Great info graphic on shopping bans...

This info-graphic (http://blondeonabudget.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/shopping-ban-infographic.png) has some interesting stats on the types of people who are willing to give up shopping for a year and how it effected them.

Is this only new clothes say? I'm surprised people's triggers weren't "running out of clothes to wear that cover my nudity". But apparently they're fine going to work in clothes with holes, no biggy, bot boredom is a problem WTF. Priorities people! I mean I can't imagine having more than a weeks worth of clothes anyway. I don't recall there being a time I ever have. And that that one weeks worth of clothes worn 52 times or more would come out without holes is by no means guaranteed. You can mend holes until the fabric itself becomes weak, then not really.

When people do this shopping ban, often called The Compact (worth a google), they usually don't buy anything new -- no clothes, tools, toys, etc. But you can borrow and barter. Like: "Can I use your chainsaw if I feed your dog this weekend while you are out of town?" This way the person does not have to buy the chainsaw.

Or, for some people: "I am out of shirts. I will go to Goodwill and pick up a few used, instead of going to Target."
