We ended up getting a few things for free again and most for cheap.  I also got the House Wash and Batteries for free at Menards because I had rebates to use!  What really dinged us this week was those darn softball players fundraising door-to-door.  Of course they would come during no spend month and want to sell us a $20 coupon card, right?

Well, what are we left with after Week 2?

$22.68

We spend $39.82 this week!  Granted, $20 of that was to those softball players, but still!  Two weeks left on just $22.68?  I don't know that it will happen.  We still have two birthday presents to buy, as well as Easter...  Lee and I have talked about just giving it another shot next month instead, but we haven't really decided what we are doing yet, so I will keep going at it like this :)

Starting Balance: $100

Week 1 Spending: $37.50
Week 2 Spending: $39.82

Remaining Balance: $22.68

Oi...have a great day!

XOXO
