3 days down out of 90, and so far we would have purchased:
1. paint (for the office--I think it needs a little stenciling)
2. a stencil (to be fair, I said I could make one out of cardboard, though Andy has some doubts. The man has played Pictionary with me, after all)
3. wooden knitting needles - size 9 (some yarns are just too slippery for metal needles, unless one is into knitting for the swearing opportunities)
4. more flowers (I have a flower pot in the back yard that I forgot, so I'm attempting zinnias from seeds, but buying plants makes me look like a better gardener)
Not bad, though I'm not sure there's any real "personal growth" being achieved by not buying these particular items (especially considering all the swearing).....
And on a side note--the He-Man Duct-tape bandaids were on a little side-bar of the regular bandaid isle at Fred Meyer (Kroger) grocery store. Sounds like a lot of men will be getting them for Christmas........:)

90 days, that's a while! I've thought about temporarily swearing off shopping myself, so I will be following your journey with interest.
I love the idea of adding up what you 'would have' spent. That feels like a really positive way to save - I'm almost tempted to try it!
The He-man duct tape band aids are awesome.
