No spending for a week

So I have decided to not spend for a week. That's seven days with no food shopping or online shopping or going out anywhere which requires money.

So far this week it's been interesting to see where my mind goes and how the old habits pop up. I keep thinking of things I need to get or must shop for, but not being able to shop means I have to just pause and say to myself not now.

I have cupboards full of food and a well stocked freezer with more than enough for a month's worth of meals. Yet I keep thinking about going food shopping or that I would like to buy something that I don't have rather than just make meals out of the food I have already.

It's been nice not having to go to the shops or need to spend anytime waiting for online orders.

I will definitely keep doing this every few weeks as a way of just making do with what I have and learning to not buy so many random things.

It's been a challenge of self control saying no I don't need to buy that and just using what I have. Looking in the cupboards I have found so many sauces and stock cubes that I actually need to use up what I have. I have also found a secret stash of canned food under the stairs.

Should I spend double next week and treat myself all the money I saved this week could pay for a week of indulgence next week. I have passed up on the £5 a day spending on lunch and snacks when at work and so maybe next week I will have a really nice meal or take away.

Thinking of all the things I could buy I have still looked on Amazon 😊

Moving forward I will try and be more mindful of my spending and have a no spending week at least once a month or every few days scattered throughout the month.

Definitely give a no spending week a try and if you are feeling really brave a no spending month.

Until I've run down my cupboards and used up allot of what I already have I am continuing it on longer than a week.
