Monday i had absolutely no money on me, I put all my change in my snowflake jare and then took out a $20.00 from the atm only to be used for emergency. I was determined not to spend a dime. So I packed my lunch and snacks and took a big thermos of coffee with me to work everyday. It wasnt easy especially yesterday when my thermos fell out of the car when i opened the door so i didnt have coffee all day. It sure felt good last night when i showed my husband the 20.000 never was spent. Wont get throught the weekend though son needs a haircut and i need to bring some things to my mom in the hospital but i am going to do this every week!! (except break the thermos!)

Way to go! I know I would have broken down and bought coffee if I had to go all day with none. I just can't do it. Even though, I only allow myself one cup a day (I am expecting with #3 due in FEB), but I have to HAVE that one cup.

Now, you can snowflake whatever is left over from the weekend to your snowflake jar and just watch them add up.
