How I did it
It made me
feel great 
How I did it: I keep a small folding bag in my purse for unexpected purchases and some green shopper bags in the boot of my car. I made some nice fabric bags for shopping with and use containers for sandwiches and lunches. Read how I did it…
It made me
lose Me time 
How I did it: I am not an IT person and did not get work in the IT industry but I have good experience. I worked as a temp and then got a permanent job. Which I hated. So I went back to temping. Now I have left NZ so I will have to find work again!I enrolled with lots of temp agencies and searched online job websites and let all my friends know I was looking for work. In fact I would mention it to anyone who spoke to me including shopworkers! Read how I did it…
It made me
struggle! 
How I did it: Enrolled for lessons through short courses. Took 8 classes. So I haven't really learned French. I mean I've learned SOME French. I can understand basic questions and ask some basic questions but I can't spell in French and my pronunciation will be terrible! Read how I did it…

Ways to not buy stuff
8 months ago
Books? Library. Clothes? Sew them. Knit them. Crochet them.
Food? Grow it. Process it. Cook it. Find out about wild foods and weeds that are useful.
Ask others if they have stuff they don’t need. Join freecycle. Dumpster dive. Read GrassRoots magazine and Earth Garden magazines (from the library!).
Look after what you DO have.
