February No-Spend Month Challenge: Day 4 Recap

Good evening, savvy savers! So for Day 4, I challenged you all to #Choose30! So did you all stop and think, “is there anything I need to change?”

I did. I have decided to take this next thirty days and work on myself, by way of maintaining a product, effective morning routine. 

Each morning I would like to:

• Wake up at 6:30 am.
• Walk my fur babies.
• Eat breakfast.
• Read my devotional.
• Take My vitamins.
• Shower, dress, and have a cup of coffee, by myself.
• All done before 7:30 am!

I want to have myself “fixed,” before I can fix my family each day. While this may not sound like a lot, for me this is a huge thing! Some days I spend so much time fixing things for work, my home, my family, and my husband… that it’s nearly 10 am before I can stop and worry about me! Hopefully this will soon change!

As well today, I was also able to accomplish:

1. I woke up at 6:30, walked my fur babies, showered, & dressed to my shoes, (just sans shoes indoors, as we’re a no-shoes indoor household!) (Thanks, Flylady!)
2. Worked on my daily Motivated Moms Planner.
3. I finished one days work of work-week, clerking assignments.
4. I read part of a new review book.
5. I finished today’s Day 4 No-Spend Challenge!
6. I enjoyed a Free Chik-fil-a- frozen latte!
7. I cooked from my pantry, three times.
8. I walked for three miles!
9. I finished all of my daily blog posts on time!
10. Read my daily devotional.
11. I cleaned out my linen closet and makeup drawers! 

So today I saved:

• I was able to subscribe to a new, free magazine subscription, which will have a combined savings of $11.00.
• I completed 2 surveys online via Ipsos-iSay, and earned a $1.00 towards my next Amazon gift code.
• I eat at home three times today, saving our family $8.91. 
• I recycled, upcycled, and composted one bins of deluge, and saved $0.25, the cost of 1 trash bag. 
• I enjoyed a free Chik-fil-a frozen latte, for free, a savings of $2.99!
• I received $23.34 worth of product review items, which can be placed in my home gift closet!
• I used a gallon of milk from my deep freeze, and saved $3.98 from having to run to the store for milk!
• I also did not watch cable tv, and saved $3.68 by doing so.

So, overall today my family saved: $55.15

This months savings goal remaining: $702.60

Hopefully today’s challenge will have helped you to start thinking about more in your life that simply surviving in the day-to-day world! Until tomorrow’s challenge!
