    I need more minimalism videos on toys, decluttering clothes and minimalism groceries. Please and thank you. I mean… like what are basic things to work on to never have to buy again. Such as kids snacks and you already have showed us bread but stuff we buy at convenience but could easily make better for ourselves. Maybe simple sew projects too.

      Have your kids declutter with you if they are old enough. If they are not old enough they won't notice. Even if they do they will forget eventually lol. For their clothes don't buy new ones unless they almost out grew everything. I buy twice a year (summer/ winter) and only set a budget of $200 for two kids each season. So that's $400 per year. I buy clearance only or wait for sales. Old navy has 75%+ off sales. I also don't buy ahead of time, size gaging can be tricky. Oh for the toy aisle we don't even go near it or down specific food aisles.

    Where we live water and electricity service fluctuate a ton, so even If we wanted a minimal closet it wouldn't work(aleady tried it) we keep about three weeks worth of clothing at any given time, we do laundry everyday a load or two depending on weather. Living in the caribean heat, wearing things twice like jeans or sweaters won't fly 😂😂. But on pretty much everything else we keep a very similar lifestyle to yours.

    Minimalism to me is just removing the Extras in your home and life that really adds extra unnecessary work or take up time that can be put somewhere with more priority.. I also get easily over whelmed ,,I also don’t buy more if I start to see storage being taken up .. I go through a monthly closet clean out and drawer /cabinet clean out removing any junk or things hardly used .. it feels soooo much better once things are back in order and there is space that can be utilized again and you keep all the things you actually like and use .
