Yeah, at some point, I switched from not buying to compacting. Around the time DH applied for this job. But I've managed to do as much with used purchases and local sourcing as I reasonably could, trying to at least compact for the most part.
I'm all about goals. I want to buy a house that needs lovin' and do as much in the most thrifty, simple fixing, reusing and green ways as possible. I've hunted down the Habitat Re Store, which is just cool.
I want to support artisans with my purchases. I plan to make and make do. I will, as always, try to source used or scrounged before I buy new.
p.s. Lauren - go write an article.
