Teedi P.I started my "No Spend Year" yesterday on Thanksgiving Day & re-stocked my essentials before that, so I'm immune to today's consumer drive. To the restaurant, bank to deposit my tips, then home. Wash, rinse, repeat all weekend.
***And yes, I know I can buy food & absolute essentials during the NSY, but I also know I'm impulsive, so if I already have most of what I need the next few weeks, I won't be tempted to break the streak so early & talk myself into getting other things. It can happen easily when you go through cycles of depression & "retail therapy" to cope. I have hobby stuff out the wazoo & this week will make me see what I have & plan its use for the year. Bonus if I can to find a way to make money with it, use it, and/or sell it by the end of the year.
My yarn will get a LOT of use (got 3 tubs of it) making scarves as Christmas presents for a few folks. I just need one color for a "team scarf", but it can wait til next paycheck. NOT getting it today.
