6 MONTHS of my No Buy Year (halfway!): Updates, Thoughts, Plans, Reactions...and, WHAT DID I BUY?

Welcome to a jam-packed 4th of July week! There was too much to say in the usual two videos so if all goes according to plan, there will be SEVEN for this week of my No Buy Year. Which is crazy since I actually DO have work this week, rehearsing for and playing the 4th of July outdoor symphony concerts...but regardless, I hope you enjoy!
