Can we do it? Probably not but were gonna try.

So my husband and I had a discussion last night about money. Money, we really like it, we collect it and guess what?!?! We also like to spend it. Im sure you get that.

Well in our discussion we decided it might be fun, and helpful to our bank account, if we did not spend money.

How does one live without spending money? I'm thinking that they don't, they die of hunger, or exposure to the elements or something.

Well we don't want to die, but we wondered if we could do it...Not buy anything for the whole month of February. Could you do it?

We have to pay bills, so that is spending, but we decided bills do not count, so we are gonna pay those, we don't wanna lose our house, or be without electricity or gas.

But we set a goal to not do any shopping and spend any money in February.

I am sure you may be worried that we might just starve. Do not worry because we are collectors of food, not only do we have lots of food storage in our garage, but we have tons of food crammed in our cabinets, pantry, fridge, freezer, and our outside freezer. Sometimes we find things at the bottom of our freezer we should have eaten years earlier.

So on the food front, we are gonna be creative and try to use up most if not all of the food we have had hanging around for way too long. We are actually thinking this might be fun. Creative meals are always fun, dont you think.

So now that we have this new goal, all I think about is shopping. I wanna buy, buy, buy.

In fact I just thought...What about Valentines? I have to get my kids and husband valentines...My kids need the ones to bring to school too. I guess we are gonna have to do hand made, home made things. Sounds like a lot of work. Hmmm. Wish me luck.
