Half Way

Just a quick update at the half way point. Have not bought anything.

For the most part we have stuck with the rules, though occasionally the food purchases have, um, well perhaps not fit into the rules. Part of the problem is the lack of information on the packaging (yeah, that's it, it is not our fault). So far it has not been too bad, though there have certainly been some things (CDs and clothes) that I would have bought on impulse.

We may used the 'auto replacement' exception, which has become a bit of an issue. It does not help that AWD cars get poor mileage, but living in Maine (100 inches of snow last winter), I feel it is a requirement. And there is the new vs. used issue.

To be continued...
