Does this mean that Mr. Bargain Babe will have to refrain from purchasing computer-related “necessities”?

I think gift cards are good, the money was previously spent. Some people may have to allow more then one tank of gas. Great idea but I will be driving to Portland for the birth of my granddaughter so timing is bad for me.

Thanks so much for listening to my opinion! I’m going to attempt to talk my husband into this, but we may need prep time because of a few personal medical needs. We may do this in August so we can buy what we need and stockpile it. Gotta be a joint venture to make it work.

Wow BB. This is something I’ve been thinking about for some time. But I believe a moratorium would require pre planning. I was actually thinking of doing this for december, because most of my Christmas is already purchased. What a way to really consider and redefine the joy of the season.
I cannot WAIT to read all about your progress!

Why do you get to use the gift cards? That’s the same as using cash that’s already in your wallet! Unless they expire in July, you should not use gift cards IMO.

What about shopping at yard sales and thrift shops? Can they be exempt?

I’m going to talk to my hubby about this!
