A no spend means just that- you dont spend ANY money! I assume the people who try this out would have to go on a shopping spree for food and clothes before the no spend started, as well as stocking up on gas and other essentials- (think bills). A year is a LONG time to go without spending money, and I am pretty sure they have to pay there bills.... but maybe someone who does this can help me out!
I think a no spend week would be a great thing for our family! I am seriously going to try it! Maybe even next week, but we will see! What do you think about it? I can see how it would save money on the unessesary things we seem to buy, but doesnt going on a shopping binge before and after the time just kind of defeat the purpose? lol. Does anyone do this, or do you want to give it a try with me next week? Let me know what you think!!
I was going to do a month baack in aug or sep... but with birthdays and parties it wasn't going to happen.
ReplyDeleteI am on a no spend week right now, not leaving the house will sure help, but I have to try to make up for getting some baby items and a new diaper bag next week. I would love to join a group and do this together so we can whine... using food storage for the week so I am not even planning on grocery shopping... as for Chris I would have to take his debit card away because I called to see if he took a lunch today or needed one and he was AT subway... hmmmmmmmmmm
oh and I don't think bills count
ReplyDeleteI could probably do a no spend for like a week, but I don't see how it would be possible for a week or year. I try to only go grocery shopping once a week or every other week, so I think I could do it. I'll try it with you next week, as long as paying bills doesn't count.
