I have decided to Shop at Home this month. I will use everything up in my Freezer and Cupboards to prepare for Christmas. I have been saving with A**A Christmas Savings Card to re-fill them both. The only items I will buy are Fruit and Vegetables.
Also make Pressies and Cards.
So far 4 No Spends.

Having managed an almost no spend month last month I'm not doing so well this month. Having one of those periods where I need to spend something virtually every day. Just timing of things like needing grocery shopping! Maybe I should only count it as a spend day if I have a non-budgeted spend? What do other people count?2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0

Bit of a slow start for me, as I've only managed one NSD so far. I normally try to pay everything at the start of the month though, so hopefully after the 10th they should start to tally up
