I’m doing another “No Buy July” this year. After our travels in June the credit card bill is scary, but not unexpected. There’s nothing I really need right now, as far as wants go, so I am trying to take a month off from consumerism. I browsed on Prime Day, but didn’t see anything worth buying.

Checking in halfway through the month things are going good. Checking our Amazon order history, it is only toiletries and other household items. I was going to buy a book, but decided to put a hold on it at the library instead. I have plenty of other books to read here, so I don’t mind waiting.

My loose rules for the month are: no “wants”, unless something needs to be replaced. Food, toiletries, and other needs are fine, obviously.
