So, I've been doing a low buy/no buy yarn challenge for around a month now. I have over $1000 of yarn that's just...sitting in my room at any given time due to all the donations I've been blessed with, and it's been getting to me just how much I have sitting there. Sure, I crochet for a living, but I don't thinn having this much around me encourages me to experiment as much as it may seem.

So, I made a challenge for myself until at least the end of the year. No buying yarn for myself unless it's to finish a project I started prior to this challenge or if it's for a custom order that requires specific materials due to customer requests. I can still accept donations and gifts, since I help allocate resources for other crafters near me, but I can't go out of my way to get myself stuff.

Now that I'm one month in, I've looked back on my behavior this past month and realized just how bad my impulse yarn shopping is.

I finish a big project? I want to celebrate by buying yarn.

I get a custom order that I already have the yarn for? I want to go buy new yarn anyways.

I manage to meet some store management deadlines I set for myself? I want to reward myself with more yarn.

I had a really rough day and had a PTSD episode? I want to comfort myself by buying more yarn.

It's insane to realize how instinctively I reach for consumerism as a coping mechanism. I don't need any more yarn. I have more than enough, even if it is my job. It's kind of scary seeing how badly this impulse has affected me, but it's also for the best I realized it now versus it getting worse down the road.

To help with reducing these urges, I've been avoiding haul videos. On one hand, I look at them and see excess consumption, on the other, I see a bunch of products I'm tempted to buy. It's a weird dichotomy, to be sure.

I'm not even sure why I'm sharing all of this on here besides to acknowledge that I'm trying, even if it is to the void that is Tumblr 😅

I know a lot of people with ADHD struggle with impulse spending, and idk if this is just me, but it doesn't matter how badly I want something, unless the thing I want and the means to buy it are both visible/with reach at the same time, I will never aquire the thing

I actually had motivation to clean my room today! For the first time in I-don't-want-to-think-about-it long.

However my brain responded to the reduction in dopamine hits by doing a fuckton of online impulse buying 🙃

Sometimes, I think I have impulse control, but then I remember those times I spent like $20 on a mobile game (in a week, has happened more than once) or how I will spend all the in game currency in a game on the one mini game to make sure i beat it even though it lasts 3 days and it's only been an hour.

(SNAP) beneficiaries

In the realm of Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries:

DoorDash, Instacart, and Uber Eats extend their services to patrons utilizing SNAP benefits.

Amazon graciously extends a reduction in membership fees exclusively tailored for SNAP beneficiaries.

The Walmart+ subscription, tailored for those on SNAP, is attractively priced at a mere $6.

Ritas Italian Ice, though it is advisable to confirm with the local establishment, acknowledges and accommodates transactions through SNAP.

The Providers application proves to be an invaluable asset, facilitating the vigilant monitoring of one's SNAP benefits.
