July No Buy--Let the sizzlin' summer savings begin!!

JULY:
I was going to pay for the Hallmark channel on Swagbucks, but my daughter bought it for me, so win-win! No buy day and get the Hallmark channel to watch at night, or anytime, lol. Oh and another win. I got SB for the purchase!

I love the Hallmark Channel! Congrats on the gift and the SB.

We stayed home yesterday and watched it rain too. It was thoroughly nasty, hot and muggy after the rain finished! Congrats on tacking the cleaning out of a room. That is a major undertaking!

We had planned a camping trip for this weekend, but ended up going to my parent's house instead because their dog is not doing well and we wanted a chance to say goodbye. Well, he seems to be doing a bit better, but his mobility is limited so it is only a matter of time. We had a great weekend overall and it was fun hanging out with my dad.

And today, DH needed more of his favorite pens, so we grabbed some while out grocery shopping.

July
1- Spend - $17 for Culver's while driving to parent's house
2- No Spend #1
3- No Spend #2
4- No Spend #3
5- Spend - $13 for pens for DH

Well yesterday I got all but the closet cleaned out in the den. It always amazes me how much stuff is packed into rooms, lol.

Today was a work day and I took my lunch so nothing spent. The upside to it being hot is I have no desire to go anywhere after work. I come straight home to my air conditioner, lol
