Shopping Ban

I'm doing a yearlong shopping ban, starting July 2, 2015 until July 3, 2016. I wrote a more in-depth post about this here, but here are the basic rules:

Things I Am Not Allowed to Shop For: 

- Most* processed/packaged/frozen foods

- Cosmetics and some hygiene products

- Clothes, shoes, and accessories

- Gifts for others

- Electronics

- Cleaning products and laundry detergent

- Books and magazines

- Basic kitchen supplies (plastic bags, tin foil, etc.)

Things I am Not Allowed to Buy New:

- Dishes, pans, pots, kitchen utensils

- Decorations/household items

Things I'm Allowed to Shop For: 

- Specific groceries: produce, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, meat, and ingredients for recipes (sourced as locally as possible!)

- Medicine/pharmacy stuff

- Raw ingredients and DIY supplies

- Household appliances/electronics

I have a couple lists going to keep track of my progress and keep myself accountable:
