 so My friends had a little intervention with me just now and It's about something serious Shopping addiction Um, I did really bad things last week, you know had a couple of Ulta orders, you know had a zaffle order, but like Justifying it like spring break is coming around the corner. So like I need a new swimsuit but anyways We are gonna try to go a whole week without spending like anything What's our like? What was our stipulations? Tipping our tunders and No, we can avoid ubers if we really need to okay, so we can't work and gas Gas if you have to like get to work. Yeah, okay, but like we all filled up. Do we yeah, so gas Okay, I was gonna fill up today filling up tonight. So and it starts tomorrow. So no gas. It starts tonight at midnight Actually, yeah, I will say that mine was was the third worst wait My mine was the second worst Chloe's was the worst, but she went to Miami this weekend. So like That's just fine that too Oh, yeah We're gonna try to get like a lot of things free a lot of us have movie pass So that's like a subscription that doesn't count, right? No, okay So like we can see like movies for free pretty much because it's like $10 a month We're already paying that we should like see what like UCF events are happening Tacos for free Where Oh my god But I do have so living at Katie we do have like meal plan So like money through Friday, we have meal plan, but like we don't have meal plan Dinner on Friday and Saturday and Sunday. I have frozen food in my mini freezer So I feel like I'll be good for the weekend and like we always have like leftover food From like the week and the big fridge up there in the kitchen. So I think we'll be good on food It's just gonna be really hard like coming home after happy hour and not wanting to go out and eat, you know I like going out to eat I really was looking forward to sushi this weekend like I wanted sashimi so bad I was like this is the weekend because I didn't have a last weekend Maybe next week it better be next weekend and you could go to Suicide and see if you're like close to a free bowl. I don't think I'm close to Convincing Like So we're gonna try to find like we pulls around it and like see what we can get for free and what we can finesse, you know But I don't know. I think I'm gonna be really bad We tried making a budget for me and it was very painful very painful, but I need that so so right now We're doing our research of like what we can get for free So I just found this blog post it says how to get free food just for joining basically if you just get apps Then you can get like free stuff. So let's see. Oh, we were talking about chilies So join the chilies rewards program and you'll get a 60 free points And we're not counting gift cards and I have a free chilies gift card and so does Katelyn So we might go to chilies. Wait, we could go Definitely Yeah, we definitely need to we could go there after happy hour I don't know I love the gift card thing. That's kind of a disadvantage because like you guys got gift cards, but like That is like I get money from my job. So like I Don't know. It's like it's a sketchy term. It's not coming out of our thing because the whole point Yeah, we're not spending our like money and I need to spend those gift cards anyways So I feel like now would be the time to spend those gift cards, you know I guess it's only fair if we get to like use our movie pass and stuff I guess I have a disadvantage because I have my groceries this week CPK get a free small plate just for joining Well, okay Wait, this one says Marvel slab download their app and get a free ice cream Marvel slab is like five dollars for one cup of ice cream. So that's a quite the deal That's pretty good, right? Moe is Southwest girl get a free cup of queso when you sign up Wait, that's not fair So we are trying to look for some free stuff and currently Katelyn is placing a spring break order because She needs to get that shipping in before spring break comes around which I totally feel that like I'm worried about like What if I like think feel like I need something for spring break, and I can't order it this week so we're out here day one of no spending and I realized I needed to ship my hard drive back because I got a replacement But it's okay because I think I'm gonna just ship it like after this whole thing is done because we're only doing it for a week I think it has to be returned within 20 days or something like that 30 days something like that So I think it'll be fine, but our friend Megan. She spent 350 on Mailing a letter So she spent that money, but we let that slide. Oh I had to print something at the library today, but I had night's cash So I didn't technically spend any money and it was only like 60 like eight cents or something And I had to go to my advising office. So wait, why the heck was it not free? I guess it's not free in the library. I think it's only free Wait, dude, what's that all night study, but I didn't want to walk there. No Why like you swipe your student