No Spend Day

May 2nd, 2012 at 06:35 am

If only all the days could be like this one... no on in the family spent any money at all.

Well, not money I count. The only transactions I participated in today involved gift cards that were long ago paid for. I used the leftover $9 on a Costco gift card to get some gas, and I bought a Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks with a gift card. No money left any of our accounts, however.

I should specify that we don't track gift card spending. We track the money we spent to purchase the gift card and that's it. So once a month, I might put $15 on my Starbucks card. I deduct that from the food budget right then.

I'm really into my "cleaning everything out" mode, and I have a stack of things for either ebay or half.com. One thing that always hold me up is the postage/shipping costs. I worry and usually mess it up. So tomorrow I'm off to look for a postage scale.
