RE: Can I do a heart healthy no-buy month?

I do not believe no buy month is helpful because most people who live frugally have already optimized their spending and keep on improving themselves.

For example... I buy my clothing about once in a year in a considerate quantities, and I use them for maybe 2-3 years or longer. I am still wearing a hoodie I bought in 2015. So taking no buy month actually disrupts my flow or rhythm, I never know when I will take the apparel purchase again because I do not know when the bargain or clearance sale will take place.

so your healthy food and no buy month... I do not know, for fun or challenge yourself that should be good, but again... I do not believe it is the optimum way to save up. However I believe everyone has their own preference and compatibility

I'm only focusing on one area of my spending this time round (that's quite enough, the amount of research it has taken me to get this far 😂), but usually repairs or replacements would be in my rules for the month.

This Saturday Savers Club post has the information from when we did the first no-buy month with more detail (sorry, you have scroll down a bit to get to the right section).

In essence, I agree with you: whatever rules you decide for your no-buy time have to work for your situation.
