I didn't spend any money yesterday. I'm hoping not to spend any money tomorrow. My boy and I just got back from picking up a few items at the store. I forgot to pick up Cocoa Krispies but I think the hubby can survive two days without any.
I've mac'n'cheese (my grandma's recipe) baking in the oven right now. I made brownies from scratch yesterday (with frosting). Grocery shopping and cooking and cleaning up after the eating and the cooking takes SO MUCH WORK! Yes, I am a lame adult who's used to having eaten out for YEARS. But cooking at home is always so rewarding. Not only does it generally save tons of money but every time I prepare a meal I get this sense of self satisfaction that alone is worth all the hard work.
Yep.
Average daily spending: $14.54
Keeping a house looking half decent with a small child around is really a mayor task!
ReplyDeleteI just settled on having homecooked meals, doing dishes, washing clothes and trying to get things more declutterd bit by bit. And that is hard enough right now. And I dont even work outside my home...
Cooking leads to many, many dishes to take care of, yep.
ReplyDeleteHope you pull off anohter no spend! :)

Eugh, I hate washing up after cooking! There are a lot of meals you can make in a single pan though (Google "one pot meals").
ReplyDeleteSounds like good food!
I dislike the whole cooking thing, but I kinda force myself to because I'm a vegan and all that jazz, so it helps there. It's a matter of getting healthy options. Congratz on sticking to your goal so far tho! Come midnight tonight, I'll be back on track with the no spends. So YAY there! :3
ReplyDeleteWe can do this!
