Just found this thread, but I'm doing my best to cut back on pointless spending (anyone else wander around Target for an hour and come out with $45 worth of stuff you didn't need!?) and online shopping (whoops).
So I'll start with last week...
8/13 $25 pedicure (I had set the money aside for it, so I don't feel too bad about it!)
8/14 $2 on a drink at Chipotle (I had 2 free meal cards, so that counts for something right!?
)
8/15 $2 on an iced coffee + $3.15 on tolls
8/16 $3.15 on tolls
8/17 $40 on groceries (stuck to budget - yay)
8/18 No buy (I paid the rent, but I feel like that can't count, right!? lol)
8/19 $2 on a drink at Panera while I study (I can't not purchase something while I sit there and use their wifi for 2 hours..), $2.50 on a chalk board marker (wedding craft, but I used a 40% off coupon!), $4 in quarters (laundry), $15 at Target (groceries).
Ok so only one no buy so far.. BUT.. I didn't mindlessly put things into the cart at the grocery store. I didn't get Panera after my study session for dinner like I wanted to (instead I made a yummy dinner with the salmon I thawed this morning), I gave myself a limit at Target and I stuck to it, and I didn't buy anything unnecessary.
I've given myself a strict "personal" spending limit lately and I feel like I'm doing a good job of sticking to it so far.
