A week without buying.

Did I mention that I’m going to try not to buy anything this week? I am.

I stocked up on groceries, including coffee and lunches, and I’m going to give it a whirl. I did not top off the Hyundai, so I’m fully expecting to stop for gas in a day or two. But beyond that, I’m going to try to remain receipt-free and see how it goes.

I bought something. Dammit.

I was driving from work last night on my way to a networking event (ugh) and recounting how I’d made it through the day without buying anything, and now just needed to get through this event (at a microbrewery, so there would be temptations to avoid) and my subsequent tennis lesson (not really any danger there) without making a purchase. I’d packed sufficient snacks to be considered a legitimate dinner, so the danger of driving through someplace was minimized.

I’m going to try to buy nothing.

I’m going to try to buy nothing. Tomorrow. One day. That’s all.

No Starbucks. No lunch. No gas. Nothing.

Wish me luck.
