Another successful no spend weekend! We ended the weekend with $30 in cash. We went $5 over our grocery budget, but we decided to stay in Saturday instead of spending our entertainment money. We also made a few household purchases. We still haven’t used our debit cards! :)
Yesterday I cashed two rebate checks and used the money to get a much-needed haircut. The rebate money may have been been better used as extra savings, but I’m counting it as a victory that I was able to get a haircut without affecting our normal monthly budget.
And now on to our menu plan for the week:
Saturday: Roasted chicken breast with salad
Sunday: Minestrone soup
Monday: BLT salad
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Chicken Greek salad
Thursday: Vegetarian chili
Friday: Chicken Caesar wraps

Hope your week is off to a fabulous start!
I love reading your “no spend” recaps! Sounds like it is going really well. What you do for family birthdays, wedding showers, etc? This is one area of our budget that is difficult to manage.
