Last October I tried what I like to call frugal October. No spending other than that which was necessary. While not perfect, I did cool my heels on pushing the button that says “buy”. It worked well, except it ended with October. Then there was Christmas and we won’t even speak about that avalanch of boxes.
The month of April was a flurry of deliveries both night and day to my front door. Everything from Amazon to Stitch-Fix, some from over seas. The items ranged from food storage containers to clothes to a beautiful gold and turquoise ring. Yes, I fell of the no-shopping wagon.
Then came May. I completed Meager May successfully. No boxes came to the door other than cleaning solutions. It’s June now and I still plan on corralling my need to buy.
But watch out for July. I must be honest with myself; I have a list of things to purchase and it’s going to be awesome. Have I learned anything? I can contain myself for a month or two, but, like Kilauea, at some point my inner shopper has to erupt.
