Tricia,

Its hard to walk away from some of those deals. I try to save as much as I can on holiday gifts. I may have to give in eventually and get a Wii since they are so much fun!

Haha – I had a hard time walking away from that too, but I wanted it for me. I love guitar hero, and I had a hard time walking by some killer sales for items I wanted at the mall.

Seems everyone is having awesome sales to bring in buyers – Practically all of Macys is 40 – 60 % off.

Good for you! Congratulations! Doing what you did is a sign of personal and financial maturity. Savor the feeling of self-control and of knowing that you made a mature, long-term decision for your family’s financial health. It gets easier over time to keep walking away. I sometimes prefer to just avoid stores, because it’s amazing how easy it can be to start wanting things that we don’t really need!

So, I’m one of those people who dies of curiosity easily. What the heck was this thing you said no to? (Well, in reality, you said no to yourself, which is far more impressive.)

Hey Tricia! So proud of you for walking away. When I go shopping, I sometimes ask myself,”what would Tricia do?” I am also making homemade gifts for Christmas this year. So excited! Have a great day everyone!

It took all I had not to go shopping this past weekend. The only person I am buying for this year is our son and I ordered his on-line at a great price and got a rebate from Ebates.
Walking away is hard…I am very proud of you for doing that. Keep up the good work!
