No Spend Month Begins

After work today I swung by the ATM and got my money for the month. $160, cash. I had to do multiples of 20, so I ended up with $160. I’m still going to try to keep myself to $150, though.
I also picked up a few recipes online that I should be able to make in bulk to feed myself for several days without spending a huge amount of money. This weekend I’m thinking about making lentil tacos and Zen Habit’s Best Soup Ever.
So far I’ve spent nothing today, and I have no plans to go out tonight, so I think I’ll be alright for day one. I even went to the ATM that doesn’t charge any fees, so no $2 was taken from me before I even began.
And so we begin what I expect to be a very interesting month.
[...] end of No Spend Month is rapidly approaching and I’m doing alright at living within my $160 budget for the month. [...]
