Who know blogging could be harder than not shopping? Well, so far it has been. Today is day 9 of our challenge and boy has it been a challenge. I can not say that have needed anything but I have been tempted. Today we went to a store that was closing and everything was 70% off (not to mention sooooo cute) and i am a sale junkie. That is...i was a sale junkie before 2009! The good news is i left with NOTHING! i could not have been prouder. Note to self...not buying feels good.
What i have learned in 9 days is that shopping has become so convenient. There are stores everywhere and things are pretty cheap. Shopping becomes so mindless and not buying anything new places you back in the now. It has awakened me in so many ways.
What i need to learn is where to go when i do need things for my kids. Any ideas? My daughter really need some jeans and pants. She just shot up and today nothing fits. We have no kids consignment store where we live and i do plan to change this *more to follow* but for now we need a solution.
I went to ebay but i really find i like to see and touch before i buy so this weekend we are on a search for a good thrift store. i will keep you posted how that goes.
