So my reason for wanting to do the 60 day spending ban challenge is because I spend a lot of my money on things I don't really need, simply because there's an offer on, I'm bored or I realise I have a little money spare and just go ahead and spend it for no reason. I have an odd obsession with buying in bulk or buying something in advance before the thing I already have has ran out. So the spending ban is perfect to use up the hoard of products before I buy anymore.
I've chose 60 days because I feel it's going to be challenging enough going through what I hope will be a lovely Summer without buying anything indulgent. Starting it now will make it a September finish, if I feel I can go longer then I will extend it.
The Rules:
I must start this today, 15th July 2013 & it will end on 13th September 2013.
I am only allowed to buy an item when and only when I have finished a product in that category, eg. I can only buy a bottle of shampoo once I have finished all shampoos in my cupboard.
I can spend money on food and drink, Oyster card top-ups and monthly bills.
I have £17.00 left on my Boots Advantage card which I can optionally use only towards things that I run out of.
I will be doing weekly updates to share with you all how the spending ban is going and don't worry, I still have plenty of products to feature even though I won't be spending anything right now!
Are you currently taking part in a spending ban? I'd love to hear from you if you are!
