During the month of February, I am doing a “no buy”… ie. no shopping for the entire month! It’s a struggle, for a bargain hunter and shopaholic like me. Anddddd there are plenty of distractions this month too- Valentine’s Day, brothers birthday, back to work, back to uni etc etc. Usually, those occasions would call for some shopping- but having to restrict myself is hard when the opportunity is so tempting. To clarify, I can shop for other people during this no buy- like my brother for his birthday- just not for myself.

However, there are a few items I currently have my eye on- and if they were to go on sale during this time- I would STRUGGLE to say no.

I was going to call this post “no buy exceptions” as I had two items in mind that I really wanted. But then, the list grew. And suddenly we ended up here- and exceptions are not in the rules so here this is a wishlist instead.

You may have seen in my Organisation Haul that I was conflicted as to which Typo pencil case to buy… still am.

Next up, this gorgeously soft Kmart dressing gown… it has a hood, you guys, therefore- I need it.

You know how I am using uni as an excuse for many of my recent shopping habits- this face mask is no exception. I am going to be in the city more therefore I NEED an anti pollution face mask. (Update… bought it in the Priceline sale… on the final day of January!)

Similarly, if my face ever tinted lip balm goes on sale, how do I say no?

I have been eyeing up this Forever New tote for a while, as I don’t have anything like it. The price is just a bit scary.

And then there’s this Sportsgirl bag, which- BTW- is totally different to the one above. Also scary price. Impatiently waiting for the sale.

That’s the thing with me and shopping- I want and want and want. I create Wishlist and then I buy the things- thinking that’s all I’ll ever need- then the next thing comes out and once again the vicious cycle continues. Which is why, it’s so important I challenge myself to the “no buy”. I’ve recognised my bad habits (step 1), now I just have to overcome them.

I’ll keep you updated 😉

How’s your “no buy” going? Let me know in the comments!
