The first week of my spending fast went perfectly. I spent $44.82 at the grocery store, so I will be rolling over the remainder of my $50 budget to this week. I think it gets increasingly harder as the month goes on, so the more I can roll over the better. I don't feel the same struggle as I did when I did it last year. I would like to think it is because I am a stronger, better person but in reality it is probably because I'm doing the Nothing New 2011 Challenge and I already switched up my spending habits. I do miss the thrift store and can't wait to go back in March.
How is everyone else doing with the Spending Fast? Feel free to comment here or post on your blog, but I'm dying to know!

Why is this just week one? It's practically week two! I survived. I didn't do so well at the grocery store because we had been out of town the week before and had LOTS to replenish, but other than that, I'm quite proud of myself. Now it's the weekend, though, and that's usually where I go soft and want nothing to do with the kitchen. You're right, though, this year is much easier than last year. I think I set up a lot of good habits last year that have rolled into help me this year. Cami, you're changing my life, one spending fast after another! (And while we're at it, I like to think of it as more of a spending cleanse than a fast. I feel so rejuvenated when it's all over!).
