April 2021: What I bought this month
Here we are again, another month another spend report. This is the one structured blog post that I have been able to consistently incorporate into my blogging schedule. It is very practical and is a great exercise for a recovering shopaholic like myself. April was my birthday month (oh hey fellow Aries!) so I know […]
February 2021: What I bought this month
February is always an easy “low-spend” month because it is a shorter month. Unfortunately, this was not the case for me. My spending this month was significantly higher than last month (which was my no buy month). I had to get a few gifts this month which explains the increased expenses and I have already […]
January 2021: What I bought this month
Another month another spend report. This of course will be a no-buy month edition. If you read my previous post (re buying less and low-buys) then you already know that I am making a conscious choice to buy less this year mainly in the clothing category. Because of this, my spend reports may look a […]
What I bought this month: December 2020

November 2020: What I bought this month
Another month in the books. Since this is basically a personal lifestyle blog, I try to mix in a bit of diary-like posts here and there. These posts are not my usual “guideline” or “top tips” content but rather just an update on things I care about and love to talk about. I am not […]
October 2020: What I bought this month
Another month another spending report. Every month I do a quick round up of my accounts and spending. I love to do this so I will continue to document this process on my blog. It’s a great exercise and it provides you with the ability to look back and see what your spending was like […]
September 2020: What I bought this month
Another month, another spending report. I always try to update my excel sheet of my spending throughout the month (I aim for once a week). This helps me keep on track in terms of my budget and allows me to have a good sense of what I am earning/spending throughout the month. This will be […]
August 2020: What I bought this month
Part of my end of month routine is to take a detailed look at what I spent this month and what I can do better next month. I really try to be conscious and smart in my spending. As part of my debt journey, and because I truly do love writing and readying about money […]
July 2020: What I bought this month
To compliment my debt diary I think it would be cool to do a what I bought this month to document my seemingly out of control spending (HELP). As much as I try to be frugal, I find that this quarantine has really aggravated my past poor shopping habits. I have shopped more during the […]
