Have you ever heard of the Moneyless Man?  He spent a year living without money, scavenging for food in skips, foraging, scrounging, travelling by bike and sleeping on sofas and in tents. You get the idea.

Whilst I can't and don't want to, live without money, I can live with less. I've acquired a lot of useful stuff recently on the freebie site - and given quite a bit of "clutter" away too and that has shown me how many usable things are given away, because they've been bought on a whim, maybe?. No more impulse buying for me.

My cupboards and freezer are full of food; if the shops all closed tomorrow, I could survive for months. Also, if I tried harder I could grow a lot more food.

Say Hello to "The Moneyless Chicken" (MC). MC's plan is to buy only food that has been reduced in price (apart from a few staples that are never remaindered like coffee, sugar, butter and dog food). 
MC will not buy any clothes or toiletries in 2022 (I have a stockpile of both). Don't worry, I'll still smell sweet. Books will be exchanged or preloved. Seeds will be swapped, saved or bought from ethical seed producers. I'll eat more of whatever I grow and grow more of whatever I eat.

As far as possible, I'm going to avoid buying anything if I already have something similar that is edible/usable/wearable/growable. 
By the end 2022, I hope to have less clutter, less food past its date and an easier conscience.

There you have it, the Moneyless Chicken has set out her stall. Care to join me in setting out your Moneyless plans?
