During my last budget check-in I stated that my clothing/beauty budget would be $250 quarterly/ $1,000 annual. I've gone over that quarterly budget, but since I didn't really buy anything other than shoes ($60) during the first quarter, I'm still below the $500 mark at the 6-month check-in. So I'm good! Woot! Also, I normally would never spend so much at BBW, but it's their semi-annual sale, and I've never seen those candles (my personal favorite) for such a low price before. AND they brought back my favorite scent, Bow Ties and Bourbon, so of course I needed 2 (one for me, one for Blue). And just a note, the BBW and J Crew Factory sales are still going on! :)
Total Monthly Spending: $102.70
Total Quarter Spending: $322.20
Annual Budget Remaining: $617.80
Do you wait for sales or just buy when you need things?
Linking up with Franish for Budgeting Bloggers.
I think I need to make a BBW run, too, with their big sale! Stock up on some candles!
ReplyDeleteThose shorts are super cute!
ReplyDeleteThe candles are on sale again.... Why do they do this to me?! So is their aromatherapy stuff, those I plan to buy. I'm not really a summer candle person. I buy all the time. When I need, when I don't, during sales. But I try to never pay full price ever.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I love candles!
ReplyDeleteI tend to buy things as I need them but I should try to wait more for when things are on sale. Good buys. :)
Have a great 4th of July weekend!
Oh I love those candles, will need to pick some up. Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteCute shorts, and you can't beat the deal on those!
ReplyDeleteLove those necklaces! So cute. It depends for me when I buy things. For things like bras and undies (the ones I like/fit well) I usually stalk the online sales. So if I get an email alert - I stock up! haha But for most other things I just purchase it when I need it. Those amazon daily deals are killing me though. I've bought so many $2 books. I need to unsubscribe from those feeds! yikes. XO -Alexandra
