Runningmom80 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Everyone! How's it going? How did you do last week? I'm going to copy my tally from last week, but not all the dates. Feel free to do whatever makes sense to you!

Halcyon Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I will be doing the same as you, Amber. I did okay last week. Totals seem high, but they include all the recurring monthly expenses that we get hit with at the beginning of every month, so hopefully this week will be better. Also, we had a vet bill to deal with. I stuck with my grocery budget, and everything was within my budget overall, so that's good. We are on target to be BELOW our average monthly expenditures, and that means any extra goes towards our emergency fund, so I am happy. I am hoping today will be the first of my 5 planned no spend days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Here's my tally post So far I've spent $76 on Anyang that isn't gas, groceries, or bills. I'm pretty happy with that, seeing as $30 was company's form my twins to see the ped. I'm getting my haircut today, so that's going to blow this week, but I did cancel the color, so it could have been much worse! I also need to order some school supplies. 1/7 - $150 blech 1/8 - $0 1/9 - $5 (wine for dinner guests) 1/10 - $7 coffees 1/11 - $51 shoes for kids 1/12 - $5 the happiness project kindle 1/13 - 0 --------- Total for month: $294 No spend days 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 DH needs to swing by Whole Foods & Trader Joe's tonight to pick up some items & I need to place an order through vitacost. I'm hoping the rest of the week we're at $0 additional spending from what we're doing today! We'll see! 1/7: $31.41 groceries 1/8: have to get kids natural cold & cough meds after school lessons, hoping for under $8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinmomma Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So far, other than budgeted expenses (gas, groceries, bills) I have spent $1. I broke down and bought a coffee at church yesterday. My coffee pot broke (as in shattered all over the floor). I had enough change to buy the coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense, I am putting everything on there, including monthly health club fees, newspaper subscriptions, grocery and gas...vet bills...but still. Anyway, thanks. I haven't spent anything outside of our budget and today is my very first no spend day of the month!! Oh my. Just found out that DH's car tires need to be replaced asap. Shoot.

