So you know I have a shopping habit. I also have a lunch habit. I like to go out to lunch, especially during the workweek.

But it's expensive. A cheap lunch on Las Olas Boulevard is $10; it's easy to spend $15 to $18 at the nice restaurants.

So my friend E. issued me a challenge: Bring my lunch a few times a week and put the saved money aside for a trip to Sawgrass Mall.

I'm on Day 1 bringing my lunch today. It's even healthy. What do you do to put money aside for your shopping habit? -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds
