Shopping intervention. That is what I need. Yup, tough love.
I went to WalMart yesterday at lunchtime. I just went to enlarge some prints - should have cost <$10. Then I realized that I needed emergency dog food (the dog food to use when I run out of Booboo's regular dog food). And I couldn't leave without getting her some treats. And what is the use of two large photos without frames? Oh yeah, I also needed an alarm clock as my alarm doesn't work. I could use my cell phone but would rather use an actual clock. And I did see a cute blouse that was on sale... oh yeah, needed some hair product, popcorn, and beef jerky. All in all it added up to $89.86!!
What??? How did I go from $10 to $89.86????
I know, I can justify all of the items that I listed... but to jump $80 from what I thought I would spend to what I actually spent.... that isn't good. Nor is it fiscally responsible (oops - thought I was at work for a moment!)
So, I asked my boyfriend for help. He reminded me that he has dropped a bundle on home brewing supplies over the last month. Okay, he won't be any help. And my daughter is as bad as me. She isn't any help....
I think I need a 10-step group for this.....
sigh....
