I'm going to join in on this! I look back at my spending and find that I buy things on sort of impulse (usually one week thinking it over) and lo and behold, I don't use it.
I'm entering ??? weeks/months of unemployment thanks to freelance work, so this is especially important while I look for my next job!
My exceptions:
- necessities for new apartment (bed frame, dresser, etc. - will either be thrift store, FB free/sale, or IKEA if I'm really in need)
- mattress (don't currently have one, living in an Airbnb bedroom)
- kitchen appliances for new apartment (i currently have a hand mixer and that's it - most of these will be thrift store)
- good deals on my Equestrian List under $60 ( list has existed since October so it technically doesn't count already)
- Reptile necessities: food, paper towels
Other challenges for me:
- using all of my shampoo before buying a new one
- use existing crafting supplies before creating new projects for myself aka buying more supplies
- NO MAKEUP/SKINCARE PURCHASES IN 2019!
@horsepoor so awesome to see a fellow horse person! I don't have a horse but I ride once a week, it's a lifestyle creep struggle for me because i love it so much! :)
My temptations:
- makeup/skincare (Target somehow always convinces me I need something I don't have)
- shampoo/conditioner
- craft supplies
