Final update on January’s “Slow Month”

January 31, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Well, folks, tomorrow is the last day of January and the official end of my “Slow Month” challenge. Here is what I’ve purchased since my last update: Apple Market (Jan. 24th) I forgot to write it down but I’m pretty sure this was what I bought. I don’t have a receipt because I always donate…

Buy Nothing Challenge…

November 21, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S., is known as Black Friday.  It has become a frenzied day of ultra-consumerism kicking off the holiday season.  But you know what?  You can opt out.  Instead of battling the crazy hoards of shoppers, I plan to spend the day relaxing with my family.  I…

Buy Nothing Day…

Click on graphic above for more information. Forget those Black Friday sales with the crowds of rude people pushing and shoving so they can buy “stuff”. Opt out, stay home and enjoy a quiet day with the people you love. Trust me…this is the better plan. a2a_linkname=”Tea With Dee”;a2a_linkurl=”http://teawithdee.blogspot.com/”;

It’s been three weeks since my last grocery shopping trip, aside from picking up milk and a few items at Braums (perhaps $25-30 worth?). Here is what I spent today: Health Food Store: dish soap (Ecover brand) $5.49 Tamari soy sauce (org.) $5.49 tomato paste (organic) $2.49 org. cranberry juice $10.49 (I know that seems…

Day Fourteen…

February 2, 2009 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

David and I went to church today, got gas and picked up Diet vanilla Cokes (yeah, yeah…I need to give those up), then stopped by our daughter and son-in-law’s on the way home. I had cooked three chicken breasts last night so there was one leftover. I sliced it and made chicken sandwiches for lunch….

Day Thirteen…

February 1, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

I could have made do with just picking up some milk and perhaps three or four other items today but David gave me my household allowance today. I figured it was silly to make another trip on Monday to buy groceries when I was going to be in town today anyway. So, I went ahead…

I’m hoping to make it to town tomorrow for a few items but we’re doing well with what we have on hand. This has been a good challenge for me as I see a couple of things I ought to stock up on. The first is Earl Grey teabags. I ran out of my favorite…

Day Ten (Wednesday)…

January 30, 2009 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I would ordinarily have stopped by Braum’s for a few items after choir on Wednesday but I was still homebound. I had some flour tortillas in the freezer so I thawed those and filled them with the leftover rice and bean casserole from the previous night. I had a little bit of jack cheese which…

Day Nine (Tuesday)…

January 30, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Got a little catching up to do after a couple of days with no internet! One thing about it, it’s pretty easy to avoid spending any money when you are iced in and can’t go anywhere. Tuesday night I made the following casserole for dinner: Spanish Rice and Bean Pie2 cans beans (pinto, red, black,…
