What store is your weakness?

Everyone has a weakness. A store they can't walk in without spending a fortune and totally blowing your budget. I have let my Sam's card expire since every time I walk in there I spend $100 on four or five items.

But my real weakness is Trader Joes and Whole Foods. I can't go near those places. If I do, I spend so much money on things that are delicious, yes, but way out of my budget! (I especially fall for the toddler and kid organic snacks, $4 for a box of Teddy Puffs? Sure!)

So what store gets you?

  1. I've always been a cheap-o, but used to my "get me" store was the Dollar Tree. "It's only a dollar", right.

    But now that I know how far a dollar will go, the Dollar Tree is too expensive! lol

    I guess, though, Home Depot/Lowes would be my budget-buster stores. We are constantly working on home improvement/remodeling projects around the house and yard, always needing something. Just about everytime we go in there for something, we come out with several other things, too.

  3. I have a weakness for Trader Joe's but I do budget for a few trips there a month.... so I have to say I try to stay away from target! If I stick to my plan, I'm ok but if I get distracted by the clearance deals or clothes.....
