How to Create a Budget for Household Non-Consumables

How much should a family plan to spend for Household Non-Consumables? You know, the stuff that you buy but don't plan on throwing away any time soon. A clock for the kids' bedroom? Sure. A new set of sheets for the master bedroom. Perhaps.

This budget category is for purchases that are going to be around for a while, so choose well. Poor-quality will end up costing more in the long run. If there is nothing to buy this month, you may want to save unspent budget money for a larger purchase next month.
