Random F&B Question
I preface this by saying that I am insanely cheap.
I saw that some of the girls on F&B and on a "shopping fast" for October. I really don't think it would be hard for me to go a month without buying clothes/shoes/makeup.
What about you guys?

Re: Random F&amp;B Question
Eh.. I like to shop. I have a bad habit of getting a thing here, a thing there... & spending more than I realize.
BUT... I think it's dumb that one of the girl's Hs is rewarding her with $300 to go shop. Really?! Doesn't that DEFEAT the purpose?
Sadly, no! She probably spends double that so he's still saving money. Just like everyone else, I'm bad about picking up things here and there but those girls post recent purchases weekly (some daily) that easily have to be over $100 total each time. They swing by the mall on their way home to casually grab a $300 pair of boots, a $500 purse. Ann Taylor has a 30% off sale and they buy like 10 things every time they have that sale. Seriously, it never stops.

I'm cheap, so it would be pretty easy for me. I've been avoiding the TC/malls for a couple months now since we're thinking of buying a house and TTC, so I've pretty much been on a spending freeze for the past few months. It kinda sucks, but when I see the difference in my bank account from when I was not on a spending freeze, it makes it completely worthwhile.
If we're just talking clothes/shoes/makeup, then yeah, that'd be no big deal. I'm sure I unintentionally have months where I do this. Lately I've been getting some new clothes due to losing weight, but I've pretty much put the lid on that now because my goal is to eventually need a smaller size so I don't want to buy too much now.
On the other hand, I've tried to do a complete spending freeze before (buying only groceries) and that was hard! There's always stuff that comes up. The hardest part for me that month was gift giving - I think it was mother's day and I hadn't planned ahead so I was trying to figure out what to give my mom without spending money. I felt guilty about being cheap when it came to other people in my life.
