"No New" update...

Still doing well with the No New purchases.
Had to buy new shoes for Auggie. He has really wide feet, and complains about the cheaper shoes hurting his feet (payless & target). I thought about the thrift store shoes....but had a hard time finding anything in his size, AND I didn't want to buy something that could hurt his feet again. So we just went to Stride Rite and bought him a pair. I told him they are school shoes ONLY, and his ratty ones he can wear when he plays outside.

Another item that I just couldn't justify buying used was underwear for Samantha. Thrift store underwear just seems...well... unhygienic. Samantha has been rocking with the whole potty-training thing, so I bought her some new Tinkerbell undies.


So, here we are 3 months into this endeavor and I've only purchased 3 new things:
Shoes
undies
plastic storage bins.


I'd say we're doing good!
