Sunday: Consumption

Yesterday was the start of this week-long No Impact Experiment.  It involved evaluating what I consume and trying not to buy anything new. 
Problem #1a: I've been waiting to get paid so I can buy rain boots.  I got paid this week.
Problem #1b: It's supposed to rain most of the week and I have no suitable shoes.
So, one day in and I've already hit a wall.  Although part of me says to just buy them as a long-term investment.  (And hey, it's only one new item...)  But the stubborn part of me wants to prove that I can successfully complete this week.
What to do...
Today's challenge is TRASH.  Will update tomorrow...
