Who fancies a No Spend Day thread (like MSE forum's) ?

[OhDearNigel]

I prefer MN to MSE but would like to do some NSDs in January. Anyone else interested in doing a support thread ? this is the idea

I have a shocking spending habit and i really, really need to curb it. So I am going to have a goal of 10 NSDs in January and aim to manage 3 in a row. That would be a massive achievement for me.

I've done a NSD today!

Went to a New Year's Day party and re gifted a nice bottle of wine. Me and DH doing no booze January so should help save a little too.

1/10 so far!

Tyaca I think a list of targets is a great idea.

0/15

I'll join you. Think I'll aim for 10 as well and will not include direct debits.
Spent the day in having a massive post Christmas tidy up so today's my first NSD.

I like your idea booyhoo, I really struggled with ds3 when I tried the monthly shop but I have invested in the tesco pre pay delivery so can get a big shop delivered once a month and lots of tiny shops whenever I need them. we don't have room for a chest freezer but do have two fridge freezers so it might just work.

I've made it today :)

Need some maternity jeans and a new pair of shoes for work so will get them tomorrow

I'll join I think I will start at 10 and work from there. Did a NSD today sooooo only 9 more to go

NSD today! DH has joined in and told me he successfully swerved the shop today, I'm going tomorrow - DDs are going out, and I'm only buying what's on the list!

1/15

Can I join?
I'll aim for 10. Not succeeded today as I bought a coffee at work and something off Amazon.
I rarely physically buy anything apart from food and coffee, but online shopping is my downfall.
Maybe I should take the one- click capability off my Amazon app!

ooh forgot to say. i didn't go out today so no spending and as it's a bank holiday all my DDs and SOs will go tomorrow although, i'm not sure if i'm supposed to be counting those as they are unavoidable spends aren't they?

so 1/20 for me

Marking my place.

Not heard of these before, but it's a great idea. We nearly had one today, but we stopped for coffee during a walk.

I'be done one! Park and party for which I had already bought a bottle of wine

day 1 successfully achieved. only 14 to go!

0/10, as amazing as my eco astra is, it can't get from Brightlingsea to Brighton on the red lines so we needed to fill up.

DP also bought some chips from Pease Pottage services for us, which goes against the "Food from home only for the entirety of January" challenge we had set ourselves Apparently that rule doesn't count on motorways So whilst I didn't personally spend today, both the car and the chips benefit me so I'm counting them!

Nearly 8.30pm and unless I buy something on the internet I have managed a whole day off on my own with DD without going into town, ordering a takeaway or buying something online.

Going to go for another day tomorrow as I'm back at work and will have the temptation to buy lunch from tesco express....going to make a packed lunch and actually eat it !

I'd like to try this as we're trying to concentrate on saving this year. I'll aim for 10, not including direct debits although it seems like a difficult aim at the moment. I seem to end up needing to top up with something most days. Today I've bought bread,milk, eggs and several books so will aim for a NSD tomorrow.

How bad is it that ten NSDs sounds like a lot? I'm a terrible frittererer...

Thermal, you are among friends. How about trying 5 ?

sorry, pressed send too soon !

5 NSDs would give you one NSD per week as there are 5 weeks this month. Does that sound doable ?

1/10 done! In fact I am in credit as I have just changed holiday plans (previously booked) and saved £100 in the process I will be spending tomorrow however, as I have to pay for slimming group (might even pay 6 in advance as I think you get 1 free if you do that) and buy a bottle of something which would appeal to a 21 year old (anybody know of any bargains?)

Shots are popular with that age group - what supermarkets do you have near you ?

2 for £8 bargain at Asda

Is it for a female or male ? Jagermeister is really popular at the moment, as are Sourzz, tequila, flavoured schnapps. Anything you can drink as a shot really !

bugger, it didn't do the link properly - it's a deal on "Sidekick" - cream liqueur in a variety of flavours
