What have you resisted spending on today?

I like positive threads in the mire of debt.... so similar to the 'small DFW things today' threads, but specifically, what have you battled against in your brain and NOT spent money on today?
E.g... today I started surfing the net to look for a dress for a couple of occasions coming up.... but I've persuaded myself that NO! I will wear one I already have. It feels good! Also realised that I have a necklace that matches already, although I broke my going out bag... still better than getting a dress!
Over to you....

Chewing gum. I forgot to take my gum to work and was going to buy some more, but I decided not to when I had two packs at home.
Not that it would break the bank exactly, but these things add up

A new branch of TK Maxx has just opened close to where I work and wondering around the homeware department at lunchtime today I managed to resist some lovely le creuset cookware, just need to keep resisting the urge to go back there next week.Worrying won't stop bad stuff from happening, it just stops you from enjoying the good.0

I was planning to have lunch with a friend but she couldn't make it so I stayed in and carried on working saved a few quid.0

I managed to avoid the 'popping in for milk but leaving with £15 worth of groceries' trap by asking my other half to collect it on his way home.
It worked! Impromptu NSD!

I'm terrible but I stayed strong!
A Cafe Nero's coffee in the morning, on my way to work. But this was more to do with the massive queue inside than my willpower sadly.
I also resisted buying magazines and chocolate during my lunch break and stuck to my packed lunch. Yay me!
