Awesome ideas to help curb spending. When it comes to clothing, I try to use the cost per wear technique and find it is helpful – especially when it comes to shoes! It’s important to spend money on items you enjoy visually, but also get utility out of. If it doesn’t get used (or make you money) it’s probably not a good way to spend!

I think it helps to definitely have a plan of what you will do when you are faced with trying to NOT purchase something. We do so much planning to buy something, but dont plan for not buying!

These are great ways to approach it! Love the psychology behind $. It’s so interesting. I just think about my bank balance and realize that spending extraneously isn’t possible if we wanna pay the bills right now. Lol.

I tend to wait it out and think if I really want to spend the money or can I find an alternative to my want that will not cost as much nor sacrifice quality.

Hmm. Retail therapy we call it here. Such a dangerous way to go. But you are right about quality. Buying cheap (unless it is also the best) is not a good idea. Of course if it is the best then it is a no-brainer as long as you have the cash and you really really need the item, not just want it!

I am sure you will put the camera to good use, Glen. I’ve mainly been using the camera in my tablet and now I am so grateful for every precious moment that I’ve managed to capture.

Honestly, I am normally pretty good. Although this last year I did go out and buy a new camera under the guise of needing it to photograph the new baby.

Nothing like walking into a store and leaving with nothing! Well….not going into the store in the first place is even better! Great post!
