We've got lots to do today, mostly boring errands though. We're beginning a spending
freeze for the month of January, so watch out for some different posts as we find
creative ways of not spending money! The rules are simple, we can buy:
food (and necessary toiletries, cleaners)
gas
and that's it really. I'll be honest, a month of this sounds like a challenge,
especially if I find myself in a thrift store. I guess the key is to avoid unnecessary
stores altogether.
For now, I'm leaving you with this, a beautiful home found via Bolig.
Beautiful home. I like how the black floor in the kitchen looks with all the white. Also Happy New Year, have a great day with your family! .
ReplyDeleteLovely place...and oh my, I so know what you mean re. the spending freeze...we need to too. Nightmare! Happy New Year to you and your family x
ReplyDeleteyour spending freeze is completely inspiring. i believe we'll do the same.
ReplyDeletebeautiful home...happy new years!
brilliant dining room floor!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in serious need of a spending freeze as well. Last year was insane!
ReplyDeleteBut it's a harsh task. Good luck!!
And I'm in love with simple kitchens.... How serene and nice!
Love that interior.
ReplyDeleteYou taunt us!
Spending freeze sounds like a great idea. Except the thing I spend most of my disposable cash on is having lunch when I am out. That would technically count as food but it's pretty frivolous.
I'm excited to see your no-spending inspired posts.
Looking forward to see your new inspiring posts!
ReplyDeleteThis one hurt, I mean the photos! : D
Happy new beginning and good luck with the spending freeze, so much needed at ours too!
I think that is a good idea for lots of people!
ReplyDeletethis home is stunning!
ReplyDeletegoodluck with the spending freeze! I think we will have to do that too after all we had to spend for christmas!
happy new year! xo
I imposed a spending freeze when i was in americorps making $60 a week! avoidance is key.
ReplyDeleteHhmmm, I need a spending freeze as well. But in January ? Here in Belgium that's when we have winter sales. So it might be next to impossible to maintain any serious financial restraints...
ReplyDeleteWe are doing the same thing. I want to see how little we can get by on. It's not easy though. All the best!
ReplyDeleteoh yes! we are doing the same - but for two months.. it makes me feel free, kind of! :)
