So this month, Rich and I decided that we were going to only spend money on gas and groceries, unless I had the cash in hand for something else (i.e. movies, lunch, etc). So far, so good. Mostly it's me anyway who spends on fun, useful, but unnecessary, items.
So....I found a way around it...I had the cash for a few bottles of gift soap, but I didn't want to go to the mall, and they're not on sale right now, anyway. I was asking my mom for ideas for new babies (I usually give a yummy smelling hand soap 'cuz new babies=lots of diapers=lots of hand washing) because I was out of soaps and couldn't go buy more. I could crochet something, but it's 100 degrees outside, who wants a sweater or hat?! Anyway...I bought soaps from my mom, at sale price, with cash I had for such occasions!
I know this seems totally menial (?), but it's HUGE for me...I found a way to get what I needed WithOut spending senseless money. ah. What a relief. One trip to Target for yummy soap would have meant a few Useful, although unnecessary items more at the Bearden house.
It's been good practice...I think I'll do it again in August - with one exception - TCP summer clearance at the PC outlets!! Stock up time :)

I love this idea...I ran to target for a prescription today and came home $80 poorer :( TCP clearance...when does that start? I need to get up there for school shopping! Apparently I have $$ burning a hole in my pocket!
