It is the end of day 8 for me. It has been remarkably easy.
Today we took some friends on a one hour drive to help my brother do some drywalling at his house. We had lunch there. On the way home, we were starving just from all the work we had done. I really wanted a coke! Coke is like beer to me. I can't stand beer, but sometimes a girl just needs a Coke. 
But we managed to get home without stopping.
I had spaghetti planned for dinner, but then I remembered that we had corn casserole, pasta salad and carrot raisin salad in the fridge leftover from the night before. So we just pan fried some chicken and ate leftover sides instead. That was frugal because otherwise those sides would probably have hung out in the fridge for two more weeks when I finally would decide to throw them out. I'm pretty good about using up meats or freezing them, but sides are a different story.
I'm happy with the way our debt downpayment is going. We just switched from a 9% card to a 0% card for 15 months. The problem is that it comes with an initial 3% transfer fee. But 3% one time vs. 9% every month is a big difference. Still, that initial 3% is going to bother me.
I have a goal to have all this paid off within the year. At the rate we are currently going, I just might reach that goal.
Day 8 no spend challenge
