Yep, today was a no spender. I haven't had one in quite a while. Today my nephew came over to play with the kitten and we watched The Bee Movie (borrowed from the library). Then I drove him to his Little League game, where I hung out with my mom.
Afterwards, my nephew went with my mom & I went to the park for a 2.6 mile walk. It felt great.
After that, I stopped back at my parent's house, because I promised my nephew I'd play Wii with him. Spent an hour doing that while my mom ran a few errands. (My sister, who is my nephew's mom, was at work today).
After that, I came home, got a shower, make myself meatloaf muffins, baked fries and a tomato salad.
Now I'm cleaning up and organizing and watching tv. Tomorrow will be more cleaning and laundry, with a walk at a different park. I will be spending for gas, though.
I have several outings planned for this upcoming week, but I'm trying to keep my entertainment spending low. We'll see how that goes.
Tuesday, my work group is going out to dinner with a peer from a site in a different state. He doesn't know anyone here, so we're trying to keep him company in his off time. I'm hoping I can keep my dinner bill under $10.00.
Wednesday, a group of coworkers from my old department are heading out to a local pub. We have reservations for the upstairs deck and we plan to enjoy cheap drinks, dinner, and good company. I'm hoping to keep my bill under $15.00
Thursday night, I'm meeting my sister and some of her friends at a different pub. This night could probably be accomplished for under $15.00.
Other than those outings, my entertainment will have to be free. I'm planning on taking food to work, and entertaining myself at home or at one of the great parks around my house.
Busy Day, but no $ Spent

Sounds like a good plan! Eating out with friends with a predetermined price allotment has worked well for us. Did you make yoru barbecue muffins? I'm anxious to hear how they turned out because your recipe with the stuffing mix has been a fast fave here at my house!
