Day 2 Problem:
No-Spend Day: Problem your self to spend $0 as we speak. 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 have a look at as we speak’s project was till this morning. We had deliberate a number of issues for the day that have been going to value 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 depart for an out-of-town baseball event tomorrow and I had positioned a grocery order to get issues earlier than we left. However then I by accident scheduled it to come back Wednesday morning as an alternative of this morning. (I suppose it labored out since
However we’re working 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 only get artistic with the groceries we now have readily available as an alternative of procuring. I’m optimistic that saved us at the least $10 as we speak (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 as we speak — since that’s tomorrow’s mission (I regarded forward this time!!)
Some Methods We Saved Cash Immediately:
- Ate from the pantry as an alternative of working to the shop.
- Took the children to the free childcare on the health club.
- Introduced my very own snacks and water with electrolytes to the health club.
- Acquired a free pattern on the health club that I had with mandarin oranges I introduced for a snack.
- Stayed dwelling and watched a present with the children as an alternative of going out and doing one thing that might have value 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 need 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 charge!), so I simply went forward with it.
I don’t know if that makes me a No-Spend Day failure?? 
The purpose was to save lots of at the least $5-$10 as we speak with the No Spend Problem. I’m going to stay with saying we saved $10 by utilizing what we had and consuming from the pantry.
So we’re at $25.25 discovered/saved to date with the problem. How a lot have you ever saved/discovered as far as a part of the problem?
