I did let myself buy a book today because I knew I would run our reading material and for whatever reason, this plane did not have inflight movies (which is ridic because it was about a 5.5 hour flight to LA, and 4.5 hours coming back). But I found an ebook that was $2.99 so felt good about that. I also really want to avoid eating out as much as possible so that is why I stocked my freezer last weekend! Good luck to both of us!! It is so tough to resist those X% off emails from places like Banana Republic but I am going to stay strong!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-18997263722966361142013-11-06T14:55:04.408-05:002013-11-06T14:55:04.408-05:00I need to go a whole year of not buying anything, ...I need to go a whole year of not buying anything, but I think I'll save that conversation for our financial planner. ha. The good news/bad news about having a boy is boy clothes, while not as terrible as they used to be, are much more limited in scope than girl clothes. You'll see oh so adorably cute girl clothes and bemoan the fact you have a boy ... and about 1.3 seconds later be so thankful you have no excuse to buy buy buy.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-54292414933314595522013-11-04T12:23:27.448-05:002013-11-04T12:23:27.448-05:00I love this!

I attempted a 3-month no spend challenge over the summer and failed MISERABLY, but I am going to attempt a really strict one in January (no eating out, wahhh) to get back on track and save money since I know November/December are going to be terribly spendy months. <br /><br />Good luck, though! You can do it!!Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-8066604210825118382013-11-04T09:43:56.847-05:002013-11-04T09:43:56.847-05:00I love this idea!

It will help that in six days you'll have so much stuff you won't know what to do with it.. it'll probably take the rest of November just to organize haha. I think we should plan an il Casale fam dinner soon since I'm going to miss those when the baby comes Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793577490918023099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-70565774711461288242013-11-04T07:34:09.572-05:002013-11-04T07:34:09.572-05:00I think this is a great idea!

I think Ben and I are doing this our own way too - we really wrote out everything on our monthly budget and chose what bill is coming from what and saving everything otherwise!<br /><br />I think you can definitely do this - maybe it won't even be as hard as you think!

I have been ...I think this sounds like a good plan! I have been MUCH better with money since I know that we are saving really hard for a trip in the spring right now. I was so not good with money this past spring and summer and did lots of impulse buying but when I know there is something big on the horizon I am much better at resisting. I am also attempting to make baskets for Christmas gifts this year. We made two batches of homemade wine recently (not actually at home - at one of the "home" brewery store places so all we really did is put the yeast in and then bottle it) so we are giving people wine and then I am going to do some baking and I am buying random cute little things as I see them and if they are on sale (mugs, teas etc) and will put all that in the basket and wrap it up pretty. At least this is my goal for this year, we will see how that ACTUALLY pans out...<br /><br />Anyways, I'm excited to see how no buy november goes for you!! I got a bit addicted to online shopping a couple of years ago (mostly lululemon) and really had to curb my spending. It is just so easy to enter your credit card information and hit buy!
