You know you are doing good when a place you used to shop sends you a "We miss you card" and offers you 20 bucks towards your next purchase.
Sorry, DSW. I don't miss you. I actually forgot about you.

About The Project
- A Year of Nothing New
- The Mission: Eliminating unnecessary purchases to lighten our consumer footprint.
The Gist: We will not buy anything new except:
Necessary toiletries/household products
Food/beverage
Clauses:
The Gadget Clause - We will try to repair items before we replace them. If we cannot repair them, we will replace them with used goods.
The Second-Hand Clause - We can purchase any item used. However, for any item brought into our homes, another similar item must be removed and donated.
The Service Clause - We may purchase any service, such as a massage or dinner out, as long as it does not result in bringing anything new into our living spaces.
The Gift Clause
Giving - Gifts given must adhere to all rules/ideas as listed above.
Receiving - Gifts received can not be solicited.
We created this blog so we'd have a place to check in and hold each other accountable.
We don't know how this will go, but we hope to live lighter, save money, and find contentment.
~Courtney & Stacey
