I’m glad to be saving the money, and I know it wasn’t good for me … but there are days when I’d sell my own grandmother for an icy can!

Haha that’s a good start!

You can also try selling some of the stuff you no longer *love* anymore (or even donating ’em) to help you feel better about at least breaking even with “stuff” :) Sometimes that helps me feel better about my book hoarding, lol…

Great tie into Lent and I am already thinking of what I can give up this coming year! ;)

I have a iced tea addiction which I know the sugar isn’t so great or the bottled water. I am going to try and use my good old tap more lol.
The other thing is home decor. I have to stay out of Hobby Lobby and Target or I just want it all! Luckily our last debt is our mortgage but sometimes I overspend on home decor when I rationalize we don’t have car payments etc. Lately I have been sorting through and only allowing myself one bin per season and Christmas 2. It seems to be helping :)

Don’t have that but I do have a black and green pattern Benetton sweater from that same era-
Amazed at the crap I hung onto!

I did not :(

Completely forgot that we’re *not at home* on Halloween night because WE’RE OUT TRICK-OR-TREATING! Which makes it pretty hard to pass out books, haha…

I did think about leaving them on the step for them to choose from, but didn’t want to risk it yet without first testing out face-to-face ;)

Nothing wrong with just the one! I need to have no beer or else I have ALL the beers!

I find accountability helps me in giving stuff up. If I tell people, I feel this huge sense of obligation to honor to my commitment. Plus others call me out on it.

Happy Halloween & I must ask, did you pass out books instead of candy?!?

Heyyyy, very cool!!!

Thanks for popping over and saying hi! Nice to officially meet you :) Good job sticking with it for so long too!! The savings/caring part that is, haha… although equally as impressive that I haven’t scared you away yet ;)
