So far so good

So it's been almost two weeks since I've set my "restrictions" for 2013 and I've been able to follow them, especially about the food and drinks.

I did unconsciously reach for a Mitsuya Cider and put it in my shopping cart. But luckily I noticed just before heading for the check out counter and was able to put it back. Phew!! Some of you may know, but Japan always has "limited time offer" drinks which have some sort of seasonal fruit added to it. This time of year is "peaches" and that's the new "limited time offer" flavor for Mitsuya Cider... AND I CAN'T DRINK IT!!!! Sucks!!

As for the snacks from Calbee, I have actually gone to the snack corner and just stood in front of the products and just stared for a few minutes... Yes, I was drooling too!! 343 days to go!! LOL!! 

As for shopping, luckily, I haven't gone to Shinjuku yet so I haven't been tempted to look around and potentially buy something. Phew!!

Also, I've actually made some adjustments on my purchasing restrictions.

IF I BUY ANYTHING, I MUST THROW OUT ONE ITEM. 

Basically, I've put a cap on everything I own. "Buy one, get rid of one" is the motto. I own way too many of everything right now!!

So now, whenever I have some time, I go through my clothes and see which ones I can get rid of and put them aside for when I do buy something I like. But the best thing to do would be to just throw away clothes I haven't worn in ages all together without waiting for an excuse... I shall try...

Next on the list would be the hand towels, my socks, books, CDs and video games!!

Wish me luck!!
