[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I deeply admire the desire to do this, contemplate it regularly, and participate occasionally.  I generally save the no buy for Lent.  Or after MLK day.  Too many good bargains right now, so if I buy what I want (not need!) that's deeply discounted these next two weeks, I'll head into mid January ready to live frugally.

Last night I ordered some clothes from a site having a 60% off flash sale (but got a notice this morning that half of what i ordered wasn't available, so win?).  I also ordered some perfume I've wanted for a couple of years that I haven't gotten that was half price, too.

[b]I'm contemplating some goblets from Williams Sonoma, half price.  Don't need but they would be so pretty at all the dinner parties we never have. [/b]

And, I'm desperate for some speciality tea.  Usually you can buy Twinings Christmas Tea at any grocery store, but I never found it this year, so now I'm going to order it online.

I was sick at Christmas and the entire week after so didn't hit any in person sales, so not feeling too bad.  I also have some gift cards - Amazon, Old Navy, LOFT, Talbots.  So a bit of shopping in my future.

But I salute you OP and everyone else!  I will be joining you shortly, just need to get a little Veruca out of my system first.  [/quote]

You can find goblets galore at thrift stores.  Also, serving dishes, great mugs, the list goes on.

I recently bought an original watercolor at Value Village because I liked it.  I google'd the artist's name when I got home and some of her work is going for hundreds on eBay.

I framed mine in a thrift store frame and hung it in the living room.  Total cost:  $10.99 for art and frame.

If you must shop, thrifting is the way to go.  You fulfill that primal need to gather without breaking the bank.[/quote]
