On Challenge Differentials
Oct. 5th, 2012 07:15 pmOne of the blogs I occasionally peruse is The Greening of Gavin. Today he posted about a "buy nothing new for a month" challenge.
This somewhat puzzled me, and I tossed the notion at Wonderful Husband as well, and, simply put, it doesn't seem like that much of a challenge to either of us. At least, not with the assumption that there is an exemption for purchasing groceries. We just don't shop that much, and when we (okay, mostly me) do, it already tends to be secondhand. My estate sale hobby, etc.
Now, if there was a "buy no groceries for a month" challenge, that might be a bit more challenging, on account of we like having fresh fruit and vegetables in our diet....
