Jingling July Challenge

Post by Jackielou »

This month I am not only going to keep track of no spend days, and action items, I plan on keeping track of what I put into my savings jars (both pocket change and bills from my allowance).

Starting the month off with a no spend day.

Action items

1. Weed the perennial bed as the weeds will pull out nicely when the ground is wet.

2. Figure out a way to rid our backyard of the small bunny. It is starting to eat leaves in our veggie garden.

3. Sew denim quilt top.

4. Finish socks.

5. Do some baking.

Yesterday was a spend day, but today will be no spend. So 2 no spend so far this month. Got to love not spending cash.

Action Items

1. Baking.

2. Getting my supper ready to go in the oven a bit early today.

3. Find my mitten pattern.

4. Finish up the little chores for the week, and do some extra cleaning.

It will be a minimum spend day today, but because there will probably be a bit of spending I will be sticking to 6 no spend days this month.

Action items

1. Continue knitting mitts.

2. Make grocery list.

3. Continue knitting mitts.

4. Get caught up on extra cleaning list.

Today will be a spend day, but hopefully a lower grocery bill than usual. This leaves me at 6 no spend days so far this month. Not doing too badly, but could do much better overall.

Action Items

1. Go shopping.

2. Phone in script (though I could wait another week, I just do not like running low).

3. Say good-bye to oldest DS.

4. Knit mitts.
