Week 3: Spend $0 in February (or as close to it as possible)

Week 3

Day 1 & 2
no spending

Day 3
Kevin got gas- put some on an old gift card, the rest went on the card $30 or so
Costco- had to get water and eggs  and some other food I am blanking on $15
Kevin went to Denny's while at work, but had a free meal code from doing a previous satisfaction survey

Day 4
no spending

Day 5
Kevin went to the store and bought milk and 2 bananas about $7

Day 6
I went to Target- got bread, Will's pasta, and special frosting and baking cups for a baseball themed cake we had to make for T-ball. Used a gift card about $15
Went to Trader Joes- passed up the neat looking cinnamon sugar grinder shaker, got yogurt and cottage cheese. $5 on the credit card
Went to Stater Brothers - bought Will's favorite noodles (that they only sell there now - Nature's Way Pasta Roni) Could have just got one, but bought 4, as I had a coupon for $1 off 4, and because I don't want to have to be going out of my way to Stater Brothers all the time just for these noodles  $4 on the credit card

Day 7
Spent $14 at the Post Office, on the credit card, paying to ship some textbooks I sold on half.com. But I made $160 from the books :)

Day 8 (I guess this should be counted in next week, but oh well, since I already advertised about my Sprouts trip)
Went to Sprouts $8 on the credit card for produce- but got a lot for $8 as there were good sales!

Weekly Totals:
$ put on credit card = $68
$ put on Costco credit card = $15
cash spent =0

Summary

T-ball is expensive :)

Selling books on half.com made up for all our spending :)

This project has made me plan meals more closely. We have had less food waste. And, I think I have lost 2 pounds :)
