Consumption Diary #8
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
$40, groceries.
$10, lentils and a hat from a street vendor.

FINAL THOUGHTS.
You read that right! I bought a bunch of lentils and split peas from a street vendor at our local swap meet. I also got a lovely little hat. It was ten dollars for the whole set: everything was a dollar, hat and lentils and split peas and oats. Many grains for such a great, low price.
