We’re on day 3 of JUST SAVE JANUARY and today’s challenge is to delete shopping apps on your phone AND unsubscribe from shop emails.⁣
⁣
I’m not exaggerating when I say my love for Amazon runs deep. And goodness they make it easy to buy stuff, don’t they? A couple easy clicks and you can have anything on your doorstep in 2 days.⁣
⁣
But Amazon purchases (and ones from other retailers like eBay or your favorite clothing shop app) can add up quick. So this month let’s make it a little HARDER to impulse shop before we give ourselves a chance to think it through.⁣
⁣
With Amazon in particular I like to add things to my shopping cart then “save them for later”. That way, I know I’ll still have a record of things I thought were interesting, but I give myself some time and space to decide if it’s something I really need. And after about a week if I’m still thinking about that thing in my cart, I know it’s something I was really interested in. But in most cases, I completely forget about it.⁣
⁣
Also, let’s take 10 minutes today and clean out our email! How many shops are sending you emails that not only take up valuable time to look at, but tempt you to buy things you don’t need? Most shops list sales on their website, so it’s not necessary to subscribe to their email list as well.⁣
⁣
What do you think? Do you feel a little better set up for success after removing some of the spending temptations we’re constantly bombarded with?⁣
