I already back on! My offical quit date is 8/14...I leave for the beach again that night after work. I hope to keep it up in a modified state when I return.

Back on the wagon this week! I went off for a big shopping spree yesterday (I call $480 worth of groceries for $60 a shopping spree! ) But now we are VERY WELL stocked up on everything! And I have coupons for free bread - so all I should have to buy is milk and eggs.

Gotta get DD a haircut and brow waxing for us both next weekend, but I'll try to make that $$ on auctions this week.

Let's get back to it, ladies! $$$$

I am going on my first one Sunday!!!! I have been trying to start one for the last 2 weeks, but with a few family emergencies it was just not feasible.

I am stocking up for my husband with the Mt. Dew deal at Target and come Sunday I have enough groceries for a minimum of 2 weeks!!! And I filled up today so I should not need gas, I am hoping to make it the entire two weeks without spending a penny! We shall see, I can't wait to see how much money I save!!!!

Im joining in on your spending fast. My brother is getting married next month and he lives in Illinois and i live in Arkansas so its a 13 hour drive and with the price of gas and 3 kids to feed on the way up im gonna need a good chunk of money. I already have plans to stay with my Dad while im up there so dont have to worry about food or a place to stay. I can probably do it for $300 but that will be cutting it close and i dont want to get 3/4 off the way home and run out of gas money, LOL. So thats it no more spending for me. Of course there are you basic neccisities that i will have to get but other than that thats it. Im not going anywhere im staying at home so i dont have to spend money on gas. I have tons of chicken and pork chops in the fridge so we are going to be eating alot of that.

OK...so far so good although I do have to break a little tomorrow. A friend of mine in Ohio just had a baby so I am going to mail her a package. Now that being said I pulled out of my "baby stash" for the gifts and made my own card so all I have to do is pay for postage. I think that constitutes a necessity purchase (right?!?!)

And I sold something on Craigslist today to make up for it.
