Day Two- Unsubscribing

My first goal was to stop spending money on anything besides bills and food.
My second goal was to unsubscribe from shoppy emails (you know, the ones that tell you they have a sale or you could save 20%! as if that’s anything, but it gets me every time).
I don’t really know how to unsubscribe from emails unless I get one first. Then it’s easy, you just follow the link at the very bottom (in the tiniest print ever).

The emails that I have gotten in the past week which I’m unsubscribing to so far, are:
IKEA,
Threadless (they make awesome t-shirts),
OldNavy (who had at least 4 pop-up adds offing 15% off as I was trying to unsubscribe),
Proactive (they send more email and mail asking me to come back than a needy ex-girlfriend),
James Avery,
ThinkGeek (that one was hard, as I was scrolling down the email trying to find the unsubscribe button I clicked on like 5 things).
And southwest airlines, not because I’m tempted by anything but because they send so. many. emails.

I’ve been staring at my online shopping cart from ThinkGeek for almost an hour. I just Love their stuff. THIS right here is my problem. I know I don’t need these things, but they are cute, or funny, or cool. UGH! I need to stand firm. I already caved today and bought like 5 mugs from the starbucks that is inside our grocery store. *sigh*

I closed the ThinkGeek window, shopping cart full, With-Out buying anything. Yay me.
