Actually, I am even worse than that. I am an online sale-aholic.
While I have been trying to limit my spending on fruitless items (I am sipping my Starbucks Chai from home right now rather than marching out into the rain like I usually would to the Starbucks across the street), I have been allowing myself a certain flexibility with buying items I NEED.

Like these Snow Pup mugs and plates. I NEED these, right? Especially since they are 60% off, and match those Snow Pup potholders I got a few months ago on discount? Good. Done. I can host Christmas gatherings with confidence now.

And what about this lightweight tunic from J Crew, that was on final sale and I grabbed one of the last smalls? Only $15 is okay, right? Especially since we are supposed to do post-seasonal shopping to get the best prices?

I mean come on, you just can't pass up a deep purple high-end-look trench coat, perfect for cool rainy days like today, when it was only $18 after shipping, down from an original $50!
... Is there an Anonymous Shoppers Association?

Gah I'm the same - just bought new "work clothes" from J. Crew after i was sent an e-mail about a sale. Somehow it's still saving money even if it's money I wouldn't have spent in the first place. . .
long time lurker, but I finally got my blog active again.
Life: I know! Those sale emails are super tricky aren't they? :P