joannqn Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Almost everything is budgeted now that we are doing a cash envelope system. So I'm using this month to keep track of everything so I can see exactly what we are spending in the cash categories. Grocery: $233.02 Gas: $60 Eating Out: $10.68 School: $20 No spend days: 3 (out of 6) Total Spent: $323.70 The only expected purchases this week are groceries and going to see the Hobbit. We've been planning on going since we heard it was coming out. DD and I will be going tonight using two tickets we already have to see it in 2D (3D gives us headaches). DH and DS will be going Wednesday night and seeing it in IMAX 3D. 1/7: $16.25 (The Hobbit with DD) 1/8: $0 1/9: $13 (The Hobbit for DH and DS) 1/10: $149.66 ($88 doctor's appt, 56.99 RX, $4.67 groceries) 1/11: $10.76 ($3.79 crickets, $6.99 Kindle book for next lit unit) 1/12: $502.85 ($300.00 DD's birthday, $192.35 groceries, $10.50 lunch) 1/13: $27.43 (fast food...slight change in schedule messed me up for dinner...either eat out or eat really late) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerenityNow Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Wow! Everyone's doing great! :001_smile: My goal is no spending outside of basic groceries. (This is just for me, not dh. Unfortunately. And of course we still have the normal bills... electricity, mortgage, insurance, etc.) The boys do have 2 extracurricular events they would like to do this month, so I will set aside $40 for that. And maybe $5 for one soda/ice cream type outing, but that's it. 1/1 $0 1/2 $19.76 on groceries 1/3 $0 1/4 $0 1/5 $96.01 on groceries 1/6 $0 1/7 $0 I'm going for a maximum of 3 spending days per week, so I'm doing okay on that so far. I'm also combining this with a year long "finish those projects" quest. It seems that I like to shop for craft supplies more than I actually like to finish things, and that has got to change. Yesterday I got out all my random skeins of yarn and have started crocheting a shawl-type wrap for when I'm reading. Next will be a weird tv-watching-blanket made up of all the odd greens/blues/grays that I have left over. No new supplies 'till I've finished with what I've got! Ugh. :nopity: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb in NZ Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm going to post the whole month to see if there is a pattern to our spending. I am keeping track of all spending outside of bills on auto-pay (i.e. power, phone, insurances, etc.) My goal is to keep all costs as low as possible & eat mostly from our pantry/freezer/garden. 1 Jan---$0 2 Jan---$0 3 Jan---$6 (2 x 2 litres milk) 4 Jan---$0 5 Jan---$2 sausage at sausage sizzle for DH+ $28 lotto tickets for us & mil+ $8.90 fish bait for ds#2 6 Jan---$0 ***Week 1 subtotal =$44.90 7 Jan---$11 seed raising mix +$6 (2 x 2 litres milk) 8 Jan---$24 for two books dh bought on TradeMe (but he sold some scrap metal for $35) 9 Jan---$16.50 for two more books dh bought on TradeMe (but mil gave him $10 from the winning ticket we gave her last weekend) 10 Jan---$6 (2 x 2 litres milk) + $8 fish bait + $18 med (to replace some that expired in '95 :ohmy: ) 11 Jan---$80 four stationary motors from TradeMe for ds#2 to rebuild to help finish the quadbike he's rebuilding+ $8 fishbait + $22 beer for dh + $30.50 shorts & sunscreen for dd 12 Jan---$37 for two books dh bought on TradeMe + $18.70 for coffees for dh, me, dd, & ds#1 (dd shipped out today & the captain told us to take her for a coffee when we dropped her off, so that $$ was on Captain's orders :001_cool: )+ $14 Lotto 13 Jan---$18 dive tank rental (for dh to do a job for dd's ship as they lost something overboard & his tanks are old & empty) ***Week 2 subtotal =$317.70 January total = $362.60 No Spend days = 4 Groceries/Food = $18 Beer/Eat Out = $42.70 Unexpected income = $45 My goals for January: #1---Spend as little as possible as estimated monthly income is $0. #2---Eat mainly from our pantry / freezer / garden. #3---Learn to make do or do without whenever possible. #4---Use our month of summer holidays to help instill healthy habits.

Just wondering if you are in a high COL area? Yikes....$70 for a haircut is such a bummer. We used to live in metro Atlanta and things like haircuts were much higher than where we live now. Also, I've been going to a hairstylist that recently graduated from "hair school" and she is cheaper than many other stylists in town, but does a fantastic job....I got lucky!

No, we are in a very low COL area actually! But I'm picky about my hair, and only go every 3-4 months. That's including a tip as well. $55 was the rate, I gave her a few bucks extra tip because last time I gave her less than 20% I didn't have enough cash with me. I never really thought it was that much, my friends all pay the same, or more. Maybe I need to call around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I pay about 40 for a cut, and 80 for cut and color where i live, which is not a tremendously high COL place.

I take cash out of the bank each week for groceries, gas, eating out, etc. When the cash is gone, I'm finished... or supposed to be finished spending for the week. So, all my no-spend days actually mean that I didn't buy anything for which I didn't have cash in my wallet. They may not actually be zero dollars spent but rather zero "extra" dollars spent, if that makes sense. Today, I'll be heading up to CVS for a few things, but I will be paying cash for it, unless I overspend. Then I'll have to fess up to it here.

OrdinaryTime Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've had 4 no-spend days. Besides groceries: $40 on a new vacuum (the old one broke and was completely unrepairable) $25 on some organizational products that I have been waiting to go on sale $150 in unplanned charity donations. We were planning to up charitable giving this year, though we hadn't decided on an amount, and these were for friends who had emergency health issues so I feel okay about it. No eating out at all or library fines, which are my weak spots! I really like having these accountability threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
