Day 2 Problem:
No-Spend Day: Problem your self to spend $0 right now. No Amazon orders, Starbucks, or random grocery runs. You’ve received this! (Save: $5–$15)
Like I mentioned above, I didn’t plan forward and take a look at right now’s task was till this morning. We had deliberate just a few 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 by accident scheduled it to return Wednesday morning as a substitute of this morning. (I assume 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 only get inventive with the groceries now we have readily available as a substitute of procuring. I’m optimistic that saved us not less than $10 right now (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 right now — since that’s tomorrow’s challenge (I seemed 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 house 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 price!), so I simply went forward with it.
I don’t know if that makes me a No-Spend Day failure?? 
The objective was to avoid wasting not less than $5-$10 right now 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 thus far with the problem. How a lot have you ever saved/discovered as far as a part of the problem?
