a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

Day 117: Another No-Spend Day

Posted on | December 27, 2007 |

It snowed and snowed and snowed.  All day long.  We’ve run out of milk, chocolate milk, and tortillas — but none of those were worth going out into the snow and cold for.

Well, I really wanted milk and might have been willing to brave the snow and cold to go get some.  But I definitely didn’t want milk bad enough to dig out the driveway and then brave the snowy, unplowed streets filled with California transplants idiot drivers.

In the end, I had to dig out the driveway tonight anyway because The Husband has to get his #1 son and family to the airport for a morning flight.

I suspect that I’ll end my string of no-spend days tomorrow.  We need groceries.  The Son needs to get to the bank so he can deposit all of that glorious cash he got for Christmas (three people heeded his request for cash for his savings account instead of gift cards).  Plus the kids and I want to go see the new National Treasure movie.

Part of me wishes we’d get hit with another big storm so I could rack up another no-spend day  ;-)

    I read your blog regularly . . . I really admire your commitment. I’m hoping to at least track what I spend in 2008, even if it’s not a concerted effort to “not spend.” Thanks for inspiring me!
