Made it Through the Weekend

The weekend is finally over! Even though I made it through without buying anything, it was just as hard as I thought. The weekends are usually when I go out shopping, to the movies, out to dinner, etc. It felt like I had to turn down every option I could think of. I wasn't even able to see the last Twilight yet! My whole family has seen it already and I had to beg them not to tell me how it was. Going to see the Twilight is another thing I will be doing after this challenge. Another thing to add to my bad luck.... I ran out of deodorant. Luckily my mom is letting me borrow hers for the rest of this week. Hygiene is always one of my top priorities. Even though I wish I could spend money for my weekend activities, I really have learned that there are so many options that don't involve money, I just never took the time to think about them. This weekend I realized I spent more time outside and also with my family. This weekend I stayed in and cooked my own meals instead of going out to buy them. I actually even learned how to make my own coffee instead of going to McDonalds! I was really happy about that.  Hopefully from now on I will participate in more activities that do not involve money. So far, this challenge has opened my mind up to a different variety and actually how hard it is to not be able to spend money on every day things.
