No Spending Day Results
Uploaded by ajburgess
The saying: “If you fail to plan you plan to fail.” usually holds true for me. I did get lucky and my failure to plan worked out. My work provided lunch at a meeting, which avoided the choice of buying something or going hungr. I totally missed that today was no spending day and didn’t pack anything. Oh well, chalk that exercise up as a try again later.
Amount saved $16.00 for lunch and gas at lunchtime. ($8×2 for me and hubby as he also forgot lunch and got my leftovers) = 11.6 Euros or the price of 1 ten pack (un carnet) of Paris metro tickets, which I know we will go through this fall.
Next challenge, get through the grocery store without anything not on the list and not absolutely necessary. Somehow my cabinets are full and yet we both looked at the fridge yesterday and said there was nothing to eat except for frozen pizza. Clearly we need to evaluate what we have and then make a list around a meal plan and cook some of these staples or donate them to the food bank if we aren’t going to use them.
