Each penny counts! At the supermarket, at the work canteen or in clothing stores, we do not throw ourselves on the pseudo-faire of the day. First, we think. Rarely we buy.
This idea of a list in “do not buy” mode was inspired by @with_emilie. On her Instagram account, this “simplicity coach”, a follower of minimalism and frugality, recently identified the purchases she will not make for the next twelve months.
At the editorial staff, the subject aroused our interest, his list seemed so easy to complete … to believe that we all spend far too frantically, and that saving under the sky of 2025 would be disconcerting. So we started to draw up our list to us …
To put money, don’t buy …
Most of the items below, you already have them, at the bottom of a closet, a wardrobe, and sometimes at hand, in the fridge, the dressing room, on your bedside table. In 2025, you could reduce your expenses and your ecological footprint by deciding to ban your shopping cart …
- The Gourdes
- Isothermal mugs
- Tote bags
- Plastic racing bags
- The pockets and bags of all kinds: on back, banana, in shoulder
- TOC phone shells
- TOC sunglasses pairs
- Bath swimsuits
- The plaids
- Washbasters and towels
- Bed sheets and pillowcases (look in the large wardrobe, top left, etc.)
- Beauty products: masks, peelings, anti -narrow, anti -wrinkle creams, for the hands … (a good day care and another night is enough)
- Costume jewelry (less is more, buy less but better)
- Hair accessories: darlings, pliers, headbands
- Small office equipment: pens, fluos, notebooks, glitter post-it (it’s beautiful, but …)
- Candles and candlesticks
- The vases
- Everyday kitchen utensils: wooden spoons, spatulas, sharp knives
- The cups
- Teas and infusions (let’s go, you could already open a store)
- Maximum versions of pickles and onions
- Maximum menu versions in fast foods
- € 8 sandwiches from the canteen
- Candies and chewing gums presented at store boxes
- The wipers (one washing machine is enough)
- Baby wipes and cleaning wipes (water and soap, and it’s won)
Complete it
Of course, the above list is neither exhaustive nor objective. Modify it and continue it on your side will help you brake compulsive purchases that concern you personally (maybe you collect brooms and socks). With a little hindsight and common sense, but especially after a few weeks of training, you will end up toe this article which was once able to make you succumb.
In general, avoid buying fresh products (vegetables, fruits, meat, fish) in large quantities if you live alone or in a small committee. These foods are expanding quickly: if it is not consumed, a pear ends in the trash at the end of the week. Two less in your basket, and you will have saved a few euros at the end of the month without realizing it.
It’s human. A sign “reduction”, “promo”, “1 + 1 free”… sounds like a boon not to be missed. Faced with these slogans, a small voice blows you while “4 canned tomatoes peeled for the price of 3, it is worth it!”. Same fight with braded clothes and accessories; During sales periods or on a platform like Vinted where everything sells for less, we would even be afraid of not concluding, as the case is good. Latest “scales” to date: targeted advertisements on social networks that invite you to “buy now” when you have not known the sales brand so far. Above all, do not click, you would agree with marketing.
No doubt they will remain warm in your cabinets or your fridge, since you already have them in quadruple …
Another general advice: avoid “discount” stores from which we leave with “little funny stuff” which we could have done without. Beyond the alleged financial advantages offered there, the items that are sold to you are nonetheless futile. No doubt they will remain warm in your cabinets, since you already have them in quadruple. Morality of the story: Even if it’s free, don’t crack!
