In fact, if it would help by purging -- getting rid of some of those purchases, allow me to take the burden from you. Send me those clothes and shoes. It could be quite cathartic -- a cleansing and a great start to becoming a recovering shopaholic.;)Marcus and Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332537792819738121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908642181059119409.post-15225762948971231822009-01-28T13:15:00.000-06:002009-01-28T13:15:00.000-06:00I use to be a shop-a-holic too until I moved to a ...I use to be a shop-a-holic too until I moved to a very small town!

I spent every dime--excpet I managed to save $40 to use when I saw something these months that I LOVE and have to have. Luckily when I am pregnant I dont have that same desire to go buy clothes. I say shop on girl, if you have the money allowence then spend it on what you want and like.Lant Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865910882483836390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908642181059119409.post-4182508152901828662009-01-27T17:31:00.000-06:002009-01-27T17:31:00.000-06:00Maren,Well said!

I had to do some cutting back too (not because I had to, but I got tired of having too much stuff in my house.)<BR/><BR/>I did a massive de-clutter a month or two ago and it felt SO GOOD! Ever since then, if I buy something, it is to replace something we already have. How much stuff do I really need? That is when I started to think about ways to use money for creating memories as a good use of it (travel, day trips, etc.). That way, you don't collect too much stuff and you never have to give your memories to Goodwill. :-Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591007826783420828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4908642181059119409.post-15107878946818422009-01-27T17:16:00.000-06:002009-01-27T17:16:00.000-06:00Boy, I don't know if I could do that.

I feel like shopping is a way for me to have control over something, now I have control over my not shopping. <BR/><BR/>p.s I did make one purchase at Nordstrom but it was only because I had a Nordstrom note that was going to expire. Thats ok right???<BR/><BR/>p.s.s. Thanks for all your random comments on my blog. they always make me smile. :)thebakerbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062052411140523055noreply@blogger.com
