No more sales

This month I'm challenging myself to buy nothing on sale. Yep, that's right. I have a tendency to buy something when I think I'm really getting a deal. If it's on sale, my mind thinks of how much i'm saving, rather than what I'm spending and of course I end up spending way too much overall on stuff I absolutely do not need. Late last year, I stopped buying clothes for myself at Target and Old Navy because I find the clothing to be disposable after a couple of months. Even if it's more expensive, I'd rather pay more for solid pieces I can have for several years. This is not to say one can't find quality items on sale like big ticket items (i.e. furniture, leather and home goods). I once heard Suze Orman say you should only buy something on sale if you would pay full price for it. So, that's what I intend to work on this month and going forward. No more crap on sale, and only buying what I would pay full price for.
