Extreme NoSpend

Remember how I did NoSpend November last year? Well this year I decided to try it in December. There are a couple of reasons for this shift. First of all I had a vacation planned already for November so I didn't want to skimp on it since vacations for me are so rare. The other reason is that while last November was difficult (primarily because of football season) it wasn't as big a stretch to pull off. Christmas is a big spending time and I found that instead of really saving on holiday spending, it could have been differed. So is it really no spend? Tough call. So in that spirit I modified one rule from 09. No Christmas stockpiling.

 

No Change November sprung as a result of things being moved to December. I can now compare it to December as well as last November. I also get a chance to see if I am able to track spending when it is happening all the time. Lets see how it all goes! Also of note, I am changing how I list acquired and consumed. If I acquired a cookie and ate it all in the same day, it will only be listed in consumed. Acquired will only be present for things that make it to the end of the day. The exception to this is cashflow.

Day 10: Good Throw


An apple breakfast started my day off. I had a few important things to do at work but at 11 we had a team building meeting in Squires in honor of Ryan's birthday. It went pretty well though the computer was having a tough time keeping the team that we built. It didn't affect the bowling much though. After that we went to lunch where I splurged on Dr Pepper and two pieces of pizza from PKs. I'm not a soda person really but I knew I'd be tired in the afternoon especially after pizza. Aaron confirmed that the soup was from him so mystery solved on that one. After work I headed home and put some things away from the flood displacement. I started up some apple chips and put a video up about it. Surprisingly easy if you have the right items in your kitchen. Dinner was frozen waffles since I was so tired from getting other stuff done. Watched some hulu with people near and far and headed to bed some time later. Now I know for a fact that I didn't spend $20.50 today but I can't find all my cash... I'll keep digging. I hate cash.

Here's that video for you to check out
