I like all the sales for back-to-school shopping! Now I buy notebooks to use at work or to journal in. Fun pens. Poster board for vision boards. Sometimes I'll buy stuff for my friends' kiddos.
Every other fall, I try to replace big items. New computer, new towels or linens, and I'm addicted to new gadgets -- I probably have more cooking appliances than a woman who doesn't cook should, but you know, it was on sale and I try to use the breadmaker at least once a year. lol
I used to be a summer is best girl, but honestly, fall is probably my safe time of year. I consider it a renewal.
