I managed to go about six weeks without going in any stores. When I first walked back into one if felt strange. But it was a good feeling knowing that I had gone that long without spending anything. What brought me back was that I needed to replace two electrical plugs so I made a trip to Lowes. Fortunately, i had saved a $10 of $25 coupon and was able to use that. Also, I needed a pipe for a clamp. Instead of buying a new one, I went to the area where they cut the pipes. Sure enough there was a 5' scrap piece behind the pipe cutter. I pulled it out and was able to buy it for $1. A new one would have cost $10.
