How much do you spend a month?

Lately I'm thinking about $500 per month since March anyways and I think my estimate is pretty conservative - I'm probably way over that amount. I've been scaring myself a bit with that insane amount and now trying to reel in my np spending especially with indies which is what most of my money is going to now.
Exactly. I try to only get those that happen to be HTF/retired. So I draw the line at £41 for one polish however discontinued it is. For me, its also the shipping - I need at least a few to purchase bc I saw that whenever I buy less, I end up paying for one polish shipping charge which is basically the bottle price! LOL
Thats my defense of getting an army of hauls!!
That's a good idea.
My Husband reckons I should limit myself to about £100 a month as well. Though remember over in the UK things are much more expensive.
I don't know how many times I've said "That's it, I'm limiting myself to the new Chanels and Lippmanns." Husband reckons too many times hehe.
That is another way I keep myself on a ban. I try not to buy new brands. I'm trying only to buy the following brands.
*Zoya
*Dior
*Elevation Polish
*Jade Polish
*AEngland
*Rainbow Honey
*China Glaze

So I guess no Nerds? Since all of them are selling around $100 each...lol...
That's the same with me living in Canada. It's difficult to pay for high shipping for only one polish.
Well, I just calculated how much I spend on polish in July, and I came up with $132. That doesn't include sales tax on polishes I bought in store, but does include on my online orders. This also doesn't include the Hares I got this month as though I received them in July, I paid for them in June.
For me, $132 is a lot of money. I'm a student, I work part time, and I make about $1000 a month. So between rent, car/gas, clothing, food, retirement fund, and nail polish... I really don't have much money left! I need to curb my spending -- I'm going on a ban for all of August, and in September, depending on funds, I'll be limiting myself to $50 for the month. We'll see how that goes...

I have spent a lot over the last few months and I have to slow down, not just for money reasons, but because I'm a bit overwhelmed by my collection. I have too many choices now (for me) and I'd like to use up more of the polishes before I buy a lot more polish.
I'm thinking about limiting myself to just certain brands. Then, I might be able to keep myself under control.

I'm up to two Helmers full and the number of choices overwelmes me too. I can't wear all of them if I just keep buying more. It seems dumb to keep buying polishes and just stuffing them all in a drawer. I'm not into expensive bags or shoes so polish is where all my disposable income goes.
