- For the month of January I challenged myself to do a No Buy challenge. I decided to stop spending money on makeup, clothing, home decor, accessories and skincare for the month - here's how it went.

How is your low/No buy going? What went well & what do you want to improve?
I’ve been fully debt free for about 48 hours!!! So ready to revamp my spending habits for this new era 🎉 I froze my credit card (online and literally in my freezer lol) ABC’s I’m just DONE with spending money I don’t have or stealing from my future. Ready to start building my savings for the things that actually matter ✨
That’s not a no buy. That’s not buying luxury items. Ugh I wish I could take back this click! Btw I thumbs downed you for the misleading title.
I also did a no-buy for January, and it went well overall. At first, I entered the challenge with a punitive mindset in response to spending far too much in 2022. But as time went on, my perspective shifted as I realized that the no buy is simply a tool to help me achieve my ultimate goal of being debt free. Great content, as usual, Christina!
I wouldn’t call it no buy with 105 on nails, and 238 on a book and 187 for 3 hair products.
My house created a “Grateful January” every year we do a no buy January. We focus on being grateful after Christmas and enjoy what we have. It’s great to catch up from overspending before Christmas and breaking that habit. Often we will follow with 2 months of a low buy because we realize we didn’t need anything in January
My no buy on May and July went well. I canceled the Costco and did not buy anything on Amazon. Those were my down fall places. Yay. I make weekly videos to support my student loans pay off journey, helping my mommy and paying off mortgage. I appreciate all subbies who help and inspire our debt pay off journey. Cheers! Mira
I did a low-buy January, too. We did buy a dog, but I don’t reprimand myself for that, because we have been waiting for a few months for the right dog to “find us” and she did. What I discovered about myself is that I use shopping (usually thrifting) as a way to distract myself from a heavy load of stress. With retail therapy out of the picture, I found I stayed home more, did things that needed doing at a more leisurely pace, and thereby reduced my stress load.
I was inspired by you and I did a “no buy” January. I spent nothing on clothing, shoes, and handbags. I got some take out but it was wishing my monthly food budget. I bought a book for my profession (mental health therapist), shampoo and conditioner and laundry stuff. I bought some gifts for my grandchildren. Like you, it has been great and relaxing not to think about consuming and spending. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm happy and glad to say that in Jan I didn't get a text message from my bank saying I was overdrawn a week after my payday, which was the norm for the last few months. Low buy Jan really made a difference. I still bought things that were in my wishlist, it could have been better, but, hey that is an improvement.
I am doing a Wardrobe Freeze for 2023 (so no clothing, shoes, accessories, bags etc) and it has been great! only a few tempting moments, but I a really re-disovering the love I have for my wardrobe again.
Your words resonated with me so much. I have struggled getting out of debt because of impulse buying. Thanks to you, I'm changing my mind set - keeping a promise to myself, instead of punishing myself. Thank you so much for the eye opener. You've really helped me.
You're really good at explaining your thoughts and emotions about what you buy and why. You're right that positive motivation works better than negative, like punishment. My main motivation for buying less, or buying second-hand, is just for overall consumption reduction, trying to be a good global citizen. Thanks as always.
You are GLOWiNG, Christina ! You look especially gorgeous today ! All your inner growth, not drinking, being out of debt, and intentional, empowered living looks GOOD on you, Girl ! Love you haircut !
I'm going through that phase of having enough and overconsuming things, and i believe i am almost ready to come out from this phase. Bumping into your video is such a great inspiration and uplifting that it's not only me who is in this journey, and i'm kind of forgiving myself for being like that. Few more days before March, thinking to try this one-month no buy challenge. Thank you for sharing your journey! 😊
I'm proud to say I had a successful no buy January and I learned a lot, specially about the things I really need in my wardrobe and stuff. I could also declutter a little, giving things that doesn't have meaning to me.
I gave up alcohol 20 years ago. Best decision of my life. I have a few things I'm not buying at all this year and I'm going to continue with low buy for clothes and shoes and only replace. This has been a great month and I look forward to your style videos based on what you are learning from the book and videos you're following. 💜
Great job! 🎉Very proud of you! My no buy January was incredible and I learned that I do no need to buy myself new stuff to be happy.
I completed a low buy in January as well. The only things I “bought” were some skincare products I had gift cards for. I felt less anxious and so much more at peace this month than I have in a long time. Thank you for your inspiration, Christina! Much love from California!
Christina! Your my fav. Listen to you everyday to help me keep accountable 💖
