Groceries, shopping, and dining seem to be the biggest ones. It’s great you’re naturally having no-spend days!

I knew eating out was my weakness and this confirmed it! I try to have at least 1 or 2 no spend days each week and I’ve found that I don’t even have to try anymore! Not sure I’d attempt a month again though.

It’s definitely a good “end of the month” tactic to use to get yourself back on track to start over for next month. I’m sure a lot of people could benefit from a no-spend challenge where groceries are concerned; I know so many people with super stocked fridges pantries, and they end up throwing so much out because it goes bad.

Usually it’s around the end of the month for 3-7 days. It helps me use up groceries, refocus on my spending and bills and get back in the saving zone. It’s really not that hard if you have the right mindset and saves me a decent amount of money!

Then when I realize it’s been a week since I’ve gone grocery shopping, I get more motivated to try and extend it, haha.

I usually do no spend weekends or weeks and as long as I have food in the fridge and don’t have rent or bills to pay, I try not to spend anything.

I’ve tried with my parents, and there are just some things they refuse to budge on. 

That’s a perfect example of a great challenge! Super simple and not too restrictive.
