Work in progress but I try staying off Amazon (I have a habit of going there bored and as a result of bad ordering everyone is getting bath bombs for Christmas!!![emoji23][emoji23]) but I have tried buying cheaper, trying to spend no more than fifty dollars on a shopping outing and trying to time my house payment around my last payday of the month so it doesn't hit as hard. I do tend to get bored and go shopping but I do watch it more....its still a balancing act and I have stressed more about money than I use to.....my aunt said it is a balancing act
