Project completed

Well, its February and I've completed my shopping experiment.  I wasn't perfect but I did think about each purchase I made carefully and my credit card bill was so much better this time.  So my hope is that this had helped me become more aware of what my shopping habits are and to think about what I am buying.  As far as the giving, will keep working on that and I have a couple more bags of stuff for my friends/ goodwill.
