Steve and I have made a pact. He has agreed to go on a 12-week exercise program and I will keep to a budget. YIKES! HELP! So, after talking to my sister this holiday, I started to tell her my list of things that you just can't chince on.
1. getting your hair done ( I learned this the hard way too many times)
2. hair products (sorry, only Bumble and Bumble here)
3. make-up (I am a M.A.C. girl, and sephora is my favorite store), luckily there are free standing stores in Boulder
4. Jeans (Jamie covered this on her blog) I swear I feel cuter and skinnier in $180 jeans. I wish I didn't?
5. Exercise wear ( I would like my boobs to stay where they are post kids)
6. Baking products (o.k., so now that I am a pro chef with my whole wheat bread and Le Creuset pans, I have been told by a chef to not chince on baking products)
7. Anything electronic
8. Road bikes and jogging strollers
AAAHRG! What do I chince on then?
1. shoes (well, if you consider Steve Maddens chincing. They're not Manolo Blahniks)
2. Handbags (well, I DID just buy a bebe bag for $60, but it could be much worse, right?)
3. Sunglasses (I just bought some new Coach sunglasses, but they were at the Rack and only $59)
4. Shirts (Old Navy?)
So, I may have some work ahead of me. But, seriously, I want to know what YOU chince on and what you don't. We all know Jamie doesn't chince on her jeans as per her previous blogs, and I KNOW I am not as bad as Raimer's (a.k.a. Spoon) Sorry Raims, but even living with you for just 4 months, I would have to agree with James.
Help me out, PLEASE!! I really want Steve to exercise, so I have to do my part and budget.

I chince on gym membership fees.
Oh wait.
I'm with you girl on the budget thing!!! James has had me on one since 2004!!! But let's just say that I still run the books, and I totally agree with all the above mentioned chince and non-chince items!!!! And no need to feel bad about it! We work DANG hard for those top-o-the-line luxuries, right? Good Luck! and maybe you can write ME out an exercise plan?!?!?
$59 sunglasses? What the hell? You'll break or loose them in two weeks.
I'm proud of you. Budgets blow big time. I have Chad's quarterly bonuses spent before they arrive.
I think you already know what's most important to me! There is nothing I love to spend money on more than traveling! Screw expensive jeans and purses. I'm saving up for Europe, baby! And Disneyland...
I am soo glad you know how to post, Rach. You have hit the big leagues. Now, start a blog
