What is a no-spending month? It is a full calendar month with no spending other than for gas and groceries. Absolutely none.
That means no eating out, no fancy coffee, no evenings out. It also means time spent reading, enjoying quiet time, and pursuing your passions.
Is it easy? Not really, but it's not terribly difficult either. It does require some planning and research. Find activities in your city that are free. Become a tourist in your own town. That TBR you've been planning on getting through? This is the month to do it! Those DIY projects that have been waiting? See how far through the list you can get.
For DIY projects and crafting, you must already have the supplies on hand. Go through your list and make sure any supplies you need are purchased by March 31st. You can then utilize the entire month of April to achieve completion of those pesky to-do lists!
Over the next two months, I'll be posting tips and tricks on Frugal Friday leading up to No-Spend April. Trust me, your bank account will thank you for it!
Love,
Jerri
