I admit... I am not proud of myself

May 28th, 2008 at 05:11 am

I have a spending problem! Yes Christina is a spender now... I love clothes! I love food! I love to travel! Even my brother's girlfriend is scared of me that I will bring back shopping bags from my window shopping with my friend today.

Here's what I did wrong this week...

Monday, I went to eat at Burger King after meeting my boyfriend at the bus station because I slept late the night before so I couldn't make myself to eat. 6$ spend... I donate 4$ for the China earthquake which is consider okay except I have no extra to give away and it was not plan. I bought 27.19$ worth of beauty product and food at Walkt-Mart. 5.99$ for sharing the cost of the food with my boyfriend. Geez... I'm so bad I spend like 38$ in one day!!

Tuesday, I bought a frappuchino green tea at Starbucks. I don't go buy drinks often but man the drink cost almost 5$ alone. Then I went to eat lunch and I spend 6$ again for spaghetti. I bought three sets of bikini for 148.49$ and... that's about it =S!! I need bikinis for the beach in Morocco and other place but I certainly don't need that much and I can't return it!

I knew the consequence in it but I thought it wouldn't be too bad. It doesn't matter if we know the consequence but how we are going to pay it back. There this magic thinking that everything will be fine even though I bought the purchases... Grr... I hate it hate it hate it!!

Anyways, I have to take off my digital camera buying before the trip but put it after. I'm using my dad so I will have less to save for now.

I guess I have to make sacrifice!!

    I thought you said you needed to buy some more conservative clothes for Morrocco. Will that not apply to beachwear?

    A tip: be on the watch for a cosmetics brand called E.L.F.---Eyes, Lips, Face. They are only $1 each in USA and have gotten high ratings from Paula Begouin, the woman who debunks misleading cosmetics claims an evaluates the products aesthetically as well.

    I am also a clothes shopping addict! I use the sa blog to keep myself honest. I give my debit and credit cards to my DH if a shopping urge hits me. In the event I do clothes shop it is purchased with cash only. I save for the excursion and make a list clothes/shoes to replace old and worn items.

    joan.of.the.arch: I also need some beachwear but I forgot to add a category for it. My friend in Morocco lives near a beach so I need some as I will go there often.

    managinlife: I'm going to make a list too to prevent from overspending =P.

    i have a problem with spending money on clothes too, but since living with my flatmate (who only ever buys things when they are discounted or cheap in price) i have cut down a bit. i always look for bargains now when i need new clothes. the other day i needed a little bolero and some tights, and i found the tights marked down from 5.99 to 3.66 and the bolero marked down from $24.99 to $13.16 and these are good quality items too! it pays to look around sometimes.

    Yes I look around. I went to the "La vie en rose" and I went to the discount place to buy bikinis. The reason why it went up a lot is because I bought one bikini at the original price at 70$. I would have pay 35$ a set of bikini but the third bikini made the total more.
