DH and i talked about this a lot this weekend, and we think we are up for it.we have decided to make october a "no spend" month.
(to find out more, google "no spend challenge")
what that means to us is that we evaluate every purchase as necessity or want.
we will, of course buy milk and fresh produce.
here are the top ten reasons we have for doing this:
10-i'm really interested to see what's in the back of the freezer.
9-i have enough toothpaste, rice, pasta, and canned beans to last AT LEAST a month :)
8-last week when DH was getting an inspection for DS's car, we found out that an $800 repair is soon going to be needed (although the car is not worth $800, we surely couldn't replace it for that!)
7-we want to prove it to ourselves that we really can survive without amazon, ebay, itunes, starbucks, yellowtail shiraz, and lottery tickets.
6-there's always free movies and cookies at harris teeter.
5-i love deals, but frankly, i'm a little tired.
4-i like the challenge of inventing meals with pantry supplies.
3-the freezer is stocked with harris teeter chicken, green giant vegetables and food lion ground beef.
2-i'm pretty sure i can find some free (with coupons) halloween candy.
1-did i mention my husband is in real estate?????
*don't worry, i will still be posting lists for you!*
