I no longer buy anything that’s on sale bcause it’s on sale !!! … especially clothes and shoes!!! I cleaned out my closet n became a minimalist and started buying quality pieces !
Amen with the cell phone!! I have been holding off buying a phone until my phone doesn’t work anymore 🤣
What a novel idea. 🙄
Ditto. My current one I bought 2 years ago and it was a refurbished one then. Still going, albeit slower.
@@Erin-rg3dw Mine is an iPhone 7. It works perfectly.
@@genxx2724 Galaxy S7 here. And whenever I do upgrade, I'm getting another refurb. Cheaper and more eco-friendly.
1/9/2022 iPhone 6S+ and still works fine. If I have it and it works until the iPhone 22 (lol), I’m okay with that. All they’re doing is tracking us anyway. Can you say 5G?
Insightful indeed...
● It has been almost 10 years no longer buying fast food like KFC and Mc Donald...
● I have cut on buying red meat... it has saved me money
● I used to be obsessed buying different brands of hair sprays... I only buy one which lasts me a long time
● I no longer buy different brands of body lotions... one is enough
● I am slowly getting out of the habit of buying mugs... it's a serious obsession 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My self with mugs😂😂😒
Make myself use up toiletries first. I can’t buy anymore until I use up the 5 I already have.🥴
I’m glad I’m not the only one with the mug issue.
Same here on the lotion on hair products. One type of lotion and vaseline (nowadays I just use vaseline) and I use olive oil and she's butter for my hair. That's it.
I've been a mugger as well😂😂!!
Some people would usually tell me I am cheap but I don't care because I always know the value of money. I rather use my money on traveling or investments
This is my new resolution 🙏 my husband has told me this for a very long time now but I didn't listen until now. As I get older, I wanna live a fulfilling life( travel, invest n give people in need). 🙏
You are not cheap but smart.
@@vivian8639 thanks and blessings to you
@@timnanuahn3243 yes that's important 👏
YEs, people call me cheap too but you have to stick to what you value.
Regular nail polish no more, pay for manicure no more. Gel polish kit from Amazon, Sally Beauty on sale polish ($3 in the back) .... Saved so much money! It's fast, cheap, & no sitting still for hours to dry! I have spent less than $75 over the past year to expand my tools & products. I have been doing my nails for almost a year now. Salon Manicures would have totaled over $1000 & I lose so much time at the salon.
Such an awesome tip! Thanks for sharing!
TLDW:
1. Nail polish
2. Coffee to go
3. Face masks
4. Magazines
5. Random skin care
6. Uncomfy shoes
7. Pens and stationary
8. Notebooks
9. Latest cellphone
10. Cocktail dresses
Thanks!
Nice I don’t buy any of these
Thanks!
Thanks😊
Thank you!
OMG! I had to stop myself from buying extra pens and notebooks/journals, too. They just make me feel so together and organized. Lol...I am not buying more until I use the ones I have. Glad to know I'm not alone!
40+ year trend for me
This is my problem lol
Me too 🤦♀️
Me too.😃
Y’all!!!! Me too!!!! This is so cathartic seeing I’m not the only one!!!! 🥲🥰
This video made me think about my love for markers ✍🏾. Not ready to stop buying them though… but I have stopped buying:
1. Designer Purses 👜
2. Clearance Clothing I never end up wearing
3. Fancy Hats
4. Suits
5. New models of cutting machines when the new one works just fine
6. Off brand hand sanitizers
7. New Hair products
8. Unnecessary makeup
9. Uncomfortable shoes
10. Kitchen gadgets
😃 me too
99Ijoin,
Yes!!!!! Thanks for sharing! I could definitely do the same!
Kitchen gadgets is a good one, there are so manyyyy, it never ends
#2... just because it's 90% off (lol)
All of these I not longer buy. Another things for me is craft supplies, plants, home decorations, vitamins and miracle supplements, clothes. This happened after having my son, 3 years ago... I need to work on my food decisions though, I am strugling with food waste. I try hard to meal plan and a grocery shopping list, but with a picky toddler and husband, sometimes I cannot finish the healthy stuf by myself.
