Talking no spend day for me.

i gave son twenty bucks for gas for tuesday, simply because he is letting me use his durango for the dentist appt. and shopping... it costs too much to transport my van on the ferry boat and then gas to our second location here... i ate and drank at home and read emails....

I'll do this weekend, since today just started for me. I spent about $120 this weekend including Friday. On Friday, I went to Lord & Taylor, and purchased a spring jacket, which was only $75 from $365, and since I was in desperate need of one. On Saturday, I filled up the tank, $30, and bought food that nite as well. Sunday, I was in the house all day, sleeping, and watching the NCAA games.

I spent $4.85 at the grocery store. Picked up Downey Dryer sheets that were opened at the edge and got them for only .79. Blackberries for .99 that were normally 3.99 and everything was on sale as well.

I want to start keeping a journal everyday on different topics including diet, finances, weight, and other important invormation, including no spend days, no gas days, etc.

$9.05-- on Burger King meals for me and the hubby. I know, not so great for us. But we rarely eat fast food and we were both having a craving!

Way too much! We went out to do some stuff this morning and spent about $18 on some craft supplies. Since we were out, we decided to have lunch out. That was $22. I thought that was it for the day, but my mother and cousin stopped by and we all went out for dinner. Our share of the bill was $53. So grand total for the day was about $93.

on average I spend about $10.00 a day. Usually on lunch. I cook dinner and take the leftovers to work but when I get there I really don't want to eat it so I end up buying lunch. Starting this week I plan to take out $25.00 for the week and Leave my debit cards at home.Hope this works for me.

I spent money on gas. This is where the majority of my money is going these days. I am certain that most people are really feeling the pinch.
