No-Spend Month

In July, we will be trying out the no-spend trend.  Aside from perishable food items, we are going to do our best not to spend anything during the month of July.  A couple of the best ways (we have found) to realize how much you spend is to (1) keep a log and (2) try not spending anything.  Whether it is a new mug, water bottle, jar, bag, candle, you name it; it all adds up.  By not spending, you can see how much you are able to save and the dent your purchases have made in the past.  July 1st will kick off our no-spend month, and we are interested to see what comes out of doing this.  We do have some gift cards floating about, but since they were gifts, we aren't counting those.

What are your thoughts on the "no-spend" trend?  Let us know!
