10 Things I Don't Waste Money On (Minimalism + Saving Money)

My grandmother always said 'We are to poor to buy cheap.' when we went cloth shopping, so instead of buying a 5 € H&M shirt she would get me a 25 € high quality shirt. I didn't really get it until I realised I was still wearing a sweater she brought me 6 years after she died. ☺️

Instead of souvenirs I use to buy spices. A mix of dried herbs or something like that. And every time I use it at home when cooking I’ll think about the place and the people I meet on the trip. It’s actually a fantastic way to remember!

Plants are good for decorating and they are good for you.

Stopped paying for getting my eyebrows done, nails done, waxing, pedicures, and just taught myself how to do everything

Careful with craigslist and secondhand furniture, specifically upholstered. Here are just a few fun things that can come with it: bed bugs, ringworm, clothes moths, fleas, carpet beetles...

I have never bought lunch or coffee at work. Not in the 12 years of working at the same place. There are heaps of cafes and food outlets nearby but I know if I cave in one single time I will feel like I can do it again and again. This forces me to be organised and theres always a can of baked beans in my locker for emergencies. I'd rather have coffee and eat out for fun at other times and plus I dont have to waste my lunch break lining up and waiting.

I used to buy sale items too! I felt like I was saving money by buying cheap stuff.
Now, I buy things i really need. 😃

For me, being intentional with subscriptions is important! It's certainly an area you can cut out, and it's important to think critically about how much value you receive for the monthly fees. Great video!

Haircuts, pedicures, cable, Netflix, Spotify, gym, alcohol, fast food. When we travel occasionally, we'll camp or use AirBnB. When I need a household item (lamp, coffee maker), it's to the thrift store we go.

We drastically reduced our home decor about 2.5 years ago when we re-did paint/flooring and I have not missed it all one little bit. Keeping it to a minimum not only saves time and money, it helps assure that only items I truly LOVE make their way onto surfaces/walls. If you're in doubt, pack away as much as you can stand to and put it away in the attic or basement (somewhere out of sight) for 60 or 90 days. Before you open the box (es) again, without spending more than a minute or two, jot down a list of what's in the boxes. If it's not on the list, you're surely not missing it! If it is on the list, did you really, truly miss it while it was away? Probably not.

We get (loving) grief from friends and family all the time for not having a proper trash can in the kitchen. We just use a recycled grocery bag on the back counter as we have dogs. We have a dumpster outside and reusing small bags means a) we don't buy grocery bags at all and b) the trash goes out quite frequently, so it doesn't become unsightly or an odor issue. But man, some people act like we're NUTS because we don't have a proper trash bin! It's not as big an item as a table, but still one of those things we're 'supposed' to have that we just...don't.

As a woman, haircuts are ridiculously expensive, so learning that I could cut my own hair and actually love the results has been a HUGE silver lining of the pandemic.

I've been a minimalist since I was kid. I've always had the smallest room in the family & my little sister would always get the bigger room just because she was a girl.
Only had a bed, a dresser + hand me down clothes, a small tv, a game cube, and a small chair.
Now I live in a 621 sq ft 1 bed apartment and it feel like it's too large for my needs.
I'm seriously considering van life and just get rid of 98% of my stuff I've accumulated by having an apartment.

[tacosmargs]

I buy 90% of my clothes at Goodwill. It's become a fun hobby to look for things there. My boyfriend and I have tons of great things we've gotten there, including barely used North Face and Columbia winter coats that would have cost hundreds.

Cable was the biggest time waster for us and it was horrible to just go cold turkey but so worth it as been 4+ years and people often ask how can you live without cable and we say easy. We do other things and we can stream movies ect but we have a collection of old movies from the 1940's which is our jam and often we will watch an old classic or listen to radio. Disconnecting from digital frees you up and until you try it your always connected. Just found your channel and been working on my journey to minimalism for about 5 years now and one way to do this is keep moving to a small place and I don't find that method in a book or on You Tube. I am recovering hoarder and this is a long slow and painful journey and for me I just continue to downsize and declutter. Helps to find postitive channels like yours along my journey. Thanks for sharing

What have you stopped buying?

[allizan]

I’ve stopping buying coffee, chocolate and shampoo (I just use cheap body wash on my hair), started using men’s moisturiser instead of women’s as it costs less. Starting walking to and from work instead of the bus. Share my Netflix with my mum, stopped using the dryer and generally just think twice before buying anything. I save so much by doing this.

Man I watch all the big names, Matt D’Avella, Joshua Becker, The Minimalists etc. idk why you are not catching the fire but I think you will. Informative, entertaining, and organic I feel with your videos. Keep going man you’re going to blow up once you hit the tip point

[hastip.]

So happy to have found your platform 🙏🏼 i’ll be binge watching all videos & binge listening to all your podcasts. Everything i’m passionate about: coffee, minimalism & finances 🤗

[loisbousselet]

I buy flowers for I know i'll enjoy them and let'em go. Green plants are to much sustain. Also i use to cut my hair myself but looking sharp some times a year for special events is always a nice feeling
