My immediate future may include a period of un/underemployment beginning in September. I've been looking at my spending habits to see where I can reduce expenses and I'm fairly pleased that there is not too much to cut. By design and by luck, I've been gradually becoming more frugal and self-sufficient.
However, I still go into consumer automaton mode: consumaton
In order to break out of consumaton programming, I brainstormed a list of words I can use to replace "buy", "purchase" and "shop". My plan is to see if the other words/actions are a good substitute before heading to a store or restaurant.
Here's my list:
Barter
Scrap
Grow
Construct
Make
Repurpose
Borrow
Trade
Do Without
Cook
Brew
Forage
If you've got any more I'd love to add them to my list.
