Cheater, Cheater, money spenders

Well, the last two weeks of no spend didn't quite go well at all as planned. The kids unexpectedly went away and for the first time in SEVEN years Ryan and I had the house to ourselves. This was also the longest I have ever been away from my kids and at just four days it felt like forever!!! Ryan and I went on a couple of dates. We hardly ever get to have dinner, just the two of us, so it felt amazing to get to sit down together and talk. The other thing we spent on during the last two weeks were a few convince meals. We were having our moving sale it was much easier to send someone to grab some lunch. Plus, I had the kids with me and Ryan was working so seriously worth it!!! Other than that we did really well for our entire month. Not 100% like we have been in the past but able to save up some money for our anniversary trip! We are also still trying to eat out of the pantry so even though something may not "sound good" it's getting used! I couple of interesting combos but overall very happy with our results! Now the question is, will you be trying 30 days of no spending???
