I start my no spend on Black Friday morning and ends the following year on Black Friday. I don’t eat out I make my food and coffee at home, when I have doctor’s appointments all day I bring a lunch and lots of water in a cooler. I make everything from scratch even my bread from wheat berries, I find that now that I don’t eat outside the house these last 3 years I haven’t been sick with stomach issues. I control what goes into my food and save money, it’s a win, win.

Back in 2021 I did a no spend January that turned into 6 months very quickly. I was also doing a deep declutter both of these combined showed me the items I truly valued. It wasn't until I got a new job in Aug 2021 that I allowed myself some new tops for interviews & that new job. This was also when I realized that I'm comfortable in a graphic tee & hoodie, but I feel sexy in my court clothes. You find yourself when you challenge yourself.

I will be starting my first ever no spend January 1st of 25. I actually really enjoy scratch cooking and make it instead of buy it challenges. I've been able to replace items I would normally spend a great deal on week over week with cheaper homade, and usually tastier and healthier versions this way. I'm not good at saying no.......to myself or the kids, I mean the money is there, what does it really hurt, right. I want to change my mindset permanently. I find we are in a constant cycle of donating clothes and other items to local charities. Donating no longer used items is, of course great, but the fact we donate almost monthly tells me we need to get control over our spending. Most of my friends do a huge whole home clean out and donation biannual. Doing it this much means we are purchasing stuff we do not really need, and ultimately quickly get rid of. My other overall goal is getting a real emergency fund built up for my family, and teaching my children and myself to be more fiscally responsible.

I’ve been trying to cut down my spending for awhile now, but I think this idea of a no spend month is great. I am going to try it in January 2025. Another “ month” idea is to not spend on one cycle of my one credit card that I use more for my”wants”. I have another credit card that is for my “needs”. It just would be another way of counting a month in time vs a calendar month. If this works well, I will do it on some other months this year as well. 🤞🤞🤞 Thank you for the great tips! I am saving this video for sure.

I do this every January into Febuary. It is a great way to boost savings: short/long term, emergency funds, or to obtain a current goal. I plan ahead in December to get myself mentally & positively psyched up. It is so worth it. The growing pains of denying those little pleasures equal a priceless sense of pride in a well done savings total! You got this.

I'm in. For as long as I can successfully do it. I'm planning to be debt free by the end of 26. I actually deleted door dash last week which was a big deal because I'd already paid for the year of "free" delivery. However each order still cost and you have to tip. I'll also delete amazon once my last few orders come.

Due to recently allergies, I have gone all year without eating out! It’s hard for me to find things that are safe anyways, so it’s easier to make my own foods and stay at home. My family has eaten out a little bit but we have saved probably thousands of $$ by doing this! It’s crazy how much eating out/getting coffee adds up.

Hi Jennifer 👋 I just recently discovered your channel, and I LOVE IT!!! I think I've been binge watching for the last 3 days, and every video makes me more conscious about what I do with my money and motivates me to take control as opposed to letting influence, pointless trends and artificial "status" spend my hard earned money. I'll be joining you for no-spend January!!! P.S. I loved your videos about Aldi, as this is where I shop (and I'm not going back to overpriced posh...ish supermarkets here in the UK).

My goal for No Spend Month is to just stop being wasteful and buying my feelings lol I want to do more or something more different in that time. I use to spend so much time outside and enjoying life in general, and now I'm buying stuff to replace that feeling instead of just doing the things I use to enjoy

I am wanting to do a no spend Jan., however I have a dear friend coming to visit for a few days. I think i will start my no spend the day after she leaves. I did a no spend last Jan. I liked the challange. I had a couple bumps in the road but overall it was good. I want to do this to be able to pay down debt! It is great support to know others are doing it too. I hope you will do more posts on this throughout the month. We can all journey together and share thoughts and ideas! I LOVE your decluttering advice!!!
