Nsd for me today and as I'm not going anywhere I can declare now.
With yesterday that makes me on NSD #50 -
!
Am I the only one that is finding all this saving money very time consuming? I am doing alot more cooking which is taking time, keeping on top of my budget is taking a while too, and I am making bits and bobs for the house instead of buying. Where do the seriously thrifty find the time to do it all?! I am hoping it will start to get easier
It does take a bit of time at first Katy, but remember you're learning new habits. It will get easier and a lot of things will become second nature. Things like cooking - I tend to follow the" cook once, eat twice rule" that is, I whatever I make I cook double and freez half. That way I have a night off from cooking, every so often!
Have a look on the OS boards for MS tips and you may find ways of saving time and money!
Also, while you're doing all that youre keeping yourself out of the shops!
HTH:)
you will always be rich enough to be generous.0 -
Hello
I've been seeing this challenge mentioned in signatures but have only just found where it lives.
I think it is quite a good idea and would like to try for 10 nsd's please, I have 3 already if I don't count needing the plumber last Wednesday, also I think that I better not count bus fares as with the problems I have I do not need to get into a mind set that I can't go out because I need a nsd.Grocery Challenge January £138/£200

Good afternoon all, hope everyone's feeling ok.
Just like to declare NSD No 6 for today.
B.T.W. Although I had a spend day yesterday, I actually walked round the cash and carry type shop and didn't buy anything. There were lots of lovely things I would have liked but I resisted them all. See what you lot have done to me! :rotfl: It's great innit! :TS.P.C. 9 2016 No. 062 Banked £337.50
