Consumer Goods
Week 25: $259 - laptop computer

According to the 90% rules, purchasing a used item allows one to apply only 10% of the purchase price toward the annual consumer goods allowance. Now, I’m not sure if this really works with my refurbished laptop because I’d assume that something was replaced with brand new in it somewhere. I’ll compromise a bit and apply 40% of the purchase price toward the annual consumer goods allowance. Takes into account shipping and packaging as well.

Food
Still purchasing and eating mostly local foods. Still a lot of autumn produce available. I had never made, let alone considered eating pumpkin soup before last week. It’s very tasty. I had to do something with the pumpkins decorating the place. A couple ended up on the compost pile, too. I may find pumpkin vines growing in the compost next summer.
