Whenever my Mom felt like she needed to tighten up her frugal belt and slow the spending, she'd announce that she was going on an "Austerity Plan" and there wasn't going to be anything going out but for the most extreme of essentials!!

I didn't post in here every day/week and that was likely my downfall. I think I might have gotten 12-14 no-spend days at most. *sigh* I hope to do lots better in September!
Austere August No or low spending

Re: Austere August No or low spending
Oh Janet, I'm not near as good as doing it all as my Mom was... I just do the best I can most days and hope that its good enough. Sometimes it is, and sometimes its not and those are usually the days I vent on here.alliesmama4 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2017 10:29 amGayle I am in the mind set of only my only except is food that can be bought if it is exceptional bargain and will save money in the long run..
