I better be much more committed to this budget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870344 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:24:19 +0000 Raisin 870344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, 1400 calories a day! I'd rather have to stick to a shopping budget, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870268 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:00:13 +0000 modgrl 870268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping track of your spending can be quite eye opening. Not in a good way! But it is necessary. It's easy to get out of control if you don't keep track. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870234 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:29:05 +0000 ironkurtin 870234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started an excel chart to keep track of my spending. Eep.</p> <p>Time to be disciplined! This is new to me. But I figure if I can force myself to live on 1400 calories a day, I can shop on a budget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870195 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:47:46 +0000 Anonymous 870195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I hear you. The good news is you can really be picky with them and if one pair doesn't work out you can return them and then spend the money all over again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870185 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:41:14 +0000 modgrl 870185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, yes, it is!!! My closet is basically in good shape. While I'm not strictly keeping to 1 piece per month, that is ultimately my goal since I shouldn't really need to overhaul my entire wardrobe anymore. I find that as soon as the first of the month rolls around, something is ordered right away! It's like the flood gates are opened after being held back for a whole month. Though it is month 3 and I am at 6 (pricey!) pieces. No more transition anything for me. I want to refresh my summer dress capsule this year! Also need to hold back on handbags. I WANT new bags but I know myself. I simply don't switch them out on a daily basis. I don't want to have a museum of unused bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870117 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:36:05 +0000 Jules 870117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah... this is why I'm afraid to *set* a budget... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870105 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:20:40 +0000 Sarah A 870105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sandals though!

I think this forum will have coined the notion of "safe shopping": having taken precautions to protect oneself from catching a BBB (Budget Busting Buying).</p> <p>(But is it working?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-870016 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:42:37 +0000 Deborah 870016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny read! I do hope the sandals work out cos they both look pretty cool.</p> <p>I'm pleased to say I am currently on budget but don't know for how long now that I am seeing the winter items in store:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869981 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 05:48:26 +0000 jayne 869981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I officially blew the kids budget (yes, on the kids) on feb 28th, a day before the month actually started.....gee I hope they can make it through the month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869920 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:02:49 +0000 Debbie 869920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK-I think these shoes were worth it. Especially the first pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869900 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 03:48:18 +0000 Anonymous 869900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell me about it. I blew my $300.00 allowance in 3 hours at C21, poor but happy though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869887 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 03:43:02 +0000 Nicole D 869887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went over budget by 50% today. Must need bigger budget... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869769 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:32:52 +0000 ironkurtin 869769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the word prophylactic! It means a preventative or protective. Prophylactic shopping sounds about right to me for sure!</p> <p>Guys, it was the sandals that did me in. For the first, I actually selected bright orange since that's the color in my size. And the second were a pair I have been stalking for years and finally found in my size.</p> <p>Both are on order. They'll go back if they are not perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869751 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:27:35 +0000 Mo 869751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>heh, I hear you. I am partway into April with my allotment/allowances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869736 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:21:30 +0000 Thistle 869736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What dianthanus said! I chuckled when I read that!</p> <p>Time to p,Ay in your closet, IK. And you do have such a beautiful closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869734 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:18:21 +0000 Spiffy 869734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because I basically was starting from scratch with my wardrobe, it wasn't a free for all but building a functional closet did get to be a priority in my budget for a few months. Now that I have a functional base I'm trying to get to a more consisten and smaller monthly budget. I isn't easy! </p> <p>I'd like to know what you bought already this month? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869657 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:51:02 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 869657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, did you know that prophylactic is often used interchangeably with condom? I am laughing right now. Hope you are too.</p> <p>I find the easiest way to stay on budget is to not shop online. I do like the idea of making a list of needed items and sticking to it or having a uniform.</p> <p>IK do you think you can hold out until April? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869652 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:48:31 +0000 Jaime 869652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, perhaps you all would like to share what broke the bank? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goodness-it-is-easy-to-hit-a-budget#post-869650 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:47:17 +0000 Suz 869650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, JulieJohn!! </p> <p>I know what you mean, IK.
