The Frugal February Challenge

I am participating in the Frugal February challenge held by the blog Big Girls Browse.  There is really only 1 rule for this challenge:

I vow, for one month from 1st Feb, to avoid shopping for anything other than essentials.

The only day that this challenge will NOT be in affect is February 21, which is my 28th birthday. Are you going to participate in the challenge?  If you sign up leave me a link and I'll drop by and say Hi!
