Well, Wednesday was a No-spend day, but unfortunately yesterday wasn't. I splurged a bit and bought a videogame. I had a coupon for $5 off, and there's a $5 rebate, but it still was $40 after those. My birthday is coming up soon though, so I will use the money I get for that to reimburse me for the game. DH and I ate out as well. I will reimburse myself for that out of birthday money as well. My paycheck yesterday was bigger than expected due to holiday pay. I'm not sure why though, because I didn't work on Labor Day. Oh well.

I'm also about to write a large check on Monday to renew our car insurance. I searched around when I got the renewal notice though, and our company is still the best deal for us. We use Geico. It's at least $150 less per year than the others quote us. This is a necessary expense though, just like my rent and electricity. Internet... not so much, but DH runs his own home business that largely uses the internet, and I have to have it for school, so I suppose that is a necessity for us after all. Especially since we live in a small town that has no public places to use it, the library is the size of a closet, really. Plus, my college is 30 miles away, so it's not practical to drive there to use it.

Anyways, I intend for today to be a no spend day. I will eat at home for all meals and take my own snacks to work. DH and I are hoping to see a movie at the theater next week (we have free tickets), but I'll have to try to eat before, because last time we tried to bring our own snacks (healthier than what they offer), they insisted on searching purses before letting people in the theater, so we left. That was months ago.

My challenge totals haven't changed since Tuesday.

Previous: $157.00
Today: +$0.00
Total: $157.00

Whoops, I also just remembered I spent about $20 this week renting a television series from Movie Gallery. I really wanted to see it, and it was around $50 to purchase, so I just rented the season for $20. That was bad, I know. I'm going to stop carrying any credit cards with me and only have cash, that when it's spent, oh well.
