The Stuff Diet

Vintage glass from the thrift store - good.

Crazy over-packaged stuff you don't really need - bad.

In today's Toronto Star, Catherine Porter wrote about "The Stuff Diet" which basically involves not buying anything other than essential items (such as food and health-related items) for three months. I'm going to try it out and see if I can do it. Apparently, you can still go to thrift stores since you are helping to keep objects from the landfill. This means I can thrift for vintage household treasures without breaking this three month promise. Can I do it?
Stay tuned.
