Okay, so daily blogging is not my thing! I had a few days of not feeling well, so that will be my excuse. So, here's a quick recap on the last days and how we are doing on our challenge.
Day 4 (Sunday) - Spent $0 - probably the first Sunday that I haven't spent money on either breakfast or lunch (sometimes both) in months. I packed PB sandwiches and bananas for the boys and some oatmeal I could cook in the microwave when we got there. (We get to church by 7:30 am for Casey's worship team rehearsal, but classes don't start until 9:30 am.) Lunch is probably the hardest. It seems the only fellowship we (or I) get is going out to eat after church on Sunday, so that's probably the hardest part of living in a really tight, living by faith kind of budget.
Day 5 (Monday) - spent $46 on groceries at Albertsons. Used coupons and saved over $20. Casey filled up the van and spent $50 on gas.
Day 6 (Tuesday) - Okay, here's the rough one. We went with some friends to a Fort Worth Cats game. I bought the discounted tickets through Groupon in June, so the game didn't cost us anything this month. We had dinner before hand and said that we were NOT going to get anything to eat/drink while there. Well, something about sitting in the heat for a couple of hours changes your mind! So we dropped a $20 on 2 sno cones (for the boys), an ice tea (for me), and nachos (for Casey...I may have had a few bites). Well, we had a good time anyway. Our seats were right behind home plate. We left at the bottom of the 8th inning at 10:45 pm.
Day 7 (Wednesday) - Spent $0
Day 8 (Thursday) - Spent $0
