during the FTJ's no spending challenge? I have gone to Fareway and Aldi's for groceries for the most part so I'm not tempted to buy other things I really don't need. I've gone in Target once, and purposely avoided the $1.00 racks. I've also stayed out of Goodwill, Stuff Etc, and book stores. It's easier to avoid temptation if you don't go in .

Yes I'm avoiding all store temptations and I even deleted online stores from my favourites list so I wasn't always feeling tempted to go have a look.

Yes! If I don't know it's there, I don't know that I want it, lol.

I did go into one store this weekend where I have a Christmas gift card, but looking around at everything there was nothing that I couldn't live without. I didn't want to "waste" my giftcard $ until there's something I really need. My thinking is definitely changing. For the better!

I know for sure Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, Michaels and CiCi's miss me very much. In fact I am suprised that they haven't called to see what is wrong.

I'm trying to look straight ahead as I'm driving home from work...to avoid stopping at any stores or restaurants.
