I’m actually quite proud of the fact I’ve made it through 4 months without any non essential purchases. It’s made me re-evaluate items bought on a whim. Whether it’s an impulse buy or whether it’s just a good bargain I can’t resist. The near instant gratification from the power of online shopping has fuelled my habits and is sometimes the only method where I can get certain items to where I live. The internet makes everything so accessible. I mean, I once even bought a vacuum cleaner on the train to a VCAT (court) hearing (representing, and certainly not the accused).
