Hi guys since I last made a post. I stopped using TikTok and watching shopping hauls on YouTube and I haven't shopped much except for a pair of jeans and lipstick! What scared me is my sister helped me clean my room and closet and since December she counted how many purses I had purchased and there's 21... I didn't realize this number and it shocked me..They were not pricey. I bought them all from TJ Maxx, Burlington and Marshalls but in the end it does add up and just junk in my room. And some of them I regretted buying but can't return them anymore. So what I've been doing is I gave away two to my friends and one to my sister. To have more space in my room and closet. I still have kinda of a mess in my room but it's getting better.
But the problem now is the spending on Starbucks and takeout and door dash.... It is like an addiction. I go to Starbucks every day and I buy a refresher, once a week cake pops and bread for my nieces and nephews because they always ask me for some and their parents will not buy them for them. And I buy for co-workers too. So I refill the Starbucks card like every other day 25 bucks. It is not good... Then door dash. I don't want to know how much I spent on there but I get these impulses of ordering and "spoiling myself." I tell myself I deserve it and I get hungry.
And my parents always taught me not to be cheap about food but when my mom came to visit she looked concerned and said, "you spend too much money on doordash and food outside. cook for yourself. You spend way too much." But I hate cooking... and I am not good at it. The bad part is I post my orders from Doordash on social media and then my sister tells me "Yummy, I want some, I am going to order it too." So I am making her spend too. but she is good at saving and is very cheap but she still spending. I am the sister that always offer to pay for everyones food and friends too but the other day I finally spoke up and told my friend, "let's get separate tabs." and I thought she would get a bit upset but she was fine. Because I would always pay and she wouldn't offer to pay. So every day I spend about like 40 on food...That is not good and I try to recreate the Starbucks refresher drink at home but they don't taste the same. It is an addiction.
