Consumption Diary #25

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

  • $520, Use furniture.

  • $10, Used shoes.

  • $15, A crepe and some coffee.

  • $20, A wonderful, amazing Vegan burger with crazy fries.

  • $34, groceries.

  • $50, Amtrak tickets.

RESTRICTED Items Purchased

Items Sold or Donated.

Final Thoughts

  • My credit card gives me a steep discount on Door Dash’s premium services, so I expect there to be significantly more spur-of-the-moment fast food purchases.
