7 day spending challenge

okay, so my friend kasey and i are going to try a seven day spending challenge starting on monday morning going through sunday night. this may not sound like a lot to most, but for me this will be a challenge. no eating out, except a pre-planned dinner with the kids i used to babysit for to celebrate their graduation, no starbucks (what in this world will i do, probably lose a few pounds), no giving into cravings for dinner, no random trips to target, and absolutely do not step foot in the mall.

here are a few of the things i am going to do:

* eat lots of things out of my pantry
* cook meals all week at home
* use anything that i am running out of sparingly
* go to the grocrey store saturday to make sure i have bread/essentials
* fill up my gas tank on sunday
* already purchased crystal's wedding present (so i don't even have to buy that)
* if i feel the need to go do anything outside of the house, watch a movie at home with friends or go on a walk or go to the pool (ALL FREE)

okay, i'll post next sunday and let you know how it goes:)

oh, and the best part:: every time i feel the need to go buy something or want to eat out, i am going to pray!
