Okay, confession time…
It’s Day 2 of the $100 Financial savings Problem and I unintentionally didn’t sit up for what in the present day’s problem was — till this morning! Oops!

Day 2 Problem:
No-Spend Day: Problem your self to spend $0 in the present day. No Amazon orders, Starbucks, or random grocery runs. You’ve obtained this! (Save: $5–$15)
Like I stated above, I didn’t plan forward and take a look at in the present day’s task was till this morning. We had deliberate a number of issues for the day that have been going to price cash, however we modified our plans to observe the No Spend Day problem.
One of many issues we have been planning on doing was a fast retailer run. We go away for an out-of-town baseball event tomorrow and I had positioned a grocery order to get issues earlier than we left. However then I unintentionally scheduled it to come back Wednesday morning as an alternative of this morning. (I suppose it labored out since
However we’re operating actually low on groceries, so Jesse was going to do a retailer run to seize eggs, milk, and yogurt. We determined to problem ourselves to only get inventive with the groceries now we have readily available as an alternative of purchasing. I’m optimistic that saved us at the least $10 in the present day (most likely extra, however I’m not going to over-inflate the financial savings).
I’ll share tomorrow what we ended up consuming from the pantry for in the present day — since that’s tomorrow’s mission (I seemed forward this time!!)
Some Methods We Saved Cash In the present day:
- Ate from the pantry as an alternative of operating to the shop.
- Took the children to the free childcare on the gymnasium.
- Introduced my very own snacks and water with electrolytes to the gymnasium.
- Received a free pattern on the gymnasium that I had with mandarin oranges I introduced for a snack.
- Stayed house and watched a present with the children as an alternative of going out and doing one thing that would have price cash.
BUT… I did have an enormous oopsie. I had a hair appointment scheduled and I completely forgot till simply two hours earlier than that that didn’t observe the No Spend Day. I didn’t wish to cancel it simply to be militant about following the No Spend Day rule (particularly as a result of that may mess up the stylist’s day and schedule and there’s a cancellation payment!), so I simply went forward with it.
I don’t know if that makes me a No-Spend Day failure?? 
The purpose was to avoid wasting at the least $5-$10 in the present day with the No Spend Problem. I’m going to stay with saying we saved $10 through the use of what we had and consuming from the pantry.
So we’re at $25.25 discovered/saved to this point with the problem. How a lot have you ever saved/discovered as far as a part of the problem?
