No Spend Day!!

September 8th, 2013 at 11:25 pm

I ended up buying groceries yesterday after I realized we needed something for dinner. I made a quick list for the week and got all the grocery shopping done a day early. It was a little smaller grocery bill as I will use some things on hand to make a few of the meals. I like when that happens.

As a result of that trip, today has been a no spend day. I'll take it. Those seem a bit rare around here lately.

I paid off our Target credit card charges and some gas charges on the Chase Freedom card. We are back to zero on those. The Southwest Card has about $572 due before the end of September. I will pay that off in full on Friday (payday). No interest! I like that too.

I expect to purchase gas this week, a hair product and write a check to the flute teacher. Not too bad. I also still need to return some meds we bought that we won't use. That will be $15 back in our pocket. I'm also avoiding school fundraiser number one. Magazines. I don't need to spend the money and I don't need any magazines. We actually plan to send some money in directly to the band program this year, so I can skip those fundraisers too!

Did you have a spending day or a no spend day? What did you buy? Or avoid buying?

    It was a spend day-- as I did buy groceries today. But it sounds like you had a lovely no-spend! Keep it up!

    Groceries! first real grocery shop since late June. Lots of little things to stock up on, but with meal planning for the week, nothing else may need to be purchased.

    We started making donations to the school in lieu of the fundraiser items when the girls first started school - the school got more money from us and we didn't have to buy things we didn't want or need.

    Oh, and it IS hard to have no-spends at school's beginning - my husband calls it the 'hemorrhaging money' time!
