There is a family out there who made a pledge in 2007, and again this year, not to buy any new products (food and toiletries were exceptions). Everything else they purchased that year was "used".
It's an interesting concept, and since I'm trying to save money (just like everyone else in this economy) I first thought about implementing something similar, but they make a good point - you can pay a lot for secondhand items or get new ones for really cheap (on sale or clearance). Plus, whenever I spend money I consider it my little boost to the economy. So for now - I'll just look for some great sales ;)
