I spent:
$6.67 at Starbucks (see above for a follow-up on that clusterf*ck) for a frappuchino and a brownie after the movie I had planned on seeing (Bottle Shock) turned out to come out tomorrow and not today.
$5.11 at Shoppers Drug Mart on milk ($3.99/3 bags vs. $6.99 at grocers) and a Rolo bar.
$2.00 on a coffee at Timothy's where I sat and read my library book for a relaxing hour.
$4.19 at Sobeys on popcorn for the movie tomorrow ($1.99 vs. $5.99 at the film), green onions, bananas and two portabella mushrooms.
I did control my impulses too! I did not buy a magazine I did not really need! I did not buy work clothes at a store I frequent, even though I liked everything they had, because I had not planned my shopping! I want to figure out what I really need to get and focus on those items versus kid-in-candy-store shopping with the "ooh! pretty!" reflex hanger grab.
Payday is Friday. I did see a few items I will get if I like how they look on. The price point is good and I do need (seriously, not just want) new work clothes. I have lost - drum roll please - not quite 40 pounds since January 1st, 2008! Halfway to my goal! I have virtually no clothes that actually fit right, so I do kind of need to add some things to the closet.
I even went through my closet yesterday and figured out what items I have that I can sell on EBAY. I found a couple of things. The rest will go to goodwill.
