I haven't had a no-spend day in a while, and won't today either. Yesterday I went out to lunch with friends at an Irish pub; the day before I bought a candy bar from the vending machine. Today I have to grocery shop.
After having spent so much on my kitchen, I'm losing enthusiasm for my small economies. I have to psych myself up. One thing I will do today is shop at Aldi's. I have to take my car to the dealer to get something reprogrammed (a manufacturer's recall), and the dealer happens to be very close to Aldi. So I will shop there, first time in months. I'm also limiting myself to $40. That will go pretty far at Aldi's.
I'm also going to go to Border's with a 25% off coupon to get a baby shower gift -- probably "The Baby Whisperer" if it's in stock. Then to Target, to get something like blankets, something that's on her list.
I found a dime yesterday and was thrilled and amused at the same time. I've spent about $3500 on my kitchen and I'm happy to get a dime? I guess every little bit helps!
