Buy Nothing Day

Saturday was international Buy Nothing Day  – personally we didn’t do that well with this challenge as the weekend is our time for supermarket and farmer’s market shopping. However we did manage to hire or borrow a number of items over the weekend rather than purchase them. As November comes to a close we have once again managed to spend less than we did last November which is very encouraging given the economic changes that have taken place over the year. November and December is always the time of the year that hubby likes to start spending for some reason – he is in to his PlayStation obsessed phase at the moment. However on the plus side he is happy for now with his old Play Station 2 and buying and selling second hand games on Trade Me so I guess I can’t complain too much.
