I got my state refund today and I wasn't expecting it for another week or two now I'm stressed into a paralyzed state with it because I have so much I need to buy but don't know what to buy with it
Post Body

I got my state refund today and it wasn't much, 269$, but that's 269$ I didn't have before, and there's so many things I can/need to do with it. I'm 8 months pregnant, and have very little in the way of anything baby, so obviously I'm gonna get some things for the baby. But I also need to get clothing for my 4 year old, and I also need to get clothing for myself, also this extra money could give me a little more leeway with getting groceries. I'm so stressed out and I have things in my Amazon cart but can't bring myself to actually buy the stuff. I just don't want to overspend in one area and not have enough for another area. At the same time I also want to spend a little bit of it on myself for funsies, but I feel guilty about doing that, and feel like I have to spend all the money on other people, it's not like I want to spend 100$ on myself, just like 20-30 bucks for myself since I don't get to get things for myself usually since money is usually stretched thin every check. I just don't know what to do, or how to efficiently spend the money to get a little bit of everything I need, and it's got me so stressed out that I feel stuck.

Edit: I wanna thank everyone in the comments that has offered me advice, it means a lot to me. And I managed to get a lot of bang for my buck I took all your advice to heart and went to thrift stores and Facebook marketplace place. And got so much stuff for the baby with money left to save
