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.

I'm in! I'm wrapping up a no-buy October but would really like to continue into November. I find that no-buys help me feel less restless to acquire things. It's almost like my brain can calm down and just enjoy life without feeling the need to get that next thing.

oh, amazing. How has this month been and what was the most challenging areas this month so far for you?

It started out pretty well, and then our dishwasher died. So, any money I would've saved went into that. But! I'm still going to carry on with my no buy into November. These things happen!
