The Shopping Sherpa decides not to (shop, that is)

In the last week I've spent a lot. And I'm feeling like you do after a particularly full-on food-laden Christmas Day, sitting in the corner clutching your stomach and moaning that you'll never eat again (metaphotically and fiscally speaking, of course).

So I decided to do the equivalent of a fiscal detox. For the next week, starting from right now, I'm going on a Fiscal Fast. I'm going to try to spend no money whatsoever. Not a cent*.(*You knew there'd be an asterisk, didn't you?! OK, I've decided I can spend money on claimable stuff for work and pay any bills that might fall due during the week. I'm also trying to decide if I get a "Get out of jail free" card, especially as Princess B and The Queen of Maryville will be down this Saturday for Cirque Du Soleil)

    Last Thursday but I'm already out of some essential basics like potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, zuchinni, smoked salmon, and, sadly, chocolate...

    Should have though this through a little more (maybe the Easter Bunny will come early and solve that last problem?)

    Ooh. Tough!
    Pasta with cheese?
    I think even a work-week would be impressive with no spending.
