The Great American Apparel Diet
no buying for one year

Kris

Kris Freeman, 51 is a science writer/editor in Seattle, Washington. Because she works at a computer all day (sometimes all evening), online shopping is a constant temptation. She's pretty good at returning unwise impulse buys, but still spends too much money on clothes. Even worse, online shopping can be a huge time sink. She can spend hours comparison shopping for that special travel bag/shirt/hat/skirt/belt/pair of pants with the security pocket that magically reduces the weight of anything zipped in by 33%. She has removed herself from the print and e-mailing lists of her favorite retailers, but still needs more moral support to stop that shopping.
