february spending freeze: week one, weekend two recap

February 11, 2013 by Lindsey Leave a Comment

So far so good on the spending freeze! We didn’t have nearly as exciting of a weekend as we did last weekend.

This weekend we got some projects done around the house (more to come), went for a walk downtown and just hung out and watched some movies. Always nice to have a chill weekend like that. So far this is what our spending looks like, aside from the items I already mentioned we’d be spending on that were budgeted for:

Contact Solution: $18.28 (which kind of killed me because this would have been $0 out-of-pocket but I had the flex spending card on me and Al was completely out so had to buy some. It was a two pack though, so that made me feel better and the tax in CO is outrageous).

Eye Doctor: $20 co-pay

That’s it though. That’s the only spending done in 11 days so I’d say we’re doing pretty good. And I mean it’s not like we bought $38.28 of magazines and ice cream, though that would have been lovely, they were legit expenses. And if any of you know Al and his love of eyes, you’ll know that “you only get one pair so treat them right.” So, that’s our update.

What about you guys? Anything fun this weekend? Everyone in New England was totally snowed in, which I was jealous of for like an hour and then I got over it because I remembered how I hate snow. Lots of projects to come!
