out.  I really try to do all my errands on one day and hopefully the rest of the week will be no spend.

    Today should be a no spend day. I have a dr's appointment but no money out for that, will be getting my flu shot while I'm there.

    After spending last week's check at the pharmacy, DH was paid.  So I was able to pick up some groceries.  I only spent $50, but I was able to pick up a lot of things that we needed.  It was nice being able to make something without really thinking about if I had all of the ingredients.  We'll be spending more on groceries this weekend.  However, I needed diapers, fruit: apples and bananas, milk, eggs, bread, hamburger, yogurt, lettuce, tomato juice, apple juice, orange juice, soap, dishwashing detergent and tin foil.

    Ended up spending yesterday at Target.  Spent about $55 on formula, some toiletries, some school supplies and birthday cards.  Kept it all to needed items, did pretty good!

    Today will be a no spending day though.

    Hi all,

    Did a bit of spending yesterday, grocery shopping and got some xmas shopping done.  World Market is having their soaps on sale 3 for 10.00 and there is a 20 off coupon so I stocked up.

    Today, have to buy some cat litter and food but that should be it!

    See you next week!