ID, but it's free. Oh, yeah, it said it on the thing It said it was 68 cents. I don't know why it says. Oh, no, I was right. No. Yeah, that was free. Um, I Was worried though because it said it was money. I am craving sushi I think I told you guys like this last night, but I was going into the weekend thinking I was gonna get sushi this Again, so and I just saw a snapchat of Sushi, and I just really want it. Okay. I think that's my main thing right now Like I don't even have I don't even feel like I need a shop right now, which is great. Oh, I feel like I need a shop Yeah, I should have fulfilled it last night. Yeah, you really should have She was gonna order some stuff for spring break last night, but the pressure was too much I was on there like 1130 like I think so I was like, okay, I just need to like chill My main thing is like shopping. So the fact that I don't feel like I need to shop right now is you know, it's fabulous They're really liberating But we are gonna go eat meal plan we ate meal plan in the morning and we're gonna eat meal plan for dinner And Megan was like, oh should I come like it doesn't look that great I'm like dude like just calm like and she said she has a frozen food like she's a save up for the weekend That's what I'm saying. Like why would you take one of me to come to breakfast with him this morning? I was like, please wait till this weekend like we can eat lunch this week Something else. Yeah, just like using your your resources. Yeah with the weekend Yeah, cuz we don't have meal plan on the weekend. So that's why we're like frozen food Push it back eat out with your boyfriend. So you don't have to pay. But yeah, so that's day one. We'll keep you updated so today is actually National Margarita Day and She was about to go out and get some margs, but then she didn't even think that she had to pay for them And we got our ass All right, so guys it is day two and I am going to happy hour today And we usually well I usually go to play doughs before happy hour and just find something really quick But today's mission is to find something to wear in this closet. I Know, but I just didn't know what to wear like bottoms Everything like looked weird Well, I have like black jeans, but I remember like wearing my black jeans every time and you guys thinking it was too night night I think I might wear jeans today. Honestly. What about this? No, I can't wear my boobs right in that. I like they just don't I don't know and this is why I need to like buy Clothes All right, let's show Got that I played those last Happy hour for that happy hour, and then I couldn't find the bottoms. Okay. I don't know how you wear this Do you tie this around? Yeah? Yeah? I wore that for game day though, but it doesn't matter. It's not spring. It's spring semester and it's mustard. All right It's not even gold damn and this Kalen's suggestion was to tie it I did wear that with a white skirt and I didn't take a picture in it And I think that would be kind of cute so so that's all you got. These are your only options. Oh my god Thank you, so update we're gonna pregame and try not to spend money Okay, I think if we get in the situation where we're either gonna have fun and spend money or not I think yeah, yeah, like $15 the whole day. I mean sure each $15 is a lot But not including tips. Oh I have lift credits, but those are only $5 and it's never No Like go home Yeah, yeah Yeah, we're gonna be conscious of what we spent today, but we're just gonna alter a little bit I mean Charlotte apparently just got free tickets to food and wine. So she's gonna put buy food and wine So Slowly, I don't know what she's doing with her money over there Good morning guys, it is Saturday and it is day three of the no spend challenge And I am currently eating frozen food. I'm having some polyponeer. This is just from Trader Joe's I will say I had their butter chicken and it wasn't that great, but I'm really picky with my butter chicken So that's probably why um yesterday I do have a funny story So we took a lift because I had a credit the credits are only $5 Which I wish they were more because ubers are $20 credits and that would have covered my whole trip But the trip was going to cost $18 from with my promo code applied it would be 13 we had six people so we had to get an excel But anyway, so later that night I check and it says that like my ride was a hundred and fifteen dollars So my first thought was like, oh my god, what happened? Like why am I getting charged one hundred and fifteen dollars when it was supposed to be 13? so I ended up emailing lift and just telling them like what happened and They said it was like a mischarged thing or like something went wrong in the app So good thing I caught that when I did because I do not want to see that charge on my card So now they fixed it and it's back to 13 dollars and 13 dollars divided by like six people is like two dollars or something and honestly, that's all I spent yesterday because we got free food at the barbecue