Compacting

I have thought of a few things that I will have to buy. My disabled mother lives with me and I have promised her two bags of rye grass seed so I will be picking that up sometime and Matt and are I are going to a costume party (maybe) for Halloween and if that bears out I will buy us each a new costume. A useless expense? Probably but Matt and I do go to a sci fi fantasy convention every year and a good costume can be recycled. My Binder that holds my DVD collection is getting rather full and I will soon run out of room. That is not something I expect to be able to find at a thrift store but I am going to be wracking my brain for creative solutions until I actually run out of space. The other thing I will probably buy is the Vonage Kit to subscribe to their phone service as I do not currently have long distance service and my job is another town.

I want to keep a written record of how many brand new things that we buy so that I can keep track and I am going to try to keep them to a minimum. . I am thinking of this no buy challenge like a game that I am playing to challenge myself and to turn expectations upside down. The expectation is that the more stuff you can go out and buy the better you feel about yourself and your position in life I wans to see how long I can go without buying anything new.

Shopping should not be hobby; for a long time I have been at the point that I buy new stuff so frequently that I never give myself an opportunity to enjoy the stuff I have bought that is why I have games I have never played.
