If you are trying to stick to a budget are there stores you avoid on purpose because the will power is tested to buy things that aren't on your list or that you really don't need?

The mall in general. Although I have never went on a total shopping spree and buy everything on sale. It is still best to not go or just bring a certain amount of cash.

I agree with Kohls. They always have such big sales and I find clothes for all of us especially the kids when they already have too many. They always have the neatest kitchen stuff too!

That is what I have been trying to do for the past few weeks, and I have been proud of myself.

I ALWAYS find great bargains at Target and Kohl's. I can resist a good deal, so I just can't go in there. I haven't even been to the Goodwill in over 3 weeks for the same reason. I have only been to Aldi's and Walmart.
