The 100 Day No Buy that began on January 1, 2015 ends three weeks from Friday. When I began, I set a goal of paying off a $100 department store card, an average of $10 every ten days.
Yesterday I realized that I have cleared $866 of debt since I began this challenge. This is $866 of extra payments to pay debts off, and does not even include the amount my credit balances have gone down from not using them while making the required payments. I realized that if I pay off my deferred interest Fifty Shades of Grey makeup kit (bought on eBay way over retail when it was Rouge Exclusive at Sephora) in the next three weeks, I will end with $1000 of debt cleared for the 100 day no buy, an average of $100 every ten days! This is way better than I thought I could do. I did have the good fortune to be given extra hours at work since January. I have been working hard, and the extra hours have helped. Also part of the $866 was $300 in credit for returns, but it was a sacrifice - I loved the items and did not want to return them.
Also I have 16 items left to use to make my goal of 100 empties in 100 days, an average of one empty a day. I did this by mainly using my foil samples during this challenge. I'll have three foils going at a time (i.e., a face cream, a body cream, a foundation, etc.) and I get an average of three uses from each foil. I have used some deluxe samples up too, but no full size.
