Abstaining from shopping for 40 days.
Challenge accepted!
This started out as a conversation between @patriciayee and myself about the joys of eBaying. The thrill I get from eBay is creating value out of things no longer being used, as well as getting rid of clutter. During this conversation Patricia rightly (or righteously) pointed out that I would have less clutter “that still has it’s original tags on” if I would just stop buying things I don’t need. Originally, I scoffed at the idea, but then decided that I needed a personal challenge of the moment. So in protest of adult overalls becoming a fashion trend again and in honor of @patriciayee’s birthday, I take a vow to not buy any non-essentials for the next 40 days.
Overalls should be for farmers, pregnant girls, and plumbers of the mushroom kingdom.
Things you need to know about me before knowing the difficulty of this challenge.
- Every morning I wake up at 7:30am and online shop for at least an hour before going to work.
- Pinterest is my bff.
- Essentials… I overbuy almost everything including essentials. Costco is another one of my bffs (I might be a bff whore). The rule thus ended up being, only buy what you absolutely need and not in bulk.
Here goes nothing, let’s see how well I do.
