A no spend January with limited grocery shopping spend

[MikeRafone]

Im needing a detox from spending for January

Ive cancelled my amazon prime account - for now as I rarely use it until easter so it saves £35

all my bills will go out by direct debit and standing order by 2nd of the month

Im going to set a limit of £4 per person per day for the grocery shopping so £28 per person per week. We have a lot of left overs, some of which im going to freeze for January.

Coffee at home rather than out in a coffee shop, no hitting the sales for stuff no-one else wanted!

Im wanting as many no spend days as possible for January

anyone want to join?

I started a Feb thread if anyone wants to join it - just so this one doesn't get too long and unwieldy.

@AlexFurbison I had an unexpected £330 bill yesterday and have my car MOT in February ( do have some money set aside for this - but with the dishwasher last month - its getting expensive!

Can you put a link to Februarys thread on this Fred?

Had 2 nsd yesterday and Tuesday and don't intend leaving the house today, so as long as i can stay away from online shops I'll be ok.
