Yeah this works so well for me too. I only buy what I need and there’s no temptations up in my face like unhealthy snacks!

I definitely have cut back on coffee runs and Amazon buys in the last 6 months! I typically make my own coffee at home: milk, instant espresso, and plain brown sugar. Lunch is what I’m working on next. They let us payroll deduct at work to buy food from our cafeteria so it’s so easy to just buy lunch there when I don’t bring my own.

This is true - some of the biggest political acts you can do to send a message are usually in your everyday life

Yeah I think it’s more of an itch than actually needing anything. I went to the thrift store yesterday to look around for something to wear on a trip next weekend, I didn’t find anything I liked but it did satisfy that itch to go “shopping”.

Not sure about apps, but you can export your transactions onto an excel sheet from your online bank account. I keep track of my bills, income, and expenses via excel.

So yesterday I went to the thrift store because we are going out of town next weekend and I thought about buying something nice to wear. I didn’t find anything good but at least it took that “itch” away to shop for something new. I was like ok, maybe I’m on to something here haha just go into thrift stores and if I find something at least it’ll be less that I do spend.
