For some reason I decided July is a #nobuy month for me and #fountainpens (and inks and #stationery). Now I feel like some kind of masochist with that darn TWSBI Heat out and all the ink samples I’m exhausting but not buying bottles of yet. 😭😭😭 I keep telling myself I can do hard things… 😂😭🤪

I’ve had this lovely blue teapot for years. It is a possession I will take with me when I downsize and move across the country this summer. Originally it had a bamboo handle but that broke. There was some copper wire hanging around the house so I fashioned an alternative handle which I quite like.

I have been trying to live simply for years, but what this comes down to is intentionality. It’s a work in progress.

With over 100 books I’ve purchased still waiting to be read, I feel like 2023 is a hood year for a #nobuy @bookstodon

Das Thema #wmkatar - Werbung muss ganz anders diskutiert werden.
Wer gegen die WM wirklich protestieren will, der sollte konsequent keine Produkte der Firmen kaufen, die bei der WM werben. 
#Nobuy unter diesem Hashtag lasst uns dieses Thema diskutieren.

#rewe ist sicherlich kein Engel. Darum ist es OK einen Umweg zu fahren.
Das Thema #wmkatar - Werbung sollte aber noch weiter durchdacht und das eigene Einkaufsverhalten überdacht werden.

rewe ist sicherlich kein Engel.
Trotzdem sollte das Thema #wmkatar - Werbung nicht übergangen werden.

#NoBuy
一月份的NoBuy执行的还是比较成功 :ablobpats:
没买护肤品也没买化妆品 :ablobpats:
铁皮了Charlotte Tilbury的粉饼 :ablobpats:
我怎么执行力这么强呢？

7 more days until my grocery #noBuy is over and I can bust out the candy.

I'm oscillating pretty rapidly now between "ooh there are still so many things I can make with what's left!" and "these pumpkin rolls are disappointing, where's my fucking chocolate".

Week 6 of my grocery #noBuy. Noodles with sesame oil, soy sauce, onion, garlic, dried shiitakes, canned sardines, overwintered kale, and foraged nettles from my neighbor. I feel like a genius tonight, the sardines really bring everything together.

In theory there are two weeks left on my grocery #NoBuy. I'm considering whether to cut it short to stock up for a potential coronavirus isolation period. We still have plenty of calories around, but we don't have as much easy food as I'd want for an illness. Maybe I'll just throw a couple cans of soup onto this week's staples.

Overall I'm super happy with how this has gone, I've cleared out a lot of random shit & there's more room in the pantry now. Think I'm gonna make it an annual tradition.

It's week 4 of my grocery #NoBuy and the pantry is only just starting to feel emptier. There's still plenty of food, but the cooking effort : excitement ratio is increasing. It's beans & greens time.

We've run out of enough stuff that I made the minimum order size for a grocery delivery. Cat litter and sodas, yay! I also decided that "fruit to grab and eat" counts as a staple so we're getting apples & bananas.

Today's grocery #NoBuy trip: I went to Grocery Outlet, which is usually a dangerous source of nonsense foods ("it's cheap!") but was also conveniently near where I was today, while hungry. Bought soda, milk, bread, eggs... and then told myself that mayonnaise is a pantry staple, I just won't open these walnuts until I've eaten the last of the pumpkin seeds, and half a bottle of honey + only one evaporated milk counts as "out".

So, failure, but it could've been a lot worse.

I ran some numbers in my head trying to figure out if I'd be able to make the minimum for grocery delivery with my #NoBuy rules, because I'm almost out of cat litter.

Then realized: What "almost out" means to me is that I just opened my last box and poured some of it out. There is still a good two weeks' worth of cat litter in that box.

Also my brain really wants to justify getting more sodas.

Yesterday was the first grocery shopping trip for my grocery #nobuy. I was also allowing myself ingredients for the specific pies I'm making for today's pie party, so I bought lemons and limes. And milk, bread, eggs, and tortillas.

I thought we might have 1-2 lemons at home, but we actually had 4 huge ones, so the lemons were completely unnecessary and now I have a whole bag of extra lemons. 🤦‍♀️

From National Pie Day (Jan 23) to Nerd Pi Day (Mar 14) I'm going to do a #NoBuy grocery / #UseItUp pantry challenge. Does anyone want to join me?

I just took inventory of my freezer and in addition to a ton of perfectly good food, there was soup from 2018, yikes.

My not-buying-stuff-project is going well, and even though it's over soon it's been a clear win. I have however bought some stuff. Like today I had forgot my safty reflectors at home. And I thought better safe than sorry.. #nobuy

I've bought so much "stuff" in the last few weeks I feel shopping-saturated. I think I'm gonna try to do #nobuy november.

I'll gladly spend for repairs, but I don't feel like I need more stuff right now.
