They all are helping you justify the expense. Maybe now they've all gone out shopping!<br /><br />Well, the only man is going to tell you what you need to hear. This is an example of "frugal?" Is it going to change your life? Hmmmm, $170 on the mortgage over the life of it would work out to how much? Is it really worth that?

Every year, I buy a couple of "investement pieces" that are more expensive than my usual clothes but I know I will wear them for years. <br /><br />Yes, spring makes me want to spend more money. By April, I'm sick and tired of my winter clothes and I'm looking for a little pick me up.

I hope it looks like I think it will when I try it on. It was on sale, and I haven't bought a nice dress since I had my daughter.

All day, every store it will be one color. some days its red, some it's blue, some it's green, even pink. No idea what causes that, since if i'm not in the right mood i don't buy at all. I don't think it's seasonally either.Peachyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315027590748875288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-23557298792299279712009-05-01T12:22:00.000-04:002009-05-01T12:22:00.000-04:00I'm blaming it on preparing for my move ;)

Part of the prob...Yup, I guess you could say that. Part of the problem is that I've dropped two sizes since February, though, and nothing freaking fits. I gave in and bought three pairs of shorts last week because I didn't own any that I had to unbutton to put on, and I'm not really a pants-fallin'-down kind of gal. <br /><br />Hopefully, smaller clothes will help me when it comes to maintaining the loss.frugal zeitgeisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804781758510341558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-32765010771727324292009-05-01T10:51:00.000-04:002009-05-01T10:51:00.000-04:00Um, yeah.

Both were marked down at least 40%, but that shopping trip was still an unplanned splurge.

Summer...The seasons absolutely affect my spending. Summer is travel season. Once it starts getting nice out I'm all about taking day trips to see everything worth seeing.<br /><br />Winter stimulates me the other way. It's so cold where I live that I have no desire to leave my apartment. My grocery bill usually skyrockets as I desire more and more comfort foods. I also have this urge to buy lots of DVDs because there's nothing else to do but sit down and watch movies. Thus far I've been good about resisting the DVD urge, but not the food urge.SaveBuyLivehttp://www.savebuylive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-78921519318282103312009-05-01T09:13:00.000-04:002009-05-01T09:13:00.000-04:00I LOVE THE PINK!I LOVE THE PINK!SavingDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267021491907810696noreply@blogger.com
