We are still working on our goal to spend as little as possible for the month of February, keeping our usually credit card, which is usually a couple thousand dollars a month to as close to $0 as possible.
Week 2
Day 1
no spending
Day 2
I had to get gas. $30 did co on the card :(
Day 3
Had to pay some t-ball related expenses for shirts and team banner. Total $35. I think we are about even now on the money we got reimbursed from our sign up fees for being team manager, so that purchase is fine.
Day 4
no money spent
Day 5
I saw a groupon type coupon I really wanted for ice skating. We went once before on a coupon deal and the boys had a great time and keep asking to go back. This was definitely not a justifiable purchase though, so I had to get creative. I bartered with my sister. She bought the deal for me, now I owe her babysitting and a loaf of pumpkin and banana bread.
Day 6
Needed some produce.
Spent $6.75 at Sprouts.
Spent $18 at Walmart on bagels, yogurt, and pull ups that Will wears at night.
These purchases went on an old gift card we got from a rebate that we had.
I had found 2 old groupon type codes for Papa Johns. I thought I had used them up, but realized I hadn't. It said on them that they expired, but I tried and it worked. So we got pizza without spending any money tonight. It tasted really good... especially up against all the freezer food we've been eating
Day 6
no spending
Day 7
Valentine's Day!
I had a few things I bought a long time ago so I made little gift cups up for the boys. I wanted to decorate but realize I didn't have any crepe papers or balloons or anything. We had many valentine picture crafts Will had made so I hung them all up. Grandma Kathy was here with us and had gotten 2 mylar balloons at the dollar store so that livened things up too. She took us out to lunch on Valentines day. Thanks Grandma Kathy!
Weekly Total:
$30 on credit card (gas)
$28 on gift card (food and night diapers)
$35 cash (for Tball stuff)
