...364 more to go.
Perhaps the hardest part to resist will be the shopping therapy. I tend to be more on the thrifty side and don't always give into the impulse buys, but treating myself if I'm feeling blue somehow is healing. The good thing is that I think we'll discover many new great consignment shops and other avenues to get things second hand. Maybe even hone my sewing skills!!

About Me
- ConsumerLess
- It began with a question, "I wonder if I could go a whole year without buying any new clothes?", and snowballed into a challenge that will most likely impact us more than we realize. We've begun our year long journey of eliminating the purchase of anything brand new that isn't an actual necessity. One whole year, starting October 1st, 2009. No "buy one get one" deals. No in store coupons, free gift with purchase or semi-annual sales. If it's not second hand, if we don't need it to survive, and it's not a responsible earth friendly (sweatshop free) product - then it's off limits. Thanks for your support, advice, and words of encouragement. We are so excited! ~ Jill and Karin
