Find out what The Experiment is...
I was thinking it might be good do post about this each week, thus the part two. Last week, I was home a lot. I had a headache most of the week and actually spent two days in the bed with it. Thankfully, it is gone now and life is getting back to normal (whatever normal may be).
Since I stayed home most of the week, I didn't' have a lot of opportunity to spend frivolously. I did go to work at church Thursday and Friday and didn't stop at Starbucks or Chick Fil A so there is $32 in not spending. We had three of our grandchildren Friday evening through Saturday evening. Often times I just buy dinner (pizza or other fast food) when they are here. I did do that Friday night, in part because of the headache. Saturday, I decided we were not going to spend money on dinner... I would actually cook. :) So because we didn't spend money on going out we probably saved... hmm...well, Friday we ate at Subway, and I spent $41(those subs add up fast). So I will say I saved $40 by not eating out on Saturday. Also, today, I had an appointment first thing this morning then went to Target. Our Target has a Starbucks inside.... it smelled soooo good, but I didn't get anything. There's about $4. I was tempted again to get the two books I didn't get last time -- but I didn't. Not sure I can or should count those so I'm not adding them in. So we have $32, $40 and $4. A total of not spending $76! :)
Desires Not Spent: $76
Needs Met: 4 pairs boys Toughskins jeans, 1 month (or more) Target diapers

Just FYI (from one loyal CFA lover) you can use expired coupons at CFA, and I mean REALLY expired! You can use multiple coupons at a time, in one transaction. And, you let me know if your CFA gives you any grief about it!! I've got your back. :)
Interesting, where do you get said coupons... I miss CFA
