Part of my COMPACT agreement (to myself) was that I could still participate in my gymbucks redemption. See in November and December I earned myself $75 in gymbucks at Gymboree. I told myself that I would limit myself to using $25 or $50 worth and giveaway or sell the remaining gymbuck(s). Well I had my cart all ready tonight, I had already talked myself down to only using $25 worth of gymbucks, which basically meant I was getting $51.95 worth of stuff for $26.95, plus shipping and tax. I closed the browser. I don’t want to. I don’t want to buy those clothes. Are they a good deal, YES! When I add up the regular prices of the items it comes to $120.50 and I would be getting them for $26.95. As Kristy would say, they are basically paying me to take them, right!! But it is the principal of the matter. Do I want the clothes, yes, do I need the clothes NO. Who cares what a great deal it is. I am not buying the kids new clothes this year and I am sticking to that. YAY ME!

Wow, go Steph!!!
Well I think I made the right choice. I posted the Gymbucks on a message board and within 5minutes they were sold. And at the exact minute the PayPal for the gymbucks came through, so did PayPal for a Tie Dye Shirt. YAY!
HOLY COW!!!!!! I am soooo proud of you! I didn’t know you had said no to those clothes! That took some SERIOUS discipline! Very good job!
Go will-power!
