31 Days of Nothing-Day 2
Today was much better. No money spent :-). Actually, Scott and the hubs both spent money, but they were gift cards, so that doesn't count in my book. I made dinner from stuff we already had, BUT I forgot to mention that I did NOT stock up at all, so this will be interesting. I want to plow through some of what is in my freezer AND my pantry, but I know I will end up buying groceries soon.
My school supply purchase plan this week is pencil sharpeners. Office Depot has nice hand sharpeners for .10 each, and I want the kids to each have their own for their work boxes since they break their pencil leads ALL the time and they have not taken to mechanical pencils. I am hoping that using better quality pencils will help. We have a MILLION free pencils, but they seem to come with leads pre-broken into a billion pieces so that no matter how well you sharpen them, they break immediately afterward. I am keeping my eyes on good quality pencils (Dixon Ticonderoga) at Office Depot and I'm holding out for them to go on sale at some point-maybe after school starts, which is the beauty of homeschooling-I can buy my supplies whenever I want.
