🛍️🛍️Buy Nothing Day🛍️🛍️

Well, today is Buy Nothing Day, and when did you last do this, buy nothing at all, not even a pint of milk!! Or anything at all online !

We are told by the consumer organizers that we must have this and must have that, but we don't need it the minute it comes out in the shops or online. In fact, most of the time, we don't actually need it at all. If we all stopped and thought about what we are actually buying, we would save a lot of money and produce less waste.
You see something and think I must have that. Stop and think, do I need it, will I use/wear it and is it value for money? You might be surprised at how much you don't buy that you thought was a must-have.

We tend to overspend on food as well, cos something is reduced or looks lovely and so much get's chucked in the bin cos of stupid use by dates. Most stuff keeps for ages after that and is perfectly safe to us.
There are 3 tests to see if food is ok, Look at it, smell it, have a little taste, and if they are all positive, then eat it. There are millions starving in the world and we all just bin stuff for no good reason.

Well, today give it a go, and see how you get on, and let us know how you get on. If you survive a day, try it for two or three days etc. It is surprising how easy it becomes to make our own minds up about what we need and don't need, and how much better off financially you will be. Nothing is worth going into debt for and that includes credit cards.

So, today, let’s us have some fun with no shopping and post anything no shopping related along with our usually friendly fun and chit chat!
