Buying Stuff Rules


  1. (except underwear and socks) do not buy new clothes because there are so many thrift stores that have cool things and who wants to buy into consumerism?
  2. do not buy snacks unless it's something i've never tried before/i'm in a new state or country.
  3. try buying stuff from people before going to a store.
  4. use gift cards as soon as possible.
  5. do not buy cosmetics until i'm done with all the ones i currently have.
  6. buy animal products from farmer's market (or local brands).

Advertising That Has Worked On Me



  • 2010 summer - WholeFoods gives out samples of Fage honey Greek yogurt. End up buying a case of 12 for $10 which actually is a good deal.
  • 2009? - spend $100 at Radioshack, get a $10 gift card. Currenty still have the gift card because there's nothing to buy from there.
  • 2007 - socks advertised as being made from recycled cotton
