Consumption Diary #27

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

  • $18, Doordashed Acai Bowl

  • $18, Doordashed Curry

  • $27, Doordashed Vegan Chicken Sandwich.

  • $70, Groceries.

  • $15, A (used) suitcase

Final Thoughts

  • Another week of vigorous economic stimulation! Chase giving me premium Door Dash has turned me into a definite glutton, and I bought a lot of nice coffee grounds and soy milk this week.
  • My mother wants me to do a piece on John Oliver tricking stations into advertising a sex blanket. That'll be some nice easy content to keep you people satisfied.
