Sunday night and the first week of the shopping cleanse comes to a close. I think I did pretty well; some highs (not buying any clothes, shoes, accessories, or home decor), but had a low here and there (I had to exchange foundation shades and the new shade was $3 more expensive!, bought too much food & drink through the week). Not too bad for a recovering addict!
Going into week two, I definitely am going to try to cut back on all purchases - including food and drinks. I know I can't sacrifice my morning iced coffee (sorry to all of you out in the Northshore suffering through the water crisis!), so I will have to cut back on eating out and getting drinks out (soda water with lemon from now on).
The more I cut back, the more I come up with creative ways to get what I want - so these next few weeks are going to be about maintaining my lifestyle without forking over all the cash... I'm open to suggestions for date nights, fun stuff to do, whatever's cheap or free!
Just call me "recession chic".
