Project No Buy Update: Week 5

Greetings from the Dark Side!

And welcome to the round up for Week 5 of my No-Buy!

Week 5 (February 4- February 10) has also been a tough week. I almost went over my budget when I saw the new Flower Cosmetics display at Walmart. Besides what I purchased from Flower Cosmetics, I have not purchased anything else. Still, new temptations come every week and I am trying my best to stick to my budget.
