No-buy

It has recently come to my attention that a serious no-buy is in order. I really want to start to take better control of my money, it always seems to disappear so fast. It is also apparent to me that I am accumulating so much stuff, there is just no room for it, nor do I have much use for it.
So, I am going to try and go the entire month of February spending no money on the following items:

Clothes. This is one place where I really need to curb my spending. I hope that going a month without buying any clothes (this also includes shoes, accessories and jewellery) will inspire me to use what I have more. I also wish to avoid impulse purchases and to really think about what I need instead of my usual "oh that's so cute, I NEED to have that," (when in reality, the last thing I need is MORE clothes).

Makeup. Again, I have much too much makeup that I don't use or even like. I cleaned out my bathroom cupboard and now have a box of things that I will probably get rid of. I also have many doubles of products that I need to use up.

Magazines. At the moment I have subscriptions to STYD, Madison and Harper's. I used to have subscriptions to Cosmo and Cleo as well. When I used to go to the gym (more than a year ago) I used to save my magazines, only to read at the gym. When I stopped going to the gym, I stopped reading my magazines. My pile of unread magazines is completely shameful. I will continue my subscriptions, but I am not to buy any more magazines.

I can't think of any other major categories where I spend a lot of money, but I am really trying to spend as little as I can all month. Hopefully doing this for a month (at least) will help me to bulk up my savings and quit living pay to pay.
