I'd wanted to hold out on buying milk and other groceries until Saturday, but that didn't happen. However, I did have 3 no-spend days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) this week.

So...
Unplanned Spend days: 2
Planned Spend days: 8
No-spend Days (want 17): 14

Saturday & Sunday will be 2 more no-spend days... hopefully Monday will also be no-spend as I bought 6 gallons of milk today and that SHOULD BE enough to hold my family over until Tuesday morning.

It was a no spend day today as it was not an envelope day at church. One more day and I have met my goal...Here is hoping that I will be able to exceed it.

Well as much as I hoped otherwise, 6 gallons of milk WAS NOT enough to hold my family over until this morning, soooo... I took LittleMiss' suggestion and mixed up some dried milk powder, added it to a half gallon of milk. I made sure that Dh drank from the other gallon of milk (no need for complaints), and heard none from any of the children who drank the mixed milk. :lol: I did go shopping today, and the remainder of the mixed milk will be fed at dinner.

So...
Unplanned Spend days: 2
Planned Spend days: 9
No-spend Days (want 17): 17

One day beyond my goal. I am hoping to add another two to this before the end of the month (need to shop on Friday and get our allowances. Oh yeah and pay the second half of the months bills.).
