Last night, I could hardly sleep. I knew Target would have their Christmas stuff 75-80% off. My plan was to get to the store right when it opened & stock up for next year. But wait...I already have plenty of Christmas stuff purchased at the clearance sales from years past. How many bows, wrap, & tags does one person really need? I probably have enough stuff already to last me 3-4 years...and yet, I have a powerful urge to go get more!
I checked my tracking sheet from last year & see that I spent 13.00...ok...This is really hard for me.....so I took $13 out of my purse & put it in an envelope.
Maybe I have started the $20 challenge?
2008-Starting off the New Year right?

I, too, have a very hard time resisting a great sale. I have enough wrapping paper to last several years, so I am going to resist those sales!
Putting the cash in an envelope is fantastic way to see how much you can really save, when you resist the urge to shop.
