Today I met a friend for coffee, but spent less than $2. After that, I went to the store to buy some $1 nail polish to try to repair the scuff on a pair of shiny shoes (long story). I walked out with several tote bags, the nail polish, and three sets of scarves & gloves. The sales are what killed me, as all of these things together only $30! So, huge failure as the goal goes -- $32 today. Still, I figure that's about 10% of what I'd normally spend in the first three days of a month, so I just don't feel too bad about it.
Obviously, this is going to be my challenge, taking it seriously. I have been too complacent, and didn't hold back in the store, nor did I feel bad about it after I spent the money! I am having a hard time feeling bad about $32. Perhaps if I chant something nasty to myself, over and over, I will get the message? I don't know. I don't have any plans to go shopping Thursday or Friday --- Saturday, of course, is usually a disaster. . . Maybe I should just try to do "no shopping except on Saturday." UGH. I obviously need some inspiration.
The good news is that I've gotten rid of about 30% of the clothes in my closet! :)
