Day 12 of No Spend July

Day 12

Happy Birthday David



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:

It is a new week! So far I am at $0
Are you joining in on the FUN? How are you doing?

Free Gatorade at Lowe's


My Fabulous reader Courtney Left this on my facebook page!

15 bottle case of Gatorade for $9.97 (the cases are marked with the "$10 off..."). Includes a card for $10 off your next purchase of $50 or more at Lowe's. We were going to spend that so we bought the case, brought it to the car and opened it to get the ...$10 card (looked like a gift card, just laying in the case), went in and used it on our purchase. So the gatorade was free!

A Sneak Peak at CSN

As most of my readers know, I have a difficult time parting with money unless it is on a quality product that will last a very long time. When David and I moved into our home, we did not rush to furnish it. Moving from a one bedroom apartment to a four bedroom house we were seriously lacking furnishings. I really wish I had known about CSN, a collection of several online stores back then! I started my shopping in their bed section. I found a bed that I absolutely adore. I can't wait to show it to David when he gets home from work.

After looking at the bedroom furniture, I moved on to another store. CSN is a company that has has over 200 stores! Yes, 200 stores! I had so much fun looking at the items in each store. My favorite store was the store dedicated to Rugs. I have been looking for two rugs for my kitchen for quite a while. I found a few "good" ones, but nothing FABULOUS that matched my black and white theme. I just found the PERFECT rug at CSN's Rug store.


Isn't it fabulous! I really can't wait for it to arrive, I will let everyone know how it is in terms of quality and if it matches the description online. I really can't wait, I have gone months without kitchen rugs. While your waiting for my next post, go and check out CSN! You will find more than one fabulous item.
