This whole process is freeing in more ways than I thought. Btw the title of my blog was suppose to be freeing. I use to look at items everytime I went into the post office in shoppers, now that I know I am not going to look for anything or buy anything, I can walk in and out. I feel more free and I don't feel as though I am wanting for anything.

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
