[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you feel like trying to join on the "Year of No Spending" for at least one month, or want to encourage those who do, post here for encouragement and feedback.

I'm going to try.   I don't have a shopping habit, but I do overspend on groceries, convenience foods, and takeout instead of cooking.  And I am a sucker for things I think will be convenience gadgets (or stuff my kids want).

So today I notice there are two things I want to buy:

1)  a new non stick sautee pan (I have and old one where the lining is wearing off, and also it is too small, I need a slightly larger size)

[b]2) My daughter wants me to buy her an SAT Prep book.[/b]

3) tray for an invalid to use for eating in bed or on the sofa

I am going to sit on these things for a while before buying them and see if I can make do or get them a different way (library, check my kitchen cabinets to see what I have that I'm not using, etc.)[/quote]

Ask friends with hildren who are a year or so older if they have any slightly used ones.  heck your DC’ school career center t see if they have any; I know at our school people bring in their old books for others to use.   [/quote]
