Does anyone have a scrapping budget?

i think just since starting to digi scrap a couple months ago, i have spent over $100! that is just the tip of the iceberg, babies, just the tip.
 
For my personal scrapping, I don't spend much. I am on GREAT CTs and get 95% of my supplies from that. I am currently working on a client book for a lady with 2 little boys... I have two girls! So, I have been buying a lot of boy S4H supplies that I can safely say I will not use! :) I tend to spend my scrapping budget on albums, sheet protectors & printing lately. I have been digiscrapping for 3 years and the last time I printed was two years ago! I just ordered about two hundred pages and got the protectors and album... good grief! it's expensive to print! :)
 
thanks for all the replies everyone...i think i'm going to put myself on a budget until i at least use all the kits i bought this year (i won't include last year)...i've gotten better but sometimes i'll buy stuff and i forget about it...i know i won't stop buying but at least if i use what i buy i'll feel better about spending my $$$$
 
i'm a SALE shopper, so I end up with stuff I can't use all the time because "it was such a good deal". lol

My budget is $30/month, and lately I haven't been sticking to it. I kind of like the challenge of sticking to a budget and I LOVE not feeling guilty about the zillion products sitting on my hard drive that I don't even want to use.

so I spent $22 on NSD (and I used MUCH self control, too), and since we got paid, I am going to pick up a kit from Miss Mint which is on sale, and then I'm not doing any shopping except dollar deals until July. Because realistically, there is nothing I *need*, and I actually WANT to use most of the stuff I have!
 
Another sale shopper here...

I don't have a budget, for the simple fact that I don't have an income right now, LOL... When I do, I usually have budgets for everything and I stick to them.

NSD blew up the rest of the saved money I had for my hobbies (and then some, I'm affraid to look at the bill, don't even know how much I spent), but before that I used to keep to $15-20 a month. With CTs and sale purchases, that's more than enough to get me going. I just have to resist my impulses and go back to my stash, LOL...
 
Mine use to be $40 every 2 weeks, but I've cut back majorly, trying to save money and I have so much stuff I haven't used. And, I'm blessed to be on awesome CT's! So, I don't have to buy as much. :)
