Inspired by a road-trip conversation I had with Kristie this weekend (we traveled to Austin for a half-marathon and that recap should be up soon), she and I have decided to be a little crazy and give up personal shopping/spending for the month of February.
For me, this means no:
- Clothes
- Accessories/shoes
- Unnecessary things for the home
- Dining out solo (Starbucks, quick lunch at Subway, etc.)
This doesn't mean:
- Gifts
- Groceries
- Necessary things for the home
- Dining out with others
That last one -- on both lists -- seems weird, I know, but I have a few scheduled social outings this month that I won't cancel because they're not the issue here. (One is celebrating a friend's birthday, the other is a planned date night out for Valentine's.)
I don't want to give up special nights with the people I care about, but I do want to curb a "quick coffee" or a 1-click book purchase on Amazon. I love my prime membership, but it's dangerous!
Anyway, if you'd like to join us, you should! We'll be hash-tagging our non-shopping adventures with the very original #noshopping.
Who's with us?
