Nothing, haven't gone anywhere except the post office for parcel pick up. But after I get out of school at 10pm I will be buying pantyhose so about four dollars. (You put them over your gift wrapping paper).

Ooooooooooooo i didn't even know this challenge was going on. I didn't do very well today..... I spent $40 on giftcards, $5 on a coffee and donut, $4 on pictures and a card. Oh and then $20 on floride for the boys. Soooooooo not a very frugal day today.

I will do better tomorrow though.

I didn't leave the house -- so nothing! I did almost buy two things online and that would have been about $150.00 -- I just couldn't do it.

I didn't leave the house but I did spend $.80 cents. My kids get reduced lunch so they each needed .40 cents. Pretty good deal. Tomorrow will be different, I have to do my grocery shopping for the week. Love this challenge.

Okay day one...feels like already i am off the bus. Today I spent 20.09 at bj's but I got meatballs for a potluck tomorrow night, a frozen pizza (uno one) and bagels that I will freeze for ds for snacks.

Then it was getting so late this morning bought ds and me lunch at mc. For 3.89. Which is not bad for 2 people.

Then paid $15 for ds piano lesson, And spent 10.79 on pizza.

I definly need a do over. Tomorrow should be better have some returning to do. Though I do need to pick up some stuff at target. I will be more dillegnet and get only what i need.

I didnt spend anything. Of course it helps when you have no money. Only time I left the house was to take and pick up the kids from school and I went into work for a little bit to fill out paperwork.

$16 that I shouldn't have.
I have my menu for the week and the food, but dh is working late so I went and picked up chicken fingers, tater tots and couple of other things at the store. I didn't feel like making a meal when dh eats most of it and there's already leftovers in the fridge.
oops, no more excuses...

Woah, we're starting TODAY??

DH & I spent $14 at Subway for Dinner! We were out doing Christmas shopping without the kids - of course we didn't get anything... GRRRRRR (waste of time & money)

I'll try to do better tomorrow!!!
