Just print a copy of the page you prefer! A floral background just makes it seem more fun, right? Or if you prefer there is also a plain black and white one.
They both come in a few different patterns to make it more exciting. One is for January 2021, and the other is a blank calendar for any month.
To set me up for success, I’ve put together a free printable tracker for the month you can download below. For example, if we ran out of our regular hand soap but had bar soap, that would work just fine. (We don’t usually use paper towels anyway, but this was the first example I could think of.) Even for necessities, I try to use something else in place of it first. I consider toilet paper a necessity but paper towels a convenience. For example, if we were out of toilet paper, I would buy it, but we were out of paper towels, I wouldn’t. If it isn’t a need, we won’t be purchasing it.During the no-spend month we will plan not to eat out, order take out, or get coffee out at all. We don’t usually eat out very much to begin with, and during covid, it’s been even less since we’ve been going fewer places, but I am guilty of getting coffee out.No eating out (meals, coffee, take out, etc).You could also just set your grocery budget lower than usual or make sure not to buy any convenience foods.
Depending on your pantry or freezer stock, this might not work well for you. If we want something that is not necessary, I will make it from scratch with what we have, or we won’t have it. (We have a chest freezer that fits quite a bit.) So, I will make sure I use all that stuff first and only purchase things like fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and dairy products during our no spend month.
