Temptations everywhere! Grrr...

I guess the reason why I panic about spending now is that I worked so hard on learning to overcome buying for fun.

I'm usually tempted at the grocery store or going out to eat/drink with co-workers/friends. I'm only tempted by clothes if I actually get into the dept. store. I'm also very tempted with buying books. I love Borders and they send coupons pretty regularly.
I can be tempted by pretty much anything if I see something I want or need and I'm there.
I scrapbook too. I do my best to use my 40% off Michaels (craft store) coupons to buy tape and other supplies, stickers and decals. I get so tempted to buy stickers and such for pages I'm not even scrapbooking yet! I have so many awesome supplies and sometimes i hardly have time to scrap!
I get tempted by "general" things at my SuperWalmart or Meijer. I just wander into each department and want to buy stuff. I am a sucker for stuff for my kids. Clothes especially for my little girl. I don't care if its Walmart stuff but if its cute I want to buy it for them.
Also, stuff on clearance. Right now they have 4th of July t-shirts on clearance at Walmart for $2. My kids do not need another t-shirt but I figure if I buy a bigger size...........they'll have it for next year.
I have done GREAT about keeping those feelings under wraps but I do get in and out of the store as fast as possible now for fear I'll overspend.
