Mint is a website that allows users to track different (US) bank accounts in one place online. Not that interesting unless you’re using it, however they do have an interesting blog.

A recent excellent post points out eight things you should not buy new. The site goes into a lot more detail, so is worth reading, but these are:

Mint Website Logo
  1. CDs and DVDs

  4. Designer Clothes
  5. Baby and Maternity Clothes
  6. Games and Toys
  7. Homes

    I love your list…..they are all readily available items without wasting your money or the earths resources.

    I would add convenience foods. i am not the worlds greatest cook but eat well from home produced meals.
    a )Frozen to help with time.
    b) Barter with friends. I make delicious breads and scones, they make sponge- type cakes.
    c) Shock horror- we even invite one another round to “Share suppers” so there is variety,,,,sometimes very unexpected treats!

Got something to say?
