    Great shopping! I am finding that it is getting easier and easier as my mindset changes to avoid impulse buys!

    Of course some days I am a firm believer in retail therapy! LOL I just try to keepp those therapy purchases in line with usable items KWIM?

    Self restraint and control are the biggest factors in frugality, I'm finding out.

    Good for YOU!
