My February Goals:

No Spend/Budgeted Days = 21/20
Sewing Days = 14/20
Frugal Days = 11/15
Meals At Home Days = 24/25

Gas = $151.20/$120

I'm very happy to say that I made my No Spend/Budgeted Days and Meals At Home Days goal  Next month I hope I have more no spend days but there are a couple of things I need next month that wont be in the budget...grrrr.... So I already know it wont be a perfect No Spend month. I also hope that I meet my 20 days per month sewing days so I can put more items in my shop. Since it is getting warmer I hope to have more frugal days and start planting veggies in my garden. One big uh oh this month was gas... I wasn't expecting to spend over $120 in gas this month but I went over by almost $32. So next month it is getting raised to $240 since we will be doing a lot more driving.

How did you do this week?

I hoped this has inspired you to try a No-Spend Challenge. I will be doing this challenge for the rest of the year on mothering.com. It really does help you save and not spend money. Just try it for a month, what can you lose?
