I love hearing from people and finding new blogs to follow. <br /><br />My money saving tip for 2018 is: if I'm looking for a household or clothing item that needs replaced, I first ask myself if it is something I can find at a thrift store. I recently lost a lot of weight and had to completely replace my jeans and pants. I bought nearly everything I needed at thrift stores and, of course, donated my things that no longer suited me. The world doesn't need to be manufacturing new stuff, we need to use up what we already have. <br /><br />I also resolve every year to do better at not wasting food. I've done fairly well this last year and will continue to keep doing what I can to reduce waste. I buy exactly the amount of groceries I need to get me through the week. Anything that's leftover in the fridge gets made into a frittata on Sundays, or fed to my 3 dogs. Everybody wins at my house.<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful 2018 everyone!<br /><br />Susan<br />www.freezerburned-suddenlysusan.blogpsot.com<br />Suddenly Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483813654827621158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-82566345001898273362018-01-06T14:57:46.520-05:002018-01-06T14:57:46.520-05:00Good Saturday Afternoon, Carol.

Like you, I am doing my best not to buy anything other than groceries during January. I am always tempted by after Christmas sales and then regret it later. I love seeing your pictures of your walk to the bus stop. We are cold here (8 for a low, 30's for a high and it has been windy) but thankfully, now snow. Other than walking the dog twice per day, we are staying in. I spend my afternoons preparing meals and freezing portions for another day. I hope you will enjoy your new book and the cookies you baked. Enjoy the remainder of the weekend.

Just paying taxes (last month) and my annual HOA and my professional licenses makes me broke already in January. So this helps me do it more intentionally and beware of bored or distracted "instant gratification" spending.

Far to easy to do that these days!! Also if I am keeping busy exercising or doing a hobby like reading or crochet (I believe I have enough yarn to keep myself busy for quite some time) I can save some real money!! I am going to try to keep tabs on my spending this year, I have let it go too long!! No spend January is a great idea!! Thank you so much for sharing!! <br />Joy Nissenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953967065835668137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-8479585156036184262018-01-05T10:19:12.247-05:002018-01-05T10:19:12.247-05:00I love your broader perspective on health in many ...I love your broader perspective on health in many areas. Always trying to achieve it and January is a time of reflection and review for me.<br /><br />Those flowers are so pretty and I wonder how they stay so lovely outside in the cold. Are they faux flowers? Either way, they would be a tempting purchase to me.GratefulPrayerThankfulHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912258806814037028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-11355716953627260422018-01-05T10:07:23.832-05:002018-01-05T10:07:23.832-05:00I think that is a great idea.

I didn't make it a no spend January - but I am definitely not spending this month -- because of what I spent last month! lol sandie Chatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-44740116358506089722018-01-05T09:43:21.379-05:002018-01-05T09:43:21.379-05:00It's definitely a no spending January for me. ...It's definitely a no spending January for me. I'm only making purchases like milk and eggs . My pantry is full and needs some emptying anyway. Moving things from the back of the shelves forward is a good thing to do. We don't have all the snow you do, but there is some on the ground. The thing we have is bitter cold with 0 degree temps and below 0 winchills. A good reason to not spend as I'll need the extra cash for utility bills which will be outrageous I'm sure. Take care and keep warm !I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-78653421376723733102018-01-05T09:16:13.460-05:002018-01-05T09:16:13.460-05:00Staying in, that's where I have been:) I love...Staying in, that's where I have been:) I love the warmth of my home but I have got to venture out today. Bank, Post Office and grocery store. I admire you for NO SPEND JANUARY, I have already blown it on some things I didn't need. Have a blessed day, stay warm and safe up there.
