February has come to a close, and it’s time to share with you every non-consumable item that I purchased during the month. If you missed my first post in this series, I highly recommend reading that to learn more about why I am sharing all of my purchases this year. Overall, I hope that by sharing what I buy it will help me to see how much I’m spending, what I’m buying, and if I can look back and think every purchase was a good one for me. My goal is to buy only what I truly want and need, and not excess items that will just add clutter to my life. I am amazed with myself this month, because I only purchased two non-consumable items in all of February!

I am slowly building up the reusable items in my home, and I finally purchased some cloth napkins. I found this pack of Mill Valley Bistro 100% Cotton Napkins at Homesense on clearance for $10.00. I chose this brand simply because it wasn’t packaged in a plastic bag like the others they had for sale! I’m excited to use these napkins and make the transition from paper to cloth. I am not able to find this exact brand of napkins online, but there are many similar items on Amazon.
The other item I purchased in February was the book Auntie Loves You! written by Helen Foster James and illustrated by Petra Brown. I sent this book to my niece and nephew for Valentine’s Day. This book is absolutely adorable, and I think it’s worth the $12.50 I spent on it. I live far away from my niece and nephew, so I think it’s nice for them to have this book to look at even when we cannot spend time together in person.
What’s funny about February is that I did have a few more items on my list of things to buy, but I just didn’t get to them! I was getting over a bad respiratory virus at the beginning of the month, and I never made it out to the store. Hopefully in March I will grab the things I need so I can share them with you!
