Anyone up for a May spending freeze?

[Crisco Salad]

We've got a ton of huge expenses coming up in the next few months. I really need to reign in my spending. Particularly on food. 

Is anyone up for doing a spending freeze in May with me? 

My goals are to pack my breakfast and lunch every work day. No spending on clothes for myself (J and the babies are as needed though I don't think they need anything) or any other household items unless absolutely necessary for packing and moving.

I'm with you. I'm striving to be better at managing frivolous spending.

Yes I have an addiction to buying fabric and sewing patterns.

Oh lanta, I've fallen down this rabbit trail too.

Yes.

Yes, I need to put restrictions on my spending. I've been lazy about not taking food to work. I usually allow 1 meal a week eating out at lunch. I've been closer to 2-3 times.

But if it's on sale and I use a coupon it doesn't count, right? Lol

I think we need this as well, I'm in!

[piccyami]

Me, too. This weekend was expensive and I know we have some big expenses coming up.

We need to stamp down the unnecessary spending, we have a lot coming up in May (like my sister and her family visiting for a week).

I'm going to give this a try. We spent a lot this month, that' we didn't necessarily need to.
