Try a no-spend day

Decide to spend nothing today beyond what is essential.

Why it helps

A no-spend day makes you notice automatic purchases and often leads to creative, free options.

How to do it

1. Plan food from what you have.
2. Skip optional purchases.
3. Note how it felt in the evening.

Make it easier

Skip one usual purchase, such as a coffee.
