I did not buy anything from a vending machine.
I managed to curb the car a bit more on Saturdays and got an extra day between refills of gas twice.
I sat down at my computer for the purpose of writing a bit on a story twice. (Ok so writing on a story while I played online poker in the background)
My children made it through the month without really spilling much milk or wasting too much food. This is important because I am trying to teach them that money spent replacing things that we waste is money that we can not spend on things we want.
I renewed the library books online and avoided late fees. This has a similar affect as above, where money spent on fees that could have been avoided is money that can not be spent on a want or saved.
Ohhhh a big one here, I set my paypal up to the mutual fund plan where I am now getting a return on the money that is sitting in my account waiting for me to find those perfect deals on ebay.
Speaking of perfect deals, I bought 3 WarMachine minis that have a combined retail price of $30 for $4.58.
I did good on the food budget...I even got commended by my wife for coming in under budget two weeks this month.
August goals (never posted) acheived so far
