In February last year, I only bought things that were considered essential. I’m doing the same again this year.
No buying anything I don’t truly need.
My list includes:
- tea/coffee in cafés, with a notable exception allowed.
- magazines
- chocolate/sweets/biscuits
- clothes
- books
- scrapbooking products
- random online shopping. Amazon, I’m looking at you
Frugal February will give me a chance to actively live with our One Little Word – Pause – on a daily basis. I’m interested to see how I’ll fare second time around; I’ll be report back here towards the end of the month.
I like – so yes challenge accepted (col). I’m in for Frugal February … now just to convince Mr Man that #7 won’t hurt of diminish him in any way.

Online shopping has its place, but it’s become too freaks thing for me…

That sounds like a great idea, and wishing you well with it. I am in month 9 of my Buy-No-Clothes-For-A-Year challenge to myself. I’ve also rationed myself to a maximum of one bought book every three months, and no magazines – if the library doesn’t have it, I don’t read it. So far it’s going well :).

One new book every three months? That would be a struggle for me!
