Wow! Day 300! Actually, that was yesterday, as I’m a day behind on the blogging. It’s just a number, but I feel like I just made that last turn into the final stretch. The funny thing? I plan to keep going once I hit the finish line. I’m sure I’ll start something new, but I plan to keep shopping the way I’ve been shopping. There are so many good things that the challenge has produced, results I never would have expected.
- My shopping habits have changed drastically. I think a lot more about things, all things, before I buy them. Even small things like a pack of gum. I look at everything long term now and I shop for the future, not the here and now.
- I’ve lost my desire to shop. I still like to treasure hunt on occasion, but there’s no part of my being that wants to go into a superstore or the mall.
- The amount of good things that have come out of no shopping. Since I’ve been blogging this everyday, it’s easy to go back and see all of the amazing things that have come out of the challenge. Money I’ve saved, people I’ve met, ideas for sustainable living, and the list goes on.
Nope, I don’t want to go back to the old way of doing things. I’ll stick with the new plan. It’s very freeing.
