I'm so glad I started this journey on Christmas day instead of January 1st. It's given me more time to think about what I want out of 2011.
Feeling inspired, I returned a few purchases I made over the past several weeks. I always keep the tag on until I am ready to use the item. My credits are:
Target $12.50
Macy's $47.68. (I owe 7.56, net credit $40.12).
Target is cash credit, Macy's is store credit.
The total credit($60.18)is going to the "OH NO" fund. A portion will be funded this month and the balance next month.
I have a tendancy to stock up on items needlessly.
I'm going to deplete before replenishing. The only exception would be extraordinary deals & toiletries (eg. kleenex, TP). One example of an extraordinary deal is Quaker Oats Granola bars - 8 pack. Target usually has them on sale for $2.09 a box. I picked up (4) boxes of "holiday themed" granola bars for 47 cents. Yes, 47 cents a box just because they were considered "holiday". Always check expiration dates.
These are good until June 2011.
Good bye 2010, Hello 2011!
Happy New Year to all!
I am so motivated!
