I did not go shopping for 1 year. Crazy right? Here's how I survived without shopping, what I ate, and what I learned from the challenge. I didn't stock up on anything beforehand, I just went cold turkey and it wasn't even about decluttering or minimalizing my stuff. I don't have a compulsive shopping disorder but I did swing by the store almost every day to buy last-minute cleaning supplies and treats for myself.

Staying at home gave me a new perspective on the stuff I own and helped me form better habits around my purchases.

Today's Ask a House Cleaner sponsor is Savvy Cleaner Training and certification for house cleaners and maids. (https://savvycleaner.com/join)
