A wee experiment

[stef_tm]

In an f-locked post I mentioned not buying a coffee mug today (a huge 4.98 savings!) This weekend I also passed up a few purchases.

I've decided to open a savings account online (via my credit union) and track the cost of "what I would have bought" but minimalism keeps me from doing so. I'm curious to see what my baseline spending would be.

I should do that.

I just passed on a bag of Oreos. Believe me it was worth it.

I'm curious about the list, from a space, time and upkeep perspective - every thing I have in my life requires all three and my supply of each is limited...

i did 30 days of not buying things.
and i made a list of the things that i considered buying in those 30 days.

it wasn't a LONG list but it had a lot of weird things on it.
