No Buy January 2010

[Where'sPiglet?]

Since I started this thread, I went ahead and started the February one. I looked and did not see one already started. I hope I didn't miss one.

No Buy February 2010

I totally biffed this one up. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'm just looking forward to the fresh start tomorrow brings.

As I said before, I've been bad with posting because I've been sick....But the up side to that was I haven't really been spending anything. It's been work- home- bed.
Because of all the extra I had left with groceries I went to CVS yesterday just to get this weeks great sales all in for January and save my No Spend Days for Feb....How sad am I to think that way. lol. I kicked butt in CVS Sat and Sun. Stocked up on alot of needed things.

I'm also taking $200 of the Grocery $$ and putting it in the Vaca savings acct.


What's left
Groceries $326.00/550.00 We are depleting our stockpile of everything right now. Not normal to have so much left over. I've just been to sick to shop or do anything else.
Gas $8.00.00/160.00
Entertainment/Eat out $-45.00/150.00 We went to see The Lion King yesterday and ended up spending more than I wanted even though I had already included some of the cost in the Budget. Plus had GC for dinner after.
DD's School Lunch $10.00.00/50.00
?/15 -0- days left exceeded the goal.
$92.00 in unexpected costs due to Dr. co-pays and RX.
