  • I've now done many no buy and low buy challenges over the years and I have learned a lot. I do still have weak moments and need to summon my strength to withstand a purchase, but I have become so much stronger. Today I wanted to give you some tips and advice on how to persevere during a no buy or low buy. Some simple practical tips, but also some mind set shifts that are important.

    9:00 - buying less we can afford to work less. That hit me like a tonne of bricks!

    My new year's resolution, no clothes and shoes this year. Been doing really great up until now, i decluttered my closet and sold a lot of pieces, now the urge to buy new clothes is strong becaue of the extra money. What helps is watching videos like yours in youtube.

      yes! how amazing! I do this too what I feel the urge to buy more stuff, I consume more minimalist content :D it helps!

      What is your favorite place to sell your clothes? I'm having a hard time selling new with tags items.

    Think of it as buying back your time. Less spending means you have to work less.

    I just got laid off and I had a lot of impulsive purchases when I still had a job. Now that I’m unemployed I need to learn to do a no-buy monthly unless it’s necessities.

    • @CatchyCravings

      I can definitly relate to this! Wishing you all the best!

    I remember going on a low-buy month a few years ago, and I think I lasted two to three weeks. This time is different. I'm doing the full year, and I won't quit if I happen to fail. I've realized it's not about things and that I'm not sacrificing anything, but rather winning a hightened sense of integrity and control. Great video! Thank you for your help.

    I'm going to do my first no-buy next month. I'm nervous but excited. I'm also gonna document whenever I get the "buy itch". I'm curious to find out what type of things they'll be. Thanks for the video!

    It might not seem like I owe that much but it is such a struggle, knowing my brain isn’t functioning properly. The inner conflict is brutal! I am encouraged knowing I can have a low buy vs no buy. After two knee injuries I HAVE TO walk. That’s where the temptation comes in as I walk in stores. Yesterday I walked the 10 aisles of a store with no purchase but I planned to have a pumpkin spice latte and hot dog totaling $3.50. I felt successful. I had to remind myself I wasn’t there to shop.

    I’m broke/low income in a time of high inflation and coupled with a budget with embedded financial goals it’s easy to stay motivated, basically have no choice

      @CatchyCravings  Год назад +1

      Yes, focusing on a little at a time is really helpful🔥

    I find it hard not to buy new cosmetics and care products. What I found out- I simply got bored by old ones and they still last.

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  6 месяцев назад

      I totally relate to this! my rule is 1 in, 1 out. I can only buy something new, when I've used up the old. Believe me it's hard sometimes. Maybe try out new things with existing products, it gives it a fresh breath of air, like combining old clothes into new outfits. Incorporate your skincare into a new cozy routine :)

    I get tempted when I look at websites that go over testing of different clothing items and list the winners of the testing. So I think the best items are better than what I own and am tempted to buy.

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  6 месяцев назад

      I totally understand. It is often through comparison that we see what we "lack". But we can reframe our mindeset and see all the amazing things we have as blessings! :)

  • @33Jenesis

    I have multiples of everything including craft items. I can go for 10 years without wearing out shoes, repeating outfits, tired of bags, or running out of craft supplies. This simple fact is really what I was horrified in realizing. I am keeping this in mind daily starting 2024. Really, there is no excuse to buy anything except grocery.

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  5 месяцев назад +1

      yes! I love this! realizing it is the first step :)
