Vacation, birthdays, graduations and GAS PRICES are making for an expensive Spring for us! How about you? It’s time for a NO-SPENDING competition to finish out the month. Who’s with me?! Here’s what we do.
1. Get a gift card to a grocery store you shop at. Spend no more than the amount you’ve allowed yourself on the gift card. Bonus: Fareway has coupon in their ad this week for $5 off when you spend $100, so I plan to get a $100 gift card and make it last 3 weeks.
2. Use up what you have on hand and entertain the family at home as much as possible.
Ready, Set, Go!

Get the offer HERE. I haven’t tried this yet personally, but looks good to me.

The first 100 participants will recieve a free kite to assemble and fly. See more info HERE.
