Reign in my shopping habit that has developed recently in the past few months. Live within my means!

kept the expensive jeans…...but totally love them!
got wrangled into birthday gift and wedding gift shopping, hard to get out of that. both need to be decent gifts for my best friends, sigh, money, easy come, easy go… and yes, some essential oils for myself, that I think seem to be necessary, despite the financials.

they were sooo cute! but sooo expensive. I did the right thing, I had to take them back. the girls at the register oohed and aahed over them and were sad they weren’t their size…. those shoes will have to find a new home.

i returned a dress, two pair of shoes, and a shirt yesterday! that will help!
my new vet bill! and my own medical bills are not helping, but those cannot be avoided.
I still have a wonderful pair of jeans that are too overpriced, and I may return those, but they are sooo cute and comfortable, I’m torn over that particular item…..

I was heroically going to return a dress to Macy’s that wasn’t super expensive, but it didn’t fit perfectly. The clerk asks me if I want to return it or exchange it, I say “return please”. Then just as I am walking out of the store…I pass the sale rack…...I ended up spending three times what I saved by returning the dress! Now I’m going to have to examine my purchases and see if I can take anything back…..what a debacle.
