The No Shopping Challenge

After debating whether I should hop on board and do a no shopping month this February, I finally decided I am going to do it!  I always have issues with spending my money and I really want to push myself to save more and spend less, especially since I am saving up for a new camera that I can take to college with me!  I also think it will help me learn to think before I buy (#impulsebuyer), which will make me less impulsive after the month of no shopping is over.

However, there are some exceptions, for me, for this month...

1. I can still buy Starbucks and some treats

2. I can browse, but not buy 

3. I can still go out

Are you thinking of joining the no shopping month?  I know Ashley is doing it too!

  2. Good luck! I do no shopping stints every now and then and it is actually quite rewarding! Just be sure to not go crazy the day you're "allowed" to shop again - you want this to help your mindset, not be oppressive and something you need to break free from.
    I look forward to updates on your progress!

  4. This is impressive! I go through no shopping phases (mostly after I go a little overboard on spending - haha!) I've been so bad the past month, especially since my birthday is coming up, and I feel like I MUST treat myself. Maybe I will do this for March. Please keep us updated & good luck!

    p.s. - I'm doing a giveaway on my blog... There's nothing wrong with winning freebies, right?

  11. I'm on a shopping ban for the whole of Feb too! I'm allowing myself Starbucks too - you can't go cold turkey on everything all at once! It's nice to have someone else on a no spending kick at the same time as I am!
