Beware, all you fellow frugalites...when you go off the challenge, the urge to spend returns with a vengeance (I already see from some of your posts, you are feeling the same). I woke up late today and instead of reaching for the instant oatmeal I keep in my office, I felt I DESERVED to stop at McDonalds. Granted, I did chose the cheapest breakfast item (burrito) compared to the bacon and egg bagel I usually get (savings of $1.25)...but still, I went out of my way to go the ATM just so I could buy breakfast. I did not have a hard time on the challenge at all...so why this urge to spend??? And now I find myself considering lunch out tomorrow with DH and the boys after they get their haircuts. Ugh.
