It's been one week since I started this project!

Though I'm striving to live a simplistic life, I still think it's important to support small businesses or even help "fuel the economy" during these economic times. Granted, not splurging on clothes has definitely helped in my savings department, (and it's always good to save) I've been racking my brain to come up with ways to help the economy and still stay true to living a simple life. Suggestions?
