No spend day, HARDLY!

April 3rd, 2011 at 10:30 pm

I started the day thinking that I wasn't going to spend a dime. I didn't need gas, bought cigarettes two days ago and still have almost a full pack, and knew that I went to the store and spent $200 the day before.
Well, after a short trip to take the boys to Grandma's, I stopped in at the Dollar General.
Bought a clearance belt for $3 and some Easter cakes for $1.50.
Why?
Why did I stop?
Do I need that belt? No, but I noticed my fiancée wearing my work belt because it is real leather and his is not.
So I got a new one for me for work.
And the cakes, well, I wanted one. That's why they are put there, to tempt me into purchasing.
I will control my spending!!!!
I will not stop next time!!!
I will be responsible!!
Next time!

    I think you did well. I always get sucked in at Dollar General too.

    Dollar stores are the weakness for a lot of people, don't feel alone! It always leads to trouble for my mom, she can't pass a dollar store to save her bacon. At least she has some insurance that the items are cheap, because if she was shopping at an expensive store that often she'd be in BIG trouble!
