Apparently social media is calling for a consumer boycott today. An "economic blackout" supposedly.

I didn't hear about it until after I scheduled a grocery pick-up, but that's probably all we will do today. I did schedule a prescription approval but I don't pick those up until after the 1st usually anyway. I realize it sounds like I'm justifying my purchases, and I guess I am. But it's not like I'm shopping for Shinies today.

After all, I'm trying to not spend every day, not just today. But sometimes I just need to spend money on things.

The Orange Cosmetic store is gearing up for one of their big sales and I had a peek, but I'm trying to stay strong. I don't need anything.

Yes, there are a few items I've given myself permission to buy if they are on sale just because I know I will use them, but I don't need anything.

And so far, I have not made a purchase at the Orange Cosmetic store this year. Last year I held out until March, when I stocked up on half-priced dry shampoo (which I still have plenty of, although I've discovered that I may also love another dry shampoo that I merely tolerated in sample form. But I'm trying to be strong and not buy anything! Even a good deal on dry shampoo which I wear weekly!).

So it isn't really impressive for me to have not spent money at the Orange Cosmetic store for a couple of months, because I've done it before. So my new goal is to spend at the Orange Cosmetic store in March.
