Consumption Diary #29
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.

Final Thoughts
- I am with my friend Molly in Portland. I took Amtrak to get there, and well, I thought I had prepared by purchasing a bunch of snacks in order to avoid the expensive cafe car. Well… That clearly didn’t happen. Lots of splurging this week, and next week as well. Amtrak was an interesting experience. It was way too long though: LA to Portland is 30 hours.
