I tried a No Spend Month but that was with no extra cash! It was really hard. Of course it was around Christmas too and that didn't work so well. It did open my eyes, though! Mrs. Money´s last blog post..The Sorrows of Decluttering

Congratulations on your CBS news spot, Rachel! I’m behind on my blog reading and had no idea you were being featured. I started reading your blog before I knew we were in a recession, and your message of frugality is especially timely given the economic hardship so many families are facing. I hope you’re given even more opportunity to take the message to an even wider audience!

Congrats on getting more publicity for both your blog and for frugality! You did great on camera, too. Rachel´s last blog post..DIY Deodorant. Yes, you read that right.

My husband and I have been faithfully paying off debt and looking for ways to expedite the situation. We have talked about your family's No Spend Month idea in July. We are joining you! And we're excited to try it! Thanks for the encouragement, and the motivation to "keep on keepin' on!" Kathryn´s last blog post..What's going on?

I watched the video online. It was great! You did an awesome job Rachel. I love it when the media chooses to instill hope rather than focus on the negative.

Rachel, I remember being attracted to your blog when you initially wrote about the No Spend Month! Thanks for the update...you are absolutely adorable in this news piece! What made you decide to do it in July (as opposed to other months)? And did you stock up on food ahead of time? July is difficult for us, but I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea. We want to save for a special vacation, and I thought choosing two No Spend months out of the year would allow us to bank enough for a nice vacation. I look forward to hearing all about your no spend month again! Sharon Sharon´s last blog post..We spent $39,000.00 this weekend!
