Lo...Lyn - I'll send you one of my BIG jars. ;)<br /><br />Louisa - I know what you mean. I rarely spend much on clothing and it is difficult to imagine doing so. I will probably continue to buy second-hand but this is helping me make better choices. Shoes on the other hand, no problem. I usually go for quality in shoes and while I prefer to get them on discount, will shell out for the right pair of shoes if I know they will last.Taphophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010309734967633575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092110.post-37513371118420987932011-02-08T00:24:46.936+11:002011-02-08T00:24:46.936+11:00Great idea with the jar - really fab.
I've be...Great idea with the jar - really fab.<br /><br />I've been avoiding looking at stuff so I don't know how much I've not spent - but I think I'll do it if I umm-and-aah over anything in particular. After a lifetime of buying cheap/sale clothing, I'm going to find it hard to spend money on expensive, better quality items - but if I had most of the money in a jar, it would be easier to justify it -- rather than five cheap things, one good quality item that will last.louisa @ TheReallyGoodLifehttp://www.thereallygoodlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092110.post-81078015846167960582011-02-06T19:09:29.993+11:002011-02-06T19:09:29.993+11:00You're doing so well.

I like the idea of putting aside the money you 'save' by not buying the things that tempt you - though in my case I think that would bankrupt me!LynShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724603965512647078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092110.post-61379706618424993962011-02-06T11:14:00.769+11:002011-02-06T11:14:00.769+11:00Jejune - it would be totally a doddle if it was ne...Jejune - it would be totally a doddle if it was new clothes only. I think the I only bought 4 things new last year.<br /><br />Cindy - I used to make all my own clothes, but the influx of cheap large sizes on the retail market happening at the same time I had even less free time means I've stopped. I've also lost a lot of weight since then and will have to play around with patterns instead of using the same 3 I'd made to fit. I'm not including undies in the challenge, but they are normal undies not the ooh, that's a cute, wear only in the bedroom lingerie set!

The savings jar is a god idea, I did it retrospectively when I had to replace the indicators on my car @$400 a few years ago. I denied myself things until I reached the target. I like your way better!!!2pawhttp://cindy2paw.typepad.com/2paw/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092110.post-7363042178334677042011-02-06T09:32:57.076+11:002011-02-06T09:32:57.076+11:00Oooh that is a BIG challenge - initially I thought...Oooh that is a BIG challenge - initially I thought it was only 12 items of NEW clothing, but clearly this challenge covers op shops as well! 0_o Best of luck, and enjoy seeing that jar of money grow!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137577463781242181noreply@blogger.com
