Unshopping


I ran into an article about a group of people in San Francisco, The Compact, who didn't buy anything new the whole year of 2006, and it got me thinking. How much do The Big Guy and I spend without even noticing? Books, lunches out, random stuff for Boychild, you name it...

Then I saw this on a peek inside the fish bowl and with all the money issues we're having right now, I decided to try it. Groceries are exempt, and medical issues, but other than that? NADA. Since TBG's car is already in the shop, we'll have to pay that, but maybe that will be the last big crisis for a while. Maybe I shouldn't jinx myself by saying that.
