The Idea Behind It

 

To go a bit further than just Reduce Reuse Recycle; to help prove you are able to resist the relentless tide of corporate advertising and promotions that are engineered to make you part with your money; to make you examine in close detail what you actually spend your disposable income on in the first place; to further support local shops, food producers and small businesses.

 

 

What CAN I buy then?

 

You can buy anything you like, provided it is second-hand. Better still, borrow it or find it somewhere like Freecycle or a skip!

 

Are there any exceptions?

 

There are ALWAYS exceptions.

 

* Food and drink

* Utility/work clothing

* Medicines and other medical supplies - but not stuff like Botox treatments or Viagra unless prescribed by a doctor

* Stuff for cleaning (but do try making your own)

* School supplies for children

* Certain essential services like vets, plumbers, mechanics etc

* Things that are essential for your work

* Renewing subscriptions (no new ones)

* Giving money to charity

* Emergency birthday presents???
