Last month my challenge to myself was to stay away from the supermarket. I did pretty well...only went once when we had guests over and once or twice to grab milk and rolled oats.
This month I am going to give it my best with the buy nothing challenge.
Okay...I admit that yesterday I did buy TWO glossy mags, but in my defence I didn't see this challenege until this morning...so from today until the end of the month...no unnecessary purchases.
That means...
No new clothes
No new gadgets
No new furniture or housewares
No salon services
No makeup
No tools
No whatever the hell else people buy
If you must absolutely acquire something non-edible or not essential to growing your own food or for your survival, then you must borrow, barter, or buy it used. If you end up buying something new that is non-essential, I'll be hosting a weekly Sunday Confessional for you to justify your purchase. So, just think about having to confess to the world what you couldn't hold off on buying.
Wanna join me?
I am also continuing my NO plastic bags into the house challenege...my other half even remembered the other day...what a guy!
