Today I'm sharing with you 20 things I've decided to stop buying. These are things I don't need in my life anymore, after becoming more intentional with what I bring into my home, how I spend my money. After decluttering our home towards a more minimalist lifestyle, I want to make sure I'm not making a lot of random impulse buys that would get me back to a cluttered state.

🫶 ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Madeline, mum of 2 little ones, after dealing with miscarriage and infertility for years. I love making videos about motherhood, minimalism, decluttering, cleaning motivation, speed clean with me, homemaking, Ikea favourites, and everything in between.

I strive to upload new videos every week. Hope you stick around and subscribe!

Some of the links above are affiliate links, which means I get a small commission if you purchase anything through them (without adding any extra cost on your part). Occasionally I get sent products for review purposes and those will be marked accordingly. I will always give you my honest opinion. I only work with brands that I love and use myself.

It has taken me awhile to make the transition from buying cheap sales to buying quality products. It feels really good to buy one well made item rather than 5 cheap items that will not last well or function well. Thanks for another great video

[osheas]

Yes, we need to talk more about stopping buying too much. Otherwise minimalism is impossible to maintain. And I mentioned about sale items in the last video that I watched from you. But yes, I don't go shopping just to see whats on sale anymore.

I've started making my own laundry detergent from YouTube videos. It makes 10 gallons of detergent from about $3 of materials. As a bonus, clothes come out soft and I don't need fabric softener.

That dress looks so pretty on you! 😍 It compliments your skin so well!

[sarahkeam]

I love that you mentioned waiting until you have used up make up products, I do this too. It is amazing how long products last, I don't buy sale items either.

I do use water filters as tap water in our area tastes horrible. But I do not buy any cleaning products except laundry powder, dishwasher tablets and washing liquid. For cleaning I use raypath glove.

And the video is so helpful. Thank you, Madeline.

[Thesignarizzler]

This was a great video. I really enjoyed watching it and loved some of your ideas. Thank you x

[KarronAngel]

Never clicked on a video so quickly. You have helped me so much. Hope your all well xxxx

[umerahshuaib]

I do nearly all of these things without thinking, I do still buy fabric softener and souvenirs though. I just get overwhelmed with stuff. I want to keep decluttering.

Thanks for sharing!! What is the model of your piano? I like that the top slides into it and doesn't fold up!

[debsrobinson]

I love your spice racks and bottles - this is something i would like to achieve but have no idea where to find them

[rosyapplekitchen]

You look in amazing shape by the way! Is that thanks to the little one or any fitness routine? As for the video great stuff, i just keep bleach, washing up liquid and sodium bicarbonate for cleaning. Though I still seem to need to declutter every week! It feels amazing after though.

[bfsedmn]

Lovely video, I am not sure if I can stop buying water filters though 😅. Also, Can you tell us your nail colour name brand?

[KerryCarpenter-mbkm]

Can you share where that beautiful dress came from? So lovely!

[PHBRNTGGR]

If you live in the good ole US of A where they feed us recycled toilet water…filters are a must.

[carolinadreaming]

Do you find the Purdy and Fig bathroom cleaner works well on limescale? We live in quite a hard water area so need something that tackles it well!

[lorisiedl]

Do you have like any shopping stores that maybe sell spices and Seasonings in bulk that you can just put a tiny little bit in the bag and that's all you need if you do want to experiment with food

[zoef.willisofreallife.real]

Yes! The dress! Link please. It’s so lovely.

Clothes 100%, I stopped buying especially on sale. Unless it’s an item I absolutely love and it so happens to be on sale, that’s a bonus. x