and It was like free drinks because it was happy hour and like all we had to do was tip So I'm still going strong and I am learning that like I don't need things that I think I need I think the hardest thing for me is that I follow so many bloggers and so many influencers and they're always being Sponsored or just sharing things that they love and I just want to buy it like on the spot I know it's only day three, but this whole no spend challenge really just makes me think more about what I'm gonna buy or just like what I actually need. So at least I'm getting something out of it and saving money So we got takeout at Chili's because I had a gift card. She had a gift card and I had a free kids meal With an adult entree, so she used Kaelin's entree to get her free meal. We are going strong But tonight we are probably gonna have to pay cover. So yeah, I don't think there's a way to get around that but Day four it is Sunday and They all just got free smoothies because you what joined we joined their club and said that our birthday was within the last 30 days Life hack it was Jamba Juice by the way. Did you get your CPK or did you not go? Okay, so you can also get like a free small play I think that's just like an appetizer at CPK if you sign up for their thing But yeah, do it like 24 hours Before you want to eat because I guess they didn't get their coupons and Del Taco has one now too Oh Del Taco you can get two grilled chicken tacos and their tacos are really good I mean it seems like a gross place, but Ryan is obsessed with it Oh yesterday we paid eight dollars in cover we ate chilies which was free. Oh, I made dinner home So basically what day I'm the only one that hasn't spent anything at all nothing Nothing cuz she's not having fun Working and she doesn't she doesn't have to be tempted with going out and having fun But yeah, so like I mean we probably wouldn't have gone out if it wasn't our friend's birthday There was two birthdays this weekend. So, you know gotta gotta support our gal pals over here So currently we've spent our lift drive on Friday. That was like two dollars split between all of us. So What else anyone? I would just sit in line and spend 50 dollars 50 actually no it's in there. I took 50 dollars cash But I only spent 30. Okay, that's why I thought so Charlotte did spend you know 15 You save money girl Actually fun, this is a funny story. So we went to chilies yesterday. I had two gift cards I already knew that I spent like some of my other one But I gave her the first one and she was like, oh, there's 50 cents more that you have to pay And I was like, oh like okay you thought like I have another one here you go and then she was like, yeah This doesn't have anything on it So Charlotte had to spot me 50 cents cuz I couldn't find quarters But yeah, I pretty much have 50 cents and then a $2 lift ride and then the $8 cover But yeah, that is day four and I feel like the biggest hump of this challenge is going through the weekend because obviously through the week We don't have to worry about what we're gonna eat and what we're gonna do for entertainment because like during the week You have like school and just other things to do, you know But the week is probably when I want to do most of my online shopping. Hey guys So it is day five of this challenge. We are two days short from ending this torture Week like I've said, it's definitely made me learn that if you actually think about like what you need Then you might not really need it So that's really great that it's like taught me that but spring break is coming up And I have like a couple birthdays that I need to order Presence for so it's just kind of like cutting it close, you know I it's like I need to order it before spring break So today there wasn't anything crazy that happened except Chloe got her nails done and that costed $28 She was the one that was like not spending anything and she finally blew her covers I feel like this week has been really great and all but I also feel like when it comes Thursday We're all gonna have like our carts ready to go like we've probably been online shopping I know I have been looking at boohoo and stuff for spring break. I don't know if this really helped like our Shopping habits, but like for the little things that like we may not need like oh I don't really need bubble tea, but like sometimes I get bubble tea to treat myself, you know I'm honestly surprised. I've been going for this long I thought we were gonna be over it like two days in especially because we started like super close to the week Hey guys, it is day six I just wanted to come on here do a little quick iPhone video because there's not really anything to update you guys on Other than the date to be honest I don't think anyone spent any money I did see some food trucks today, and I really wanted a Jamaican patty on campus, but I Told myself, you know, it's really not worth it. And obviously I'm doing this no spend challenge I'm so close to ending it so I'm not