Low/No Buy Year: August 2026

This year is flying by so fast - and it scares me so!

Low/No Buy Year: July 2026

 

What a crazy month I have had! 

Low/No Buy Year: June 2026

I guess at this point I really should call this a low buy and not a no buy year :/

Low/No Buy Year: May 2026

I almost forgot to do a cut! 

Low/No Buy Year: April 2026

I wish this whole month was an April Fool's Joke! It's a BIG one!

Low/No Buy Year: March 2026

Oh hey March!

Low/No Buy Year: February 2026

Low/No Buy Year: January 2026

I'm kind of torn between doing another low buy or no buy this year, so I've decided to call it a low/no buy just in case things go off the rails (hopefully not, as I'm trying to avoid that!) Obviously, I failed my 2024 No Buy and I could have done better during my 2025 Low Buy, so I want to do better in 2026. 

I really want to focus on spending my money on events and activities rather than material possessions. I feel like I achieved that this month, and hopefully that momentum will continue... here's to 2026!

Low Buy Year: December 2025

Happy New Year! Here's to 2026!

Low Buy Year: November 2025

It's my birthday month and I'll cry if I want to.

Low Buy Year: October 2025

  

October 2025 and I'm on another payment plan...

Low Buy Year: September 2025

 

September 2025... and all that jazz! 

Low Buy Year: August 2025

August 2025. All my debts have been paid!

Low Buy Year: July 2025

Hey July - you left me so money poor!

Low Buy Year: June 2025

June, how I did and all that jazz. 

Low Buy Year: May 2025

On the first of the month, I was hit with an unexpected driver's license renewel reminder. At first, I thought it was a scam, but I checked my license and it was due to expire in June, so that was a big chunk of change spent on the 1st, along with the final second artwork payment. So, I started (and ended) May money poor... 

Low Buy Year: April 2025

^ this old image amuses me as I only still own four of the pieces shown and three are in storage :/

April 2025. I'm doing okay ^_^

Low Buy Year: March 2025 (It's a BIG one!)

Okay, there's no getting around it, it's time to come clean. March 2025.

Low Buy Year: February 2025

Let's talk February!

Low Buy Year: January 2025

After truly failing last year's No Buy, it's time to attempt a Low Buy Year. As I felt really bad if I bought something last year, this year I know I can buy something if I want but not buying anything will feel even better. 

So, here's what I bought in January and rules for 2025.
