I believe a penny saved is a penny earned is by Ben Franklin. My unfrugal thing was buying all kinds of goodies at Aldi's yesterday. We are going on a trip and I figured this would save us form going out to eat (I hope) on the way. It will also sustain us at the zoo and museum and parks etc.

I went out for lunch with hubby on my B'day (Wed.), went to lunch with friends yesterday, and am going to Subway tonight for Date Night.
Eating out is my weakness!

I went to lunch today, $8.50 including tax and tip. On the plus side, I have been going out much less often since I began my challenge March 1, so I really savored the experience.

I went shopping and had lunch out twice in the last 48 hours, once in a while I feel that I need to go out, I give myself free spending money up $100 about every four months, I go to the big shopping centres and look around, and buy very little that I don't need. Today I bought Art painting kit $6.99, book on exercise to go with exercise stuff that I bought on Thursday, stepper and Gym ball. (exercise stuff around $50.) more groceries that I could do without. I just would like to make some muesli bars that I saw on a website. Car cleaning items micro mitt and mirco cloths x 6 @
K-mart 15%off sale today.

It is difficult not to splurge a little during the school holidays. Yesterday I bought lunch out for the boys and me but we did wash the car ourselves so ........... We have been to a free Easter egg hunt at our local library that was quite good. And putting my youngest (5) in charge of the shopping list has made the supermarket a breeze, no "can I have......"s today!

My big budget breaker, dinner out!! It was under $20, but still!! Plus my husband bought beer, another $20.(we have to drive to another state to buy beer, so we stock up)

I love the idea of your youngest son and the shopping list. It's may help others too!

This is what I did with a someone who didn't speck English and had never been to school. I cut out picture of items from the catalogues made the list with pictures, just amount in numbers. Only problem is if you get another brand other than what's in the picture. Oh boy!

This is an old thread that could stand to be revived, so I'm boosting it to the top. I think it's helpful reading how others feel that they've gone 'over the top'...might help me rethink some of my spending...so BOOST!

My unfrugal event yesterday was leaving my computer on when I left the house at 7:30 yesterday morning...I didn't know it was going to be 3:45 before I would return.

I bought a bag of chips and a soda at a convenience store.

Ah well, it was my allowance money and I was tired and wanted a snack, so it's ok.
