COLD TURKEY - Duchess - 01-07-2013
Could you go thirty days without spending a dime on anything that wasn't a necessity? Keep in mind, I don't consider Starbucks a necessity, you all know exactly what I mean by necessity.

I guess I could if I was in jail, but even then I'd probally spend my commissary money on hooch and smokes.
RE: COLD TURKEY - username - 01-07-2013
I'd be hard pressed to go a day much less 30. When you think about all the crap that we have in our lives that isn't really essential, it's staggering.

What's the payoff for doing so?
A gentlemen's bet? Absolutely not.
My child's life? Probably, yes.
All in perspective.
RE: COLD TURKEY - Maggot - 01-07-2013
I do that all day long, its everyone else that spends my money.
RE: COLD TURKEY - Jimbone - 01-07-2013
I do this exact thing once a year. Gas and groceries only.
Just to prove to myself that I can.
RE: COLD TURKEY - ramseycat - 01-07-2013
I could. Probably. Maybe.
Never mind. I can't do it.
RE: COLD TURKEY - QueenBee - 01-08-2013
Not right now. I probably could. But at this point in my life, no. Depends on what a necessity is. I am assuming under this scenario, paying rent and bills are OK.

Any beer or wine in those groceries?

Funny you should ask... I have already done my wine buying for the year, just picked up the order this weekend. Those charges will hit with this statement.
I usually do my cold turkey month after the holidays (usually February cycle as it is the shortest). But now that I think about it, it's gas, groceries, and lunch at work. I don't brown bag it.

What's a typical work lunch for you?

3 martinis.
j/k
I usually have a mid-sized meal... cup of soup and a sandwich or soup and salad. There's a pizza place not far that I might get a stromboli once in awhile.. but usually just a slice or something when we go.

Do you like bold reds, or something a little lighter?
