Day 3 of No Spend July


For the entire month of July I am hosting a “No Spend July” here at Stylish Saving!


As many of you know, I am a first grade teacher which means I don’t get paid in the summer. My husband and I have a great budget so we factor this in. After scoping out my pantry and linen closet I have decided to challenge myself to a “No Spend July.” The only exception to this is David’s 29th birthday on July 12th, we will be hosting a birthday party for friends and family. My goal for the party is $30 for everything including food/drinks and gift.

Here’s My Goal for the month of July
- Spend no more than $20 a week on gas/milk/produce groceries (using gift cards for as much of this as possible)
- Find creative recipes to utilize all of the food in my pantry/freezer
- Throw my husband an AWESOME 29th Birthday Party for 20 guests
- Enjoy as many vegetables from my garden as possible
- Find fun free entertainment
- Still “rock” free deals or deals that I pay pennies out of pocket. I still have RR’s to roll, Up+ and ECB’s!

What Will I do with the Money We Save?
- All of the money we save will go in an account to serve as an emergency fund for our family.

How You Can Join in on the Fun!
- Decide to spend as little as possible during the month of July.
- Get creative with your pantry and freezer
- Spend time, not money with/on your family


Each day I will post my menu, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will also post what we spent. Please leave comments if you are joining in on the fun or just leave words of encouragement for David and I! You can also grab the no spend July button on this page in the upper left hand corner and post it to your blog if you would like!

My Progress: Yesterday, I spent $3.49 to make a Broccoli Salad for mother-in-laws 4th of July Party. So far I am at $7.48 for the week!
Are you joining in on the FUN? How are you doing?

Sobe Heads or Tails Game


Just a reminder that you should be playing the "Sobe Heads or Tails Game" each day! Save your BOGO coupons for the BOGO Sobe deal at CVS next week! I LOVE FREE SOBE!
I am playing each day! I have one BOGO coupons, Free Sobe Coupons (in the mail) and I even won a free Tee Shirt!

No Spend July Day: 1 Tequila Chicken

Tequila Chicken


4 Chicken Breasts
1 cup Tequila ( I only use Jose Curevo)
2 cups crushed Tortilla Chips
1 cup Salsa
1 cup Ranch Dressing
2 Cups Cheese ( I shred my own, it is much cheaper)




Marinade the chicken breast and tequila over night in a covered dish

Grill Chicken until completely cooked, set aside


Combine ranch and salsa in a small dish, stirring until well mixed

Crush Tortilla chips. The easiest way to do this is to place chips in a sealed bag, run a rolling pin over the chips until coarsely crushed.




Poor chips into a 13 x 9 in pan

Place chicken on top of chips

Spoon a generous amount of salsa/ranch on top of chicken

Sprinkle cheese on top of salsa/ranch mix

Place in your broiler until cheese browns

I serve this delicious with sides of salsa, sour cream and salsa/ranch mix

We ate it too quickly for me to remember to take a photo! Sorry!

It is SO yummy! I use fat free ingredients! Which makes me feel much better about serving this meal!
