fun fact: Petroleum Jelly (edit: Vaseline is the brand name btw) doesn't actually expire by itself. the problem is having microorganisms thrive when you use bare hands or fingers to use them. The 3yr expiration date is a safety suggestion from the FDA for regulation and replacement.

I had no idea it was such a gigantic deal to use products until they run out

What gets me is how since it's a trend to underconsume, people film themselves throwing away perfectly good makeup and clothes because they think that's underconsumption: having less things. If you have perfectly good items, especially makeup that's unexpired, refrain from buying more until they run out or just go bad from wear and tear and you absolutely need the item. Also y'all, continuing to use expired makeup is not underconsumption, it's a health hazard! Especially anything that goes near your eyes and mouth which is practically every makeup item

Working retail for 10 years taught me to resist consumerism.

I keep reading your poster as "Princess Roanoke, " and now I know what happened to the lost colony. They moved to Canada, became K-Pop stans, and started a successful youtube channel. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you're a long-lost princess.

damn it should be mindful consumption. reusable products, buying better quality clothes that lasts longer, dont buy things you dont need that wont be used, dont buy things just because its discount, choosing products that can be recycled.

when I rented my first place I slept on a mattress on the floor and used a cardboard box as a bedside table... but I was just broke.

Also seeing the stocked pantry bit made me think about Costco... I think it's REALLY easy to get carried away but buying bulk cleaning supplies, TP and paper towel, personal hygiene stuff etc is just good financial sense. Folks who have made underconsumption their whole personality made be icked out by the 9 pack of pasta I picked up a couple of weeks ago, but trust me, I WILL eat it all in a timely manner.

Even when I'm not poor, I love thrift shopping and DIY. Reduce, reuse, recycle!

the people with gym shoes with holes in them make me nervous, girly when the soles start to wear out of shoes you're active in you need new ones or you'll need new knees in a few years

Why can't people just be more responsible consumers without making it an aesthetic?

Underconsumption is just gentrified poverty.
