OFFICIAL No Purchase Club for OCTOBER 2014:
So, something that I don't think has been done for a while, but I think it may be time :embar: This is the OFFICIAL No Purchase Club for OCTOBER 2014 Are you a clothing whore? Are you weak with money? Do you need some help to be strong? Well this is your chance! The rules are simple. By...

I found the original(?) here, so I'm mainly stealing the idea and words from @Newcomer.
If anyone else is like me and needs to learn some delayed gratification and does a little too much "retail therapy" then this is your thread!
Consider this a support group. As per Newcomer:
The rules are simple. By signing up here, you agree to the following terms:
1) You will spend not one penny for the entire month on any clothing or clothing-related item(s) for yourself.
2) You will perform some form of maintenance on your clothes/shoes (sewing buttons, polishing shoes, etc)
3) If you sign up before October 4, 2019* you may allow yourself an emergency fund of $100 and no more. The emergency fund is to be used only in the event of a true emergency; a funeral, wedding, or some socks/underwear, etc.
4) Should you fall and make a purchase you must report the purchase here. You will then resume the challenge to the end of the month. No need to report an emergency purchase.
I got rid of the official sign up and score card rules as I find them unnecessary. Just remember, don't beat yourself up if you falter, just get back on the wagon!
"At any time during the month, should you feel weak, use this thread so others may help talk you out of a purchase " ~Newcomer
