We're at double digits, y'all, in this shopping ban adventure. I will probably only continue to write updates until I reach a year and then just keep rolling as is because honestly it's not as interesting to write about anymore since I don't really struggle with it as much as I did in the beginning. So I've adjusted and feel totally comfortable with it, which is good!
July went pretty well, though I exceeded my book budget. But since I spent $0 on books in June I guess that's a wash since I spent less than both month's budgets combined.
I destroyed some field clothes so spent $70 on new pants and shirts. I do not buy the shirts used, typically, because I want the maximum UPF I can get for my long days in the sun and eventually the fabric wears out. But I do try to buy the pants used, but couldn't find any long field pants since it's the middle of summer. I also repaired a few pairs of pants that were getting risque, so that's a win at least. I always start the field season thinking I'm all set on clothing and then I immediately rip half my pants and destroy half my shirts and have to scramble. Every time! Anyone else have this problem?
And I did buy a new Buff as well (proof). I buy a new one every few years for the same reason as field shirts - UPF. I've been spending an insane amount of time in the field the last few months (also mostly why my writing has been so sparse), and it was time for one of Buff's new UV+ buffs. So far I love it and it seems great - no sunburn, no windburn. Though of course still gotta use the SPF50!
That's pretty much it. I bought a wedding gift, gifts/supplies for the fundraiser that I talked about last time, and nothing else that I didn't list out already.
