Today's been fun! Julia didn't have school today, and we had her conference this morning, which is a really good way to start the day. From there I took her to the 99 cent sweater sale where she picked out several sweaters she did NOT need! Then I got three for Kate, and they are all Talbots Kids (orig b/w $65 and $80), and look brand new. Of course I found seven things for myself, as they have many tops marked as "sweaters" which really are just knit tops. Even my Spring wardrobe is now complete! Anyway, then I took her out to lunch and bought bagels at Bread Co. for us to have over the weekend. All told, I spent $47. It's a gorgeous day, and we'll go to pick up Kate soon. I don't think we'll spend any more money this weekend, and Monday Julia and I are planning some sewing, so I think I'm in the clear until at least the middle of next week. Certainly until March 1st! On Sunday I'll go back over what I've done this month. I certainly didn't do the No Spending I'd thought I might, but I cut my spending easily in half. The interesting thing is, I haven't given up anything at all! I have been helped out, in this regard, by the ridiculous sale prices showing up so early in the season. All in all, I'm happy with the way the month went, and the changes I've made, and plan to continue to try to cut down even more in March.
