*This will not include the purchase of gas ($20)... gotta get to and from work some how*
I'm normally pretty good with my money. I absolutely LOVE to shop.. but I'm fully aware of every cent in my bank account and where it's already been alloted to. But I've noticed a pattern recently of spending unnecessarily. And since we're already working with a very strict budget, my little shopping trips need to stop.
Drew has enough clothes to fully cloth 62 kids... at the same time!! (Let's not talk about my closet... )
Our house has enough... MORE THAN ENOUGH... stuff.
Our freezer, fridge and cupboards are all full.. some overflowing.
So one week it is.
We will not be eating out. No new toys, books or baseball gloves. The thrift store is COMPLETELY off limits. Wal-mart & Target do not exist.
My debit card is being left at home and I'll only carry a credit card (just in case of emergences) because I absolutely HATE using my credit card for anything.
And since our kitchen really is fully stocked, I might try to get through the weekend as well, without any spending.
So there you have it... my goal for the week. If I don't post again by next Monday you will know that died from lack of spending... and that shopping really is necessary.
Wish me luck!!
