    Didn't nab one yesterday but that's because I was "spending ahead" and setting up the kitchen for the month. I'm actually surprised I spent so little but we now have a bursting freezer and store cupboard and thanks to the meat wholesaler I'll be having plenty of steak and chicken until I'm sick of it :)

    So whilst I'm not off the mark yet I'm all set to avoid supermarket spends (those 2 or 3 item lists that end up costing £20-30 :() if it's not in the kitchen we'll have to improvise!

    If I'm really really organised I can potentially clear almost two entire debts this month and this challenge will help me get there. Thanks to you all for the support :)

    Hello
    I would like to join this challenge. I am not going to include bills as may main problem is cash spending. I am going to count a NSD as a day no cash leaves my purse.

    Hello, thank you for a nice new thread !


    My March target is 16 NSD's


    and today is NSD # 1


    16 is my largest target to date - I think it's do-able. There are 5 weekends in March, so it seems like a long month, if you know what I mean. Hopefully plenty of time to reach the target :rotfl:

    Well, I didn't quite make it last month, managing 14 out of 16 in the end. The half term week was quite a spendy one, and combined with a very short month, the odds weren't in my favour!
    However, I'm reasonably confident of getting one this month. It's a working month, with no holiday and no special events currently planned, so I should manage!
    Can't wait for April though, as I'll be off for the bulk of it with Easter holidays. :) Got quite a few exciting things planned for then.


    Anyway, can I set my target at 16 again please!?
    Because it's fun to have money!
