Week 3… and since March is such a long no spend month… I still have 8 days left in my challenge!

For the most part, I am doing exceptionally well. Minus the few coffee buys and now this week, I forgot to bring my lunch TWICE! Which cost me a total of $9.25 – I know, this isn’t a huge deal, but for this challenge I shouldn’t be spending any access money!On the plus side – I didn’t spend any money on coffee this week! (sad face)

I even visted Universal Studios / Island of Adventures and didn’t spend anything! This is due to the fact that I already have an Annual Pass ( I live 2 hours away! ) & my boyfriend supplied the food!

Last week, I set myself a challenge of using the food I already have in my pantry. Sad to report, that the only thing I really used was the rice – to make some bomb crock pot orange chicken. YUM! That’s ok though! 8 more days to go through these non-perishables. To make this happen I will only purchase meat and produce at the grocery store. I have plenty of sides in the pantry.

What I have been doing more of is spending time with family and doing more of what I love. Like taking my dogs for walk, networking, learning my DSLR and working out after my 9-5. Mom has come to the rescue a few times this week, also.

Mom made me lunch and dinner one day – score! Oh, how I miss living at moms house. Moms house has been the spot for the whole family to gather lately. I was able to meet up with one of my cousins to take some fun pics of her new born baby boy

So, this whole not spending really isn’t bad as long as a I keep busy and don’t look at my emails to get sucked into online shopping.
