No-Spend

November 13th, 2014 at 03:46 pm

So the other day I wrote that it was going to be a no-spend day. That didn't end up being the case. I ended up actually going to the mall with a friend of mine and picking up a few things. I spent about $40 - $20 of which was covered by the surprise birthday money I found sorting through a pile of papers. The $40 was allocated to my misc. shopping budget for the month, so I'm still not overspending quite yet.

Picked up a pair of warm sweatpants. As the temperatures have dropped all week, I realized I only really have thin leggings, and that's not going to cut it. I work from home all day most days, and I don't want the heating bill to be through the roof. I also picked up a sweater for $5 (not bad at H&M!) and a fleece lined sweatshirt. Again, for warmth and comfort in the coming months Smile

Yesterday I went to the market and purchased a few food items. And then some beer to take to a friend's, as he cooked.

Today will be a genuine no-spend. Work, work, work at home. Then BF and I are making dinner tonight. It's been a while since we've had dinner at a restaurant. We've been really good about cooking and/or coordinating cooking with friends. Which has been awesome.

Even though the other day wasn't a *true* no-spend, I'm not too worried about putting more money toward debt. haha. Today I'll add another $5 to that. Progress!

    Hope it ok to mention that layering is a truly effective way to keep/stay warm. Leggings + knit slacks or sweat pant + warm, fuzzy socks + slippers lower torso. Upper is long sleeved T + sweater + infinity scarf. If you can tolerate a scarf or some type of head gear it's where you suffer the most heat loss. When it's minus 30C with wind chill @ minus 90, my secret of staying wonderfully warm are the two piece, pure silk, long johns which feel delightful next to your skin and are invisible beneath your clothes.

    I do a lot of layering as well Smile I just wanted one sweatshirt that's baggy enough to have another shirt under it - same with the pants (I'm sure two pairs of leggings would work, but I thought it might feel awkward. haha). And I looooove scarves.

    Never heard of silk long johns.... but I may have to look into them. That sounds amazing. Comfort is super important to me, and I can't imagine anything feeling nicer. Thanks for the suggestions Smile
