I was recently directed to the Buy Nothing New Month website a few weeks ago and made my pledge for the month of October, to buy nothing new!
You can still buy food, medicine, hygiene products etc, but everything else should be bought secondhand, borrowed, swapped or bartered for. I shouldn't find this difficult as we buy very little 'new' items these days, but I will keep you updated here about how we are going and let you know if a situation arises where we struggle with the concept.
I encourage my readers to pop over to the website and make your pledge too! There are some interesting links and ideas if you need some encouragement and they have a Facebook page for additional support.
Enjoy your weekend,