gonna spend any more money. Hopefully something doesn't come up Tomorrow, but we are on like our last toilet paper rule So we might just like try to use like the public mushrooms out there when we're Finished with that. That's like the only thing that I can think of that we probably need to purchase like ASAP when this is done But yeah, bring on day seven It is day seven we made it We we all spent some money though, so it wasn't a really no spend challenge It wasn't a true no spend challenge, but let's go around the circle and say how much we spent my name Sinali Hi Sinali Okay, so I spent $2 ish on Lyft 50 cents on my freaking chillies gift card thing and then um, what was it $8 on cover? I'm Kailin I spent what was it left to 30? Yes, I'm they to yeah to something $8 on cover and four cents of my overage on my Chick-fil-A order or my gift card Okay, so it's 12 before yeah Wait, but technically wait technically I didn't spend the 50 cents because Charlotte took it out of her wallet So she spent the 50 cents for me. She's in debt, but she didn't but I'm gonna donate to her cause tomorrow, so My name is Chloe and I spent $28 on my nails because Oh my god, it's broken again And four of them broke on me the next day, so that's what I get But for my job, I have to have nice nails and it was a necessity. She's a hand model by the way, so And then I upgraded my UB tan For $5 and fifty cents. Hi, my name is Megan I Spent 350 at UPS or USPS to mail a birthday card to my mom But it can and then $8 on the lift now eight dollars on cover two dollars on the left so 1350 I've spent eight dollars on cover. I didn't spend any on lift because I didn't go with them But I was offered free tickets to Orlando food and wine So I got free admission and I obviously had to go but you have to pay for the food and wine Which is a much easier side But so I spent $30 at food and wine, so that makes my total 38 and I was projected to win this Literally, she was like, yeah, I think we can do this guys like I think we can do this I really felt nauseous day one, but so now we're gonna move on to overall thoughts of this challenge I think the hardest part was social stuff. Yeah, because like going out to eat You can say no like if it's just yourself, but you can say no like Getting your nose done. You can say no Stuff like that or like shopping buying clothes you can say no, but it's awkward when like it's your friend's birthday And they want you to come out like you have to go or like Friendly tickets to an event like I feel like I have to go or if you got invited to a margarita day Yeah, I had to go to a margarita. I turn that thing and I went and sat and just watch my friends drink Margarita's neat matches. Maybe if you're like being more realistic, maybe you can try not spending Like money on a certain thing So like let's say like this week. I'm not gonna online shop or like this week I'm not gonna eat out and that's like a little bit easier and you know, right? Because right now we are not able to use our own bathroom because we ran out of toilet paper We should all go until like Duncan this morning Probably another like, you know like just like running and getting something before I'm like going to campus Ben said I starved I Yeah, the bad part is that I didn't have groceries Like if I would have had like my normal groceries for the week, then I would have been fine Yeah, like well not fine, but like better off than I was Watching people snap stories of like food and sushi is awful. Yeah, absolutely awful Yeah, it made me crave things that I didn't even want but like just knew that I couldn't have so that I wanted it Yeah, I think it's easier if you just set like a budget at the like I don't know spend $20 this week, right? Like no more than that. I think it would be like easy to be like oh spending like no money except for like social occasions Or except for maybe food well not eating out though like yeah, just you have to eat Yeah, it's a little bit yourself to one social. Yeah But like if so many things are free to like you guys spent cover, but you didn't spend anything on drinks I learned that I don't need as many things that I think I need. I just want them But that's not gonna change my spending habits Why did we do honestly I would like to say I don't think that this is gonna change Like before I do it though because I was like dang like if it was last week I would not have even bought this at all should I be buying it at least my dreams Like reference back to it. Yeah. Oh, that was what I wanted to say. I literally had nightmares like because of this Like I would wake up in the morning and be like I spent money and then I would realize that it was in my dream And I didn't all right. Well, we're gonna end this vlog I hope you guys enjoyed seeing us suffer through this challenge and let me know if you guys are gonna Do this challenge like you should start it like tomorrow like and let me know how that goes for you I will see you guys in my next video. Bye guys
