So I started this challenge for the following reasons:
1. To combat indiscriminate purchasing - I have been known to buy things because they are on sale or only $20, whether I need them or not.
2. To save $$ by curbing practice mentioned above
3. To limit wardrobe additions, given our downsize from a 1,200 sq. foot condo without enough closet space to an 800 square foot loft with even less closet space
So, what is a girl to do when she gets her $20 BR Reward? It is like free money, but I would probably have to shell out a bit of cash to cover the difference since the terms and conditions of the reward require the purchase to be more than $20. This would obviously be against the rules. However, since it is like FREE MONEY* (do you hear me? FREE MONEY!), I would still be staying within the spirit of the challenge.
Thoughts anyone?
*Yes, I know it not really FREE MONEY. It is the reward for using and abusing my Visa. It was not free.

I just found your blog and think it's fabulous. You are much stronger than me... I don't think I could give up shopping, although I have stopped eating out much since having my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI would either hold onto the reward. Maybe you can combine it with present money in the future and get something that you really love/need. Otherwise wait until you really get the itch for something new. And then spend your reward on something cute and small... like a scarf, earrings or some tights. You own't be falling off the bandwagon, but you'll still be able to treat yourself to something new.
