Next month on the 14th will be 19 years since I quit smoking. As a motivator I started buying myself something as a reward for not having smoked that previous year. I have no actual budget as to the amount I spend on my gift. In 1996 it was the purchase of my living room set, another year it was a coffee maker, another year it was my KitchenAid mixer. A couple years ago it was a new computer.
This year I want to buy myself an actual bedroom set, complete with a bed and dressers. I've never ever had an actual matched bedroom set and currently my clothing are in those clear rubbermaid bins with pull out drawers. However, thanks to my owing taxes this year, the purchase of my bedroom set won't be happening until later this year. In the meantime I bought myself something else.
A new purse. I bought one in December last year for $25.00 on sale. I thought it was real leather, but it turned out it wasn't, and already it's falling apart with a busted zipper and what looks like small tears on the sides near the bottom! So I saw a purse that I fell in love with.
It was $100.00 but I got 25% off and had a certificate for $25.00. The purse ended up costing me $50.00 plus taxes!

I didn't buy it online. I bought it at The Bay. It's really cute!
