I DID IT! I made it the whole month of February without shopping.
Check out this post for the rules I followed.
I unsubscribed from a bunch of retailers emails. I unfollowed stores’ Facebook and Instagram pages. I avoided the mall at all costs. I did my best to stay away from Target, or atleast stay away from the clothes/shoes while I was there.
One of my ways of getting through the month was to create a shopping list. If I saw something during the month I wanted to purchase I would add it to the list. Throughout the month things can be added or deleted from this list.
This really helps me be thoughtful about my purchases and not just impulse buy or buy things because they’re on sale. I am buying things I really want/need/can’t live without.
Here is my list of things:
I’ve seen this blowdryer all over instagram. And, well, I don’t own a blowdryer. I have curly hair and usually just let it do what it wants. But I’ve seen so many people rave about how quickly this dries and styles their hair.
I saw this new line of pajamas at my local Target just a few days before the end of my no shopping month. The material is so soft and its only about $20 for the whole set. A similar set at Nordstrom costs $50+. And I love the pretty floral print.
I stumbled upon this shirt dress online and I just love the color and style. I’ll probably be keeping it in my shopping cart a little longer while I wait for it to go on sale.
