Clothes Shopping

Members Were Sparked

When you feel your motivation waning, go clothes shopping. You'll either be pleasantly surprised at what size you fit into, or you will see how far you still have to go to reach your goals. A little reality check, either positive or negative, can be a good thing and really keep you motivated.

Listing

Make a list when you need to go shopping. It can be food shopping. It can be clothes shopping. It can be hardware shopping. A list will help you stay focused and on track. I've also found I spend less if I give the list to my hubby. He sticks to the list like glue!

always have a list

when shopping always take a list - whether its grocery shopping or clothing or whatever a list helps to eliminate those impulse buys that zap our budgets.

MORE INFORMATION:
Taking a list keeps you to a scedule as well - keeping you on target of where in the store you need to be. Wondering around aimlessly leads to all kind of purchases that you have no intension of getting therefore spending money that is outside your budget.
Make the list according to need not want!
