Essentially this was as close as possible to a no-spend challenge, but modified to make it more practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it, a no-spend challenge fails the moment you have to buy replacement groceries, so it can&#8217;t last for very long. It&#8217;s not possible to carry one out for a whole month, so you have to make different rules, including allowing the purchase of basic foods, cleaning products, toiletries and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The replacement-basis spending challenge I came up with was therefore a low-spend exercise, or you could look at it as a no-spend challenge without cheating. Yes, I&#8217;ve seen other similar initiatives advertised as &#8216;no-spend&#8217;, but I do feel that&#8217;s potentially misleading and confusing, so I prefer to keep the rules nice and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Week 3 and Week 4 went<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We ended up buying two standard weekly &#8216;big shops&#8217; at the supermarket, which was the usual basic groceries and within our normal allocated budget. Apart from that we didn&#8217;t buy any material goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did almost forget during Week Three that I was supposed to be doing this challenge, and almost bought something I wasn&#8217;t supposed to on Vinted. Damn their pesky price drop alerts, they&#8217;re perfectly designed to provoke a knee jerk spending reaction. Almost got carried away there for a moment, but luckily remembered what I was supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There <em>was<\/em> a bit of socialising and going out, which was allowed in the challenge because it&#8217;s experiences rather than physical things. We tried out a new cocktail bar (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threesheets-bar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Three Sheets Soho<\/a>, which was excellent), got some cut-price theatre tickets, and went to a new restaurant the day after their opening night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then unfortunately Beau got some kind of virus during Week Four and had to rest and get better. I went out and bought him some extra food and painkillers, but fortunately this was allowed within the original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/personal-challenge-a-month-of-replacement-basis-only\/\">replacement-basis-only challenge rules<\/a>. He&#8217;s back to his usual healthy self this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replacement-basis-challenge-when-someone-is-ill.jpg\" alt=\"Replacement Basis Challenge when someone is ill\" class=\"wp-image-85619 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replacement-basis-challenge-when-someone-is-ill.jpg\" alt=\"Replacement Basis Challenge when someone is ill\" class=\"wp-image-85619 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replacement-basis-challenge-when-someone-is-ill.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replacement-basis-challenge-when-someone-is-ill-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pennygolightly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/replacement-basis-challenge-when-someone-is-ill-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusions and next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Replacement Basis Challenge has been easy enough to stick to, and hasn&#8217;t felt stressful in the way some full-on no-spend challenges do. Next time I&#8217;ll probably set a fixed budget for socialising, as it&#8217;s just a little bit too easy to go over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, I didn&#8217;t have an urge to splurge or dash to the shops right after the month was up. Sometimes this happens after a Tenner Week and I have to remember to be mindful about &#8216;rebound spending&#8217; afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the month was over I did do some replacement-basis skincare shopping because I was running out of cleanser (new product reviews coming soon, no doubt). At that point I also picked up a couple of reasonably-priced new bits and bobs because I wasn&#8217;t restricted any more, but definitely didn&#8217;t go over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What next? I saved quite a lot, cleared some clutter and had a very enjoyable month, so I think I&#8217;ll happily try this again next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it could become an annual event on this site during February from now on. There could be a little more structure so it&#8217;s easy for everyone to join in, and we could even have a different month-long theme each time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoyed this post?
