And I have been using Amazon Prime to buy my staples. So much so that yesterday I was able to buy a new set of storage canisters for the kitchen from the points I have accrued, so no cash spent. So I consider them a "product of the moratorium". I have a decorative tin that has held tea bags since I bought it at A&P in 1976 for the centennial celebration. It is really tacky looking, and I decided I would make better use of space with square containers instead of round. So the moratorium has spread to other parts of my life too. Every time I went to WM I would catch myself buying something I didn't necessarily , so there is a savings there.
"product of the moratorium"..what a great way to look at it!
juliasb...sounds like you are a moratorium convert.
I've been a FabMort member for long enough that buying fabric consciously has become second nature. But I plan on sticking to the thread for 2020 to help document how much fabric stash I've used. And I like to hear/see how you all put your stash fabric to creative uses.
