🐝 Welcome to Buzzy’s 30-Day Zero-Spend Challenge!

Welcome, Hive Parent! 💛
If your wallet has been working overtime and your Amazon app opens itself on instinct… you’re in the right place 😅🐝

Buzzy’s 30-Day Zero-Spend Challenge is all about resetting spending habits without sacrificing fun. This isn’t a punishment, a diet, or a “never enjoy life again” plan. Instead, it’s a gentle reset — helping your family slow down, get creative, and rediscover how much joy already lives inside your home.

For the next 30 days, you’ll focus on free, meaningful, family-centered activities while pressing pause on unnecessary spending. Some days will be easy, some will test your willpower (looking at you, Target 👀), but every day is a step toward less stress, more memories, and smarter habits.

✨ No perfection required.
✨ Start any day.
✨ Do your best and keep buzzing forward.

🐝 The Rules (Simple & Forgiving)

✅ Groceries (planned only)
✅ Gas
✅ Bills & essentials
🚫 Eating out
🚫 Online shopping
🚫 Target runs “just because”
🚫 Entertainment purchases

✨ If something unavoidable pops up — don’t quit. Just keep buzzing forward.
