Consumption Diary #15

A key part of this challenge is to record a weekly consumption diary. This will both hold me accountable to readers of this blog, and will allow me to think about my consumption habits.

As a reminder:

  • Exempt items are those classes of goods that I am allowed to purchase new, such as food and cleaning supplies.

  • Watched items are items that I am allowed to purchase, but that I would like to cut back on. Examples include travel and certain productivity softwares. I will also always include a justification for these items.

  • Restricted items are items I am not allowed to buy new.

Finally, I will also record the goods I have sold or donated.

Physical EXEMPT Items Purchased

  • $65, swap meet shopping!

  • $8, some seltzer from Virgil Market

  • $4, some coffee cokes Virgil Market

  • $9, groceries

  • $22, tickets to a talk with Kazuo Ishiguro

Final Thoughts

  • It’s been quite some time since I have gone to a writer giving a talk. Possibly, the last time was when I was in college. I am very excited!

  • I also bought a bunch of new clothes from my local swap meet. Lots of fun.
