Whew!

1 down. 364 to go!

It's over! I survived! I did not make a single purchase today :) WHOO HOO!!!

So...my fellow friends. How did you guys do? Did you resist Starbucks (coughGINAcough)? Did you resist online shopping (coughVALcough)? Did anyone venture out of the house or did you just stay locked inside all day, so you wouldn't be tempted?!? LOL!

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I did have my starbucks..but it was purchased with a gift card. Really, what AM i going to do once i run out of free cash?! And yes, i did stay in today...but really because i'm a gimp and i can't walk. What the hell's going to happen to me once i AM able to walk?? I'm actually nervous about that....
    On a side note, CONGRATULATIONS to YOU!,Chrystyna! Job well done :)

    Good for you!
    We didn't go to any stores, that's the easiest way to prevent spending, huh? How can I avoid them for the rest of the year? Even the grocery store has junk I could buy... ;)

    OK, just hopped here from Erin's blog. I love your challenge of doing without, etc...I wish I could. Yesterday, a trip to Lowe's, but we saved hundreds of dollars when we found the knob/door handle for our very expensive glass storm door. We were afraid we'd have to replace the entire door. Then today to Wal-mart to grocery shop. Oh and the tub at Lowe's we want is about $1,000...so....guess if I want that, I'll have to stop going to Walmart! Ha!
