Help me someone, for I cannot
Resist my urges anymore
It’s like a magnet pulling me
To buy something for someone or me
I would love to but I really shouldn’t
Well, just a quick peek maybe
I will go in but for a while only
Won’t touch a single item
A fast foray into the mall
Then I will be done for sure
But it’s really not my fault anyway
Why put on so many sales
The thanksgiving sale
The……….Friday sale
The sale before Christmas
The sale after Christmas
How can a shopaholic like me
Resist all this temptation
‘Cause I love to buy gifts
And stuff for me too!
Shoes and perfumes, eye pallets and liners
Blushes and lip colors, dresses and gadgets
And how can I avoid…
The jewelry store displays
That are beckoning me towards them
All alluring, charming, enticing
Telling me to step inside and take a look
Just a teeny-weeny look and here I am
At the checking counter with a load
Of things I really don’t need
Of gifts probably unsuitable
Of item that are totally frivolous
But then I cannot resist…..
And lets not forget the new year’s sale
Can you resist the urge to visit the sales?
Share how you limit your expenditure during the holiday season.
[ Have left a blank before Friday as I don’t like to use the term Black Friday as it’s not deemed politically correct]

Omg I relate to this. I actually put my credit cards in a safe deposit box this year so I wouldn’t max them all out. I’m limiting myself to cash for the holidays. Pretty bad when you have to hide the plastic from yourself.

I go through stages where I shop way too much and then not at all- to the extent that a list sits on the counter of necessities and I put it off for way too long. This time of year really is my weakness- so many deals!

This is one advantage of my move. I was like this too. Try allowing yourslef to spend a certain amount each month. Hope that works. 🙂

Oh the entrapment of consumerism! Something that eludes me completely. Just re-arrange your closet and home items, get rid of old stuff, give away to the needy and you won’t want to buy anything. Or just think about a trip you want to take and don’t spend on that sweater you don’t need! Smiles!
