Can you go one week, 7 days in a row, without buying anything?

[Phil513]

Not counting gas, or paying bills.

NO purchases. At all. Can you? Just one week?

[Jake S.]

No.

[Mark Wein]

Probably not....

[hobo]

don't think so, need to go to the grocery store at least, but if you mean like buying buying materialistic things, sure

[Cheese Grits]

I'd like to try, but I don't know how I would get through a weekend without buying a beer at a bar.

[thredlok]

yes, as long as the staples are stocked up ;)

[JModius1972]

I think I can do it. We usually only go for groceries on Saturday because we've got really long workdays. So, unless it's an absolute emergency we don't shop much during the week.

[Prages]

Yeah, I think so.

As long as I'm well stocked on the essentials (bread, beer, cigarettes) beforehand. :o

[Chihlidog]

Sure. If I intentionaly stocked up on what I needed, as a few others have said. I am sure we have gone 7 days before.

I could but it would be tough with 4 teenagers at home. We go through a LOT of food (6 gallons of milk a week).

Haha. I only have 2 kids, and they arent even teenagers, and I can relate to that.

I probably could if I needed to.

I may not have the staples but I'll eat canned olives on crackers if need be. I'm sure I could scrounge together something edible for seven days.

Additionally, I collect samples and save them for when I go on trips or whatever so even if I ran out of toiletries, I would have samples to fall back on.

I could easily make it a week without buying a thing.

Im going to try. My GF read an article, its supposed to try and start good habits, making your own coffee vs starbucks, that type of thing.

I usually cook my own lunches anyway. So, i'll get some groceries after work, and try not to spend a dime until Sat the 18th. ;D
