Day 2 Problem:
No-Spend Day: Problem your self to spend $0 at the moment. No Amazon orders, Starbucks, or random grocery runs. You’ve obtained this! (Save: $5–$15)
Like I stated above, I didn’t plan forward and take a look at at the moment’s task was till this morning. We had deliberate a couple of issues for the day that have been going to price cash, however we modified our plans to comply with the No Spend Day problem.
One of many issues we have been planning on doing was a fast retailer run. We go away for an out-of-town baseball match tomorrow and I had positioned a grocery order to get issues earlier than we left. However then I unintentionally scheduled it to come back Wednesday morning as a substitute of this morning. (I suppose it labored out since
However we’re operating actually low on groceries, so Jesse was going to do a retailer run to seize eggs, milk, and yogurt. We determined to problem ourselves to simply get inventive with the groceries we’ve got available as a substitute of buying. I’m optimistic that saved us no less than $10 at the moment (in all probability extra, however I’m not going to over-inflate the financial savings).
I’ll share tomorrow what we ended up consuming from the pantry for at the moment — since that’s tomorrow’s challenge (I regarded forward this time!!)
Some Methods We Saved Cash At present:
- Ate from the pantry as a substitute of operating to the shop.
- Took the children to the free childcare on the fitness center.
- Introduced my very own snacks and water with electrolytes to the fitness center.
- Obtained a free pattern on the fitness center that I had with mandarin oranges I introduced for a snack.
- Stayed dwelling and watched a present with the children as a substitute of going out and doing one thing that might have price cash.
BUT… I did have an enormous oopsie. I had a hair appointment scheduled and I completely forgot till simply two hours earlier than that that didn’t comply with the No Spend Day. I didn’t wish to cancel it simply to be militant about following the No Spend Day rule (particularly as a result of that may mess up the stylist’s day and schedule and there’s a cancellation payment!), so I simply went forward with it.
I don’t know if that makes me a No-Spend Day failure?? 🙂
The aim was to avoid wasting no less than $5-$10 at the moment with the No Spend Problem. I’m going to stay with saying we saved $10 through the use of what we had and consuming from the pantry.
So we’re at $25.25 discovered/saved up to now with the problem. How a lot have you ever saved/discovered as far as a part of the problem?
