watch out for the drugstore

January 12, 2010 · Posted in buying stuff, motivation 

I didn’t realize how liberal I had become about spending my money until I had a hard time talking myself out of the drugstore last night.  I only went in for one thing I needed, and the next thing I know, I was actually browsing all over the store.  And then something in my head said, Sis, look at what you are doing.  Get what you came for, and get the heck outta here! Can I tell you, it was SO HARD!  Reining it in was so much easier when I was a) broke, or b) emotionally invested in a goal.

I gotta get my emotions back into this!

    I’m with ya. Duane Reade gets me all the time. I go in for lotion and I come out missing $40 bucks. It’s dangerous.
