the rule is you'd only be able to borrow, barter, or buy used. on yahoo! 's main page, an article headline caught my eye. it was this. ...and i only thought...Maybe. so, now, that this has caught my curiosity, i'll probably
try this. here's the link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070103/ap_on_re_us/shopping_sabbatical

Ooo, interesting, I can see why it caught your eye! It would not only save money (which we all try to do) but it would help mother earth by recycling still good products.
Honestly, I've had hand-me-downs all my childhood as the 3rd girl in a row and 4th child born. I rarely, if ever, got anything new growing up. When I moved out, I had to furnish my apartment with ALL used goods (right down to the dishes and curtains) I didn't even have a bed until I was 5 months pregnant with my SECOND child.
Now that I make a decent penny or two, EVERYTHING is new! And I never buy used again.

I saw that story on Yahoo's News.
Eating foods from trash cans got me.
I have sort of a problem that would make some
of that easy. I don't like new things.
I'll go shopping. Then three days later someone will
see the bag, and ask when I went shopping?
I'll say three days ago, and they will say,
" You haven't even opened the bag ".
I do need to not buy things, if I'm not going to use them.
I had plans to use them, shopping in the store. Hmmm...

Being single i probably could. Still yet it would be a major change and challenge. But i couldnt imagine being married with a bunch of kids and trying this.

It's a great idea and I applaud anyone who can do this. But I would have a hard time living by this. Let me think on it though and I will get back to you. Might be fun to try. ;)

Me, no. It kills me to go a few days without buying something for myself. LOL

Can and have.... It's amazing what people will give you for free, if you ask for it.
