Frugality Strategy: No Spending Days

great frugal idea to experiment with

clipped from simple-green-frugal-co-op.blogspot.com No Spending Days I know it sounds simple, I bet a lot of us think we don't spend that often, but in reality with drive through, pharmacies and department stores on every corner, not to mention those coffee shops, I'm amazed at how often we actually spend money. When I was starting my no spending days (which a reader introduced me to), I remember really struggling to not spend money on any day So just how do no spending days work? - You set yourself a target, for example to start no spending 2 days a week. Circle those days on the calendar, put it in your diary, wake up and remember today is a no spending day. - On a no spending day you do not buy anything, not for yourself or your partner or your children. - On a no spending day you will have to go without whatever it is you forget/want/need such as groceries, magazines, gum, bottle of wine, coffee, lunch out, bus tickets etc.

Rolly Through the Screen

State of the Garden at the Beginning of July

We've been harvesting the lettuce and mustard greens like crazy. We've been fighting with someone or something about our pole beans, but we've added netting to the chicken wire barrier and I believe we're making some progress. The potato condo is a total washout so far, though the straw is compacting nicely and getting weathered.
