Well, it’s January 27th and I have stuck to my guns and not bought anything online. That’s not to say that there arent a few items in my cart that I will purchase on the 1st but they are only essential items that I can’t get elsewhere. I think that having to keep things in my cart and not purchase them immediately, made me think about whether or not I really needed them. There were quite a few items that I deleted after thinking about it. My main goal is to get away from the big box online stores and look at second hand or small business like SalvationArmy, Etsy, Mercari and Ebay. Some of these stores are online but I want to feel better about who I am giving my money to.

Fingers crossed. 4 more days😁
