[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are high income but got hit with a very high bill in December that set back our savings plans.  So I am definitely with OP.  I ate lunch at work every day, but spent about 25% less than I have been.

Bought nothing until this weekend.  I found a savings bond I had totally forgotten about and cashed it in for $135--figured this was better than forgetting about it forever.  I filled up my car and spent the remaining $100 on: batteries, putty knife, screws, business envelopes, and postage (needs), as well as a spatula (old one broke and was tired of using a wooden spoon instead), a birthday present for DD and one for each of two sisters, and one magazine (wants--everything was on a list except for the magazine, which was a $5 impulse buy).

If this could be my weekly non-food spend for the rest of the year, we'd be in great shape.[/quote]

Congratulations on cutting back your spending this week PP!

This is OP.  Day 6 -- spent nothing again!   [/quote]
