Then you can share the subscription, it'll cost you only 40c/week, and it'll be better for the environment! <abbr><em>'Becca’s last blog post: <a href="http://blog.earthlingshandbook.org/2009/05/13/toilet-training-tips.aspx?ref=rss">Toilet Training Tips</a></em></abbr> Great tips!

I also try to make myself wait a while so I can decide if something is a valid acquisition or not. ie can I borrow it from someone instead of buying it? do I really need it? can I repurpose something else? but I love your post - ah, the wanting less....

As Americans, if we all practiced this a bit more our national savings rate would skyrocket and our landfills would have vastly more space. Since our son was born, we've found that what we really want isn't stuff but family time. That means we're willing to buy less, buy used, and get creative instead of having to work long hours just to consume more material things that we don't really need. We're glad you joined us this Thrifty Green Thursday! What a wonderful title for this post!
