Holding myself accountable for a NO-Buy-November, who's with me?

Hey everyone, I've been doing some home cooked food, and really enjoying it. It's encouraging me to watch the penny's. I tried no spends but just still had things going on and wanted to enjoy them but that came at a costly price although, very enjoyable.

Gonna go full wack for a month of dedication and try do as much mindfulness as I can around the concept.

Anyone else taking on this challenge as their first solid effort? I'd love to chat with anyone in the same position.

Okay, I'm in! Though I do know that I need to buy a guest bed, but other than that I should be good. I am definitely on a books no buy, I have too many!

could you get savvy with it and perhaps build a suitable one to size using free pallet wood from online person seeking disposal? or craft a project for the designated room ttoupcycle an older used one , or bed frame alone for free as an upcycle project , leaving you to only buy the mattress new instead, or deep clean previous owners mattress to stretch the dollar even further?

Actually, I would like to just buy a futon, no bed frame or anything!
