The end of our last full week in this No-Spend month we received our Architect bill. This bill is what sparked a last minute 'no-spend' month.
A nice surprise, my Beachbody paycheck came in, and now we were $350 richer. That is a nice help this month! It will go toward our next bill due after this one, the Engineer fee!
But first we desperately needed some groceries, some greens and produce and some fresh chicken... a couple tubs of Greek yogurt, I didn't get too much else... Well, I did, actually. With half-price stickers on the meat I grabbed a bunch! Worth it! I knew I would be over the budget and spent a total of $36.
Otherwise a quiet week. We had a playdate, did the normal stuff, no surprises!
And did we do it? Could we pay the GIGANTIC BILL in full? Nearly the same amount I paid for my car??
YES! Yes, we did it, with room to spare!
Time to celebrate!
But what is a frugal way to celebrate? Ahhh, Papa Murphys pizza, WITH a coupon of course! I sent hubby out to get it while I stayed home with the kids and made a salad! $12 and worth every delicious "I don't have to cook for the first time in a month" penny! Yum.
Total Spent to wrap up the month: $48
Adding that to our total of 289 we are at a Grand Total of $337 for the month of March!
And what did that include? ALL spending for the family of four on groceries, coffee, food, pet supplies & pet food, clothing and even treating the kiddos to ice creams!
Congrats on your no spending! I need to give it a try sometime.
