It's not that I'm a crazy spender. It's just that I have a lot of bills to pay. And a "Treat Yo'Self" mentality:
Bottle of wine? Yes please.
Dinner with friends? When?
Happy Hour? Well.. it's been a rough week...
Groupon for Paint Night? I've always wanted to go!
Karaoke? I haven't gone in years, and can never find anyone to go with me- yes!
See? No bueno.
I can always find an excuse to spend money. Usually I'm spending on experiences instead of material things, and somehow that makes me feel a little better. But now that the watch is over, here are a few things I've been craving:
Goodbye Wallet Watch by lildesiqua featuring a nonstick cookware
new sunglasses: specifically amber ones since RJ accidentally broke mine- and because he's buying me new ones
new eyeglasses: I got insurance money, I'm on my last pair of contacts, and before the Watch, I bought a Living Social deal for an eye exam + glasses.
haircut: I actually have a coupon for a *free* haircut, and I was just waiting until it wasn't as cold out to chop off my locks. Looks like Spring has finally sprung so time for this hair to go!
shoes: I am in serious need of new flats, specifically black and nude. Booties aren't necessary, but I still want them
frying pan: NEED. My only one is small and crappy. Like, really crappy. Everything sticks to it, no matter how much Pam or butter I use. I want this Orgreenic frying pan I've been seeing on TV. I have a BBB gift card that I received for Christmas, so it's time to use it!
HDMI cables: I have Amazon Prime and Netflix, and am considering taking the plunge and cutting cable. This would be a big help in allowing me to still enjoy some TV and movies. I also got some Amazon gift cards via Swagbucks, so it would basically be free!
perfume: I ran out of my favorite one back in September.
jewelry: Um, I just like jewelry, though I hardly own any. And F21 has some cheapies that I love.
Salem, MA: heading here in June! Ok, so I guess I should save...
How do you save?
What are you confessing today?
Link up with Vodka and Soda and My So Called Chaos!!
I am the absolute worst about saving. I have money automatically sent to my Capital One 360 account every paycheck. And I pre-schedule at least 5-6 weeks worth of the 52 week challenge deposits ahead of time, otherwise I'd never save anything. My salary just sucks.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me I need to use my eye insurance before the end of July. New glasses? Sunglasses? I just can't decide. I do know I'll probably pay more than I should regardless.
ReplyDeleteI'm a total spender. I feel you on this.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Salem in June too! June 26-29.
i go through spurts of spending. there are months that's all i do and then there are other times i just don't. i need to go on another wallet watch after this miami trip :(
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up!

i suck at not spending money. i use the exact same excuses you do..my new favorite excuse..yolo. cause it's true. do i really need another black romper...um yolo! haha. but i totes agree with you have A LOT of bills i have to pay. i tracked my money in march to see where i was spending my $ the most and yep it was all bills. ugh!!
ReplyDeletei seriously just spend money like it's going out of style.

Saving is hard! Online shopping sucks me in every time!
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely twins with the "experiences vs material" I'm not a huge shopper but I neeeed my weekend planned with things to do that usually cost me money
ReplyDeleteI use to be great at saving money and then after I bought a house it's like I can't save money to save my life. I'm hoping in the fall once Beezy moves in I can really start saving.
