5. Before you shop for new spring clothes, rediscover your old stuff by sticking to a different category for each week.
6. And then if you do shop for some new spring clothes, prioritize spending at stores with the best return policies so you won't get foiled by a purchase you regret.
7. Invest in a cauliflower prep tool to dismantle the core of this veggie that also happens to be ~cheaper~ in March.
