So a week ago I posted that I was thinking about buying nothing in April. And so I am. Buying nothing, that is.
Starting tomorrow, April Fools Day (a good day to start out a goofball exercise just to see if you can), I will avoid purchasing anything, with a few exceptions: kitty litter and insulin purchases are non-negotiable (some things it’s not worth finding out the hard way that you can’t live without them), beers and polish sausages with onions (OF COURSE) at the ballpark opening week (HELLS YEAH IT IS ALMOST THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!). I’ve also added a $20/week budget for groceries, because I thought about it and while I probably do have enough food in my kitchen to live on for a month, that doesn’t mean I actually want to go without fresh produce that long.
I am totally excited to start buying nothing. How lame is that — it’s not like I’m even going to actually do anything. I’m going to not do things, and I probably won’t even really notice except when I’m telling myself no. Still, I’m really eager to find out how enforced stufflessness works out for me. And to clean out my freezer….
