Update on No Spending Month

February 10th, 2008 at 12:27 pm

Well I did spend a little today; I had to go to the city.

Afterwards I checked out the supermarket for markdown goods while there and spent about $5.00 on clearance food lines, saving around $11.00 there.
I did drop into the op shop on the way home and bought some more books 3 cookbooks for 50c each saving around $30.00 here on Reg. Price.

I did go to Hungry Jack for Coffee (free) and had a burger & cone as well. Cost $2.40 saving $2.45 here.
Not bad but not good when you think about it, a little of no will power.

So I spend money today
Total Money spent today $8.90 (my cash outlay)
Savings $stretch $43.45

    I guess we have to splurge a little now and then. I have a hard time resisting a bargain, sometimes. I can tell myself how much I "saved", but the truth is I wouldn't have purchased the items at full retail, so I really haven't saved anything. I just spent on what I thought was a bargain, and it is usually something I don't need. Still, it's fun, and little harm is done.
