36 items for the 1st half
20 items for the 2nd half
then second half of the year…
it actually improves…
except for a couple of slightly costly items
the detailed report for 1st-2nd Q of 2011:
No More New Entree X Time to Examine: My Shopping Entr'acte
I refrained from buying
since October
because from the record I have been keeping
I thought I am 3 bucks away from the budget
yet
I just realized
actually I forgot to key in certain items
therefore
I am actually 27 bucks
exceeding the budget already
pardonable, right
at least
I vow to keep my hands off
till the end of the year
and this new budget I set
was actually way lower compared to last year
last year:
much higher
in terms of quantity, cost and variety
Curtain Call 2010: Loots of The Year
2011 pros:
- this year I spend more time considering
- there are less regretful & ruthless shopping
- more Zaza, less Zara
2011 cons:
- the not-so-practical high heels
- repeating flip flops
2012 resolution:
I don’t think
I can further reduce this budget
still,
I will try my best
