The other day I bought ice for .94 and it got me to thinking I should invest in ice cube trays and make my own ice. I spent $3.25 on 6 ice cube trays. It takes almost 3 days to make ice in our tiny freezer. This morning we are defrosting the freezer to see if it helps the process.
I have also bought two packages of ice pops which are not a necessity and 9.00 worth of bread and produce. The produce could be counted as a necessity but is it really? I am going to say no and count it in my spending.
Total spent so far this week
ice .94
ice cube trays 3.50
produce and bread 9.00
ice pops 5.00
total so far on my no spending week 18.44.
I am not giving up though. While this is not a no spending week it is way better than I usually do. I am going to keep trying.

No spend week spending????what???
Ok today is the first day of my challenge to myself not to spend and I have already spent money.
I bought a tank of propane for $22.00. I am not going to count that because that is a utility for us since we live in the 5th wheel. With out propane I cant cook or take a warm shower.
I also bought a bag of ice for 94 cents. We have a tiny fridge with no place in the even smaller freezer for ice cube trays so I bought ice. Now I wonder if I can find space for ice cube trays?? I do consider ice a non necessity so I will count that in my total spent on my no spending week.
I might be able to buy 3 or 4 ice cube trays and make my own ice for the price of a bag or two of ice. We will have to see about that.

No shopping week
This week I have challenged myself to a no shopping week. I am going to try to go all this week without buying anything that is not a necessity. I also challenged my friend Christina and she took me up on it. Do you want in on this challenge too?
This is what we are doing.
No shopping except for what we consider absolute necessities.
If we do think we have to buy a necessity we must tell each other what we are buying or bought.
IE, milk or bread or what ever.
I will post what I buy if I buy anything so you can all see how I am doing.
The reason I am doing this is I am trying to break the consumer hold that shopping has on me. I do not want to have the dreaded disease of affuenza any more. I am going to shake it and become a good steward of the resources God has given me.
