I vow, for one month from 1st Feb, to avoid shopping for anything other than essentials
The rules are really that strict, depending on your will power of course!! Which mine is like this:
Not buying anything for an entire month, even if that means for 28 days online, the shortest month of the year, is insane!! I LOVE TO SHOP. But I will persevere!! Mind you I think the main thing I will miss is my monthly magazines, like Company and Cosmo but luckily my mum gets Glamour magazine so I can pinch that at least. And my quest for matching PJs and underwear will have to wait till March. Luckily I don't get much money till the 22nd of February so I should be able to achieve it! And no matter how tempting it may be, no sweets and treats!! It shall be a month of minimum spending for me! Three days in and I am doing well, despite temptations, so hopefully I might of even saved money by March!
If you want to find out more (I encourage to to join and test yourself!!) see here for the rules and so forth!
You will see my name on the list :D I hope I can achieve this!! I will be partaking in other challenges too so keep an eye out for that!

lmao such a cute kitty! I think you should do a wardrobe revamp and have a crafty day ^^ that way you have new looking clothes and have resisted your cravings to buy new things :D!!!
ReplyDeletegd luck aswell :p
LOL that's great logic about feb being the shortest month of the year. i could never give up shopping :( i vowed not to this month either because i had to buy stuff for the apartment but i ended up going to the mall and picking up stuff for "winter" haha
ReplyDeletegood luck!
Hahah! I've been on frugality living for this year. Only spent when I get money as gifts or even gift cards. Haven't really spending that much except for when I send out love packs to my friends. ;3 good luck with this! it's hard but worth it :D
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting movement but it is nearly impossible for me for normal months. But I guess I *might* join, since this month I'm pretty much broke out of my heart!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! This is such a motivational idea!
A second that!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to not buy anything atall! I can't promise myself that.. when I see something nice and it's on sale I'm lost then.
(love the funny cat picture haha, very remarkable)
