$0 Projects

Once a year my family and I spend a full month not spending any money on non-essentials...and by essentials I mean only fresh fruits and veggies, dairy product, etc. For 31 days I cannot step foot in a Dollar store, home decor store and craft store! I do not spent a dime on crafts, clothing and home decorating. At first when my husband and I challenged each other, I was terrified. What would I do? How could I post anything on my blog?  Well it is shocking how easy it was/is to do this! Here is a full summary of how it went last year.


I thought you might find it useful to have a summary page of all the items I create on my $0 budget.

My flat screen TV frame is not technically included in my $0 spending month because I had purchased the materials a couple of months in advance anticipating making it...so I don't think it fits but I will show it to you in case you missed it.

  9. Some neat ideas. But obviously you must have a lot of supplies already on hand to do these at $0.00. I would have to buy the paints and papers and frames.
