I usually spend the same in Jan/Feb. I have a certain amount that I budget each money and put into a savings account for birthdays and Christmas - that makes the pain less. LOL I'm not into shopping right after Christmas. If I happen to shop for something I need and see a bargain, then I will buy.
I have not gone shopping since the pandemic, so we have saved a fair amount of money. I've done some online shopping, but it's not been that much. I've also been working remotely since then, so we've saved a lot on gasoline and wear and tear on my car. When we were in lockdown back in March, we didn't have to fill up my car with gas until I think late May! We've only driven my car. My husband hasn't put any gasoline in his vehicle since before the pandemic. LOL
