happy new Year, everyone!
I desire you the very best in health and wellness as well as happiness for 2016!
I mentioned yesterday that January is most likely the worst time to begin a No-Buy since there are so many temptations with clearance sales as well as the winter months are ripe for hibernating as well as shopping. And that’s why, for 2016, I’ve decided to do something somewhat different – a low buy instead of a No Buy.
2016 Low-Buy
Ingrid as well as I have been chatting back as well as forth about doing a Low-Buy for 2016 as well as formulating what the rules should be. Having tried a Low-Buy before as well as then just coming out of a full year of No-Buy, I understand that I requirement to be realistic with my goals. Saying I’ll limit myself to just $10 a month just isn’t going to cut it. And so, my Low-Buy will be:
• focused on not buying unnecessary makeup items
• keep makeup costs within the allotted monthly budget
• Replenishment of completed beauty products is okay as well as not counted as part of the total
My Low-Buy Budget is as follows:
• January – NO HOLDS BARRED!
• February to March – $50 per month*
• April – $250 (to account for Sephora VIB sale! )
• may to September – $50 per month
• October to December – $200 per month (VIB sale as well as holiday sets!)
So that’s a overall of $1200 a year (excluding January!) What do you think? Is this not Low-Buy enough? I’m willing to entertain suggestions!
Although… I do have to insert a disclaimer here: we’re going to Japan in the spring so you understand that that means? gain access to to all the remarkable Oriental beauty products that I can get my hands on! My Low-Buy limit is null as well as space during my trip!
In the meantime, it’s officially January, as well as you understand what that means:
* Excludes applicable taxes
EDIT 1: a concern was asked about what would occur if I go over my monthly limit? If that happens, I will have to deduct the overage amount from the comply with month(s)!
However, if I don’t utilize up the monthly budget, the leftover amount does NOT bring over.
EDIT 2: I was persuaded by fivezero, so I will bring any type of leftover amount to the next month.
