It would make sense to use things already paid for. And the paying bills makes sense too. I want to try to do at least a couple no spending days a week, and wanted to be sure I had some basics down before I approach my husband with the idea. :) Ahh, okay.

For me, a no-spending day means we don't spend any additional money. So food we've already bought, gasoline we've already bought, utilities we've already used, etc. are exempt. This weekend, I drove the car to the recycle center and thrift store to drop off a car load of stuff (round trip was about 6 miles). That's the only driving we did. All the food we ate was already in our cupboards, and I don't count that (but if we had gone out to eat, that would have counted as spending). I didn't pay any bills this weekend, because we didn't have any due. But if I had written a check for the mortgage, or utilities, I wouldn't have counted it, since that's money we have to spend every month, regardless of how many no-spending days we have. We didn't acquire anything new this weekend, except the fix-a-flat, and we got rid of a lot of stuff. So I'd say it was a good weekend :) Hi Kelly,

And do you pay bills? Or do you just not whip out the credit/debit card/cash/checkbook? Do you just not acquire anything new, or do you completely not spend anything, even to pay bills. Thanks, Kelly Hi Frugal Babe,
