Buy-Nothing January 2024

A list of impulse purchases as they occur to me this month. Normally I would jump to Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress, etc, and buy these things if they’re under $50. This month I decided not to do that. This won’t include necessities like gas or groceries.

I’ll re-evaluate this at the end of the month and see what I really need. I might push this longer than a month.
