The Shopping Ban: March Progress

April 19, 2012

I realised a few weeks after posting the last update that I said I bought nothing in January when in fact I did buy stuff...So the revised total is:

January
Storm lantern (50c)
Silver frame ($1)
Air plant ($6)
Cake stand ($6.20)
February
Nothing, zip, zero, nil
March
Tray ($3)
Country Road voucher spend ($9.15)
Grand total - $25.85

And now I've got these to use  - the David Jones one I have to use by the end of May and the Myer one I have til the end of the year.  I wish they were one card to either store as the David Jones card is for $25 and the Myer one is for $20, so unless I find something good and super cheap, I'll need to chip in for a decent purchase.  I thought of a bottle of OPI or similar but I've already got so much nail polish that Ill never get through it so it seems a waste (besides if I want more I'll wait and get it in America in July).
I should mention that the grand total doesn't include magazine purchases as they are considered a necessity (besides, I subscribe to my favourites!).

    1. It's hard though - I'm so sick of all my clothes!

    Sooooo jealous of you :(

    Have you got a list of things to buy/stock up on? I'm planning on going early next year and my list is out of control already :S
