New Year's Resolution - Less Consumerism

I always have new year's resolutions.  Always the eat healthy and exercise more.   But this year I want to reduce my consumerism.   I want to reduce spending and expand my creativeness!

My husband's Motto:  "It's not what it is, it is what it could be!"

Some of the benefits:
- Save LOTS of Money
- Forces me to be creative
- Forces me to be more organized
- Use up items we have around the house
- Reduces my impulsivity
- Less WASTE
- Less stuff = less organization or clutter

EXCEPTIONS:
- Food (Obviously)  But this does not include junk or fast food, I really should cut back anyway
- Toiletries and medicines
- Supplies needed to complete CUSTOM orders

The Plan:
- Excel Spreadsheet to track savings
- Get organized first- organize everything so you know what you have on hand
