Consumption Diary #34
I've been traveling the last week, and so didn't have the chance to post my consumption diary on Tuesday. To make sure I properly keep track of my expenditures, I am posting a consumption diary today on Saturday, and another next Tuesday.
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.
