If you’ve never participated in a no spend challenge, then you might be wondering what it is and how to do one. The beauty of it is, you get to set the rules and decide how it will work.
Know your "why" for a no-spend challenge — whether it's to save money or reduce clutter, staying focused will help you succeed!
You need to think through your goals for the challenge and plan out your rules, like how long will it last and what you are allowed to spend money on.
You may want to do a grocery trip before the challenge starts and stock up on a few things you know you will need, but try not to panic buy.
If you do get the itch to go out, check Facebook for local free events. Your library is also a great resource where you have access to books, movies and more.
Find a free printable no spend tracker and print it to put up on your fridge. If you make a mistake, don’t let it ruin the whole challenge, get back up the next day and try again.
