New Year No Buy Challenge-October 2024

[CoiledOrchids]

made my xmas budget!

I want those black jumbo satin scrunchies as my stocking stuffer. No more conditioners until I finish my stash

no plans on buying anything until everything is gone! it'll be hard but I'm thinking about all the coins I'll save

I'll need all my coins for school anyway

Hopefully: BF will be in my rear view mirror with little to no financial impact on the "personal"

I’m going on a strict no buy, only purchasing staples when they are empty. I don’t need anything new right now

i'm actually proud of myself this year. I'm not tempted to get a new DC.
i have a full 16 oz. bottle of castor oil I can use for my 2025 castor oil challenge. I started doing them when I was a hairlista member. I miss hairlista

Yall know I loveeee me some naturellegrow & sprouted curlies dcs. I'll wait patiently for the spring 2025 sales, by then my current dc will be gone.

I'm not even going to play myself and pretend I'm not going to buy something during the holiday season. And my birthday is in January. I'm not necessarily going to spend all the coins but I'm going to spend a lot.

For 2025, I'll be doing a low buy and low spend year. Still fleshing out the specifics but a green, yellow, and red category seems likely and easy enough to follow.

@B_Phlyy
that's a smart idea. I want to start slow and try a low spend weekend. Those amazon purchases and eating at restaurants is what did me in this year. I looked at my statements and whew chileee the ghetto. Thankfully I slid extra in my emergency fund to cover some of it but still...

2025: continue to automate my savings and my Christmas club account
I learned how to budget so now I know where to cut out the unnecessary BS. I will write out my monthly budget on paper and stick to it.
