For those keeping track, out of the $198 I DIDN'T spend in May, $50 was on impulse food purchases, $130 on clothes, and, as far as I can tell, the last $18 was on unnecessary reading material.  Apparently, I buy a book and a magazine or two every month.  Who knew? 

So, I didn’t buy any unnecessary reading material in May.  The Chicago Library is good enough for me, and, anyhow, my bookshelf is full.

Saved:  $18!
