Of course it's my challenge so I write the rules but my play book doesn't seem to cover this one... I'm going to take a vote so it's up to you.
I did not spend any money today.We even went for a 2 hour walk through town and down the board walk and DID NOT buy ice cream. I was pretty excited about starting out June with a NO SPEND day. And then my husband comes home from work with hamburger meat. I was planning hamburgers for dinner but I had bought ground chicken. He decided he wanted beef. Rarely do we have beef burgers but apparently he didn't want chicken today. Even though I never include my husband's spending in our $12 a day budget (or in my NO SPEND's) his spending is always for himself. He actually brought home a grocery item today.
So, was today a NO SPEND?
Yes?
No?
I'm so fifty fifty on this one I actually cannot decide.

JUNE 1st WAS A NO SPEND DAY.
No I think it was spend, unfortunately,by default..
ReplyDeleteI would say it is a no spend if you didn't ask him to bring it home. If you called him and asked him to stop and get it, then its not a no spend day.
ReplyDeleteI say it's a no spend since YOU didn't actually spend any money, HE bought it.
ReplyDeleteI would say its a no spend. He made the purchase without discussing it with you. You had no idea that he would pick something up, you already have the required ingredients to make dinner and you did not need what he purchased. I would include that in his purchases - the man wanted his red meat.
ReplyDeleteYes.

No spend day. If you change the rules to include his unplanned food purchases you will have NO control over your budget. I quote you " He decided he wanted beef. his spending is always for himself"
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt a no spend! Ireland
ReplyDeleteNo spend! :) Ieva