I feel you. I buy LOADS of craft supplies I spent $300 in the month of Dec 2021 in craft supplies alone - it's hard to control.
High heels that are pretty but not functional... That growth for me too came after having kids 😂
lol! Sigh! Thanks for tuning in!
Yup! I just have my heels as a reminder how I was before kids. It is an item I cannot get rid of 🙈
Lol me too, kids will make you retire the heels. I tried to put my heels on a month ago Trying to be cute with my husband, it lasted about 30 min. I had to run in the mall and buy a flat pair of shoes.
Me too
Nothing is important than our inner growth
I stopped buying high heels around 2 years ago. I just couldn’t take the pain. I still have about 50 pairs to sell with some not even used. I’m going to do a no buy year with clothes this year. I have so many because I worked in a popular high street store for over 10 years and used to get a 60% discount. Last year made me put things into perspective and made me realise I need to save more for my future.
Sell them on ThredUp. They will send you the bag (s) with shipping label for free and post them for a thrifty sale. If they do not look good enough to sell they recycle the material. Win-Win!
@@MsClassypianist Thankyou I will do
@@MsClassypianist check their reviews
How did that "no buy year with clothes" turn out? i'm looking at doing it this year
Yes. Love this video. I no longer buy fast food. I No longer buy high heeled shoes. I no longer buy real name brand purses. I no longer get credit cards... on debt free lifestyle.
Yasssssss!!
I no longer buy bottled water(my filter is good enough for me), I no longer buy plastic bags (I recycle the ones I get from the groceries). And since I'm going natural I stop buying a whole lot of products as I love to make my own from home naturally.
I don’t buy scarves anymore, I used to buy so many but i don’t wear them anymore. Skincare is still an issue for me because I get bored of the same products/scents.
I need to listen to this. I buy a lot of scarves. I wear them all the time though so...
You could buy smaller tubes of skincare products and switch brands every time you finish one 🤔 as long as you keep only one unit of each item nothing goes to waste
I no longer buy:
-« trendy » clothes. I keep it way more basic to make things last longer
- nail polish
- manicures
- spray tans
- random vegetables I don’t know how to cook
- Ebooks- i get them free from the library online, it’s just as easy
Yess
!!💯💯 the new species of vegetation is best to those who are familiar to it
Random vegetables I don’t know how to cook lol I thought it was just me 😂
I loved this comment!!!! The random vegetables!!! I just knew I was the only one!!! Thanks for putting it into words for us! Lol

1. Nail polish
2. Journals
3. Natural hair products
4. Hair pins
4. Bracelets
5. Face scrubs
6. Face serums
7. Perfumes
8. Scarves

How r u coping with not buying natural hair products....HELP!
Great list and useful!
Yes to the natural hair products. I typically use shampoo, conditioner to wash
And either gel, mousse, and a heat protectant. I mainly use gel though so the mousse and heat protectant is more of a yearly purchase.
@@SuperCynthia333 share brands.
Beautiful and insightful video , I am on this table and it took me being unemployed to become intentional with my spending
Makes 2 of us
I no longer buy hair products. I'm natural and there is always a new brand of natural hair products coming out like every month and I used to buy it and now I have 3 medium size boxes full ( and I mean full to the top of the box) of hair products. My mom saw these boxes of hair products and she said, " how many hair products do you need, you only have one head". lol! She's right. So told myself that I will not buy another hair product until I finish all the hair products in these boxes.
Good 4 u. It's called Shop My Stash. There's plenty of yt videos on that very topic. I'm watching vids & learning 2 shop my bodycare (BBW) lol.
Reason why I have so many is because I’m looking for the right product but I’m determined to finish my pile or give it to my mom. Her hair accepts all products
I hear you sis😂, I listed it on my video also
Hair products did me dirty esp because I had so issues.
Used to be a product junkie too when I first started my natural hair journey. My linen closet was full of products, stopped when I finally realized it wasn't about the products but about the techniques and what my hair liked and stick with those few products instead of chasing the next" perfect" one, plus hubby was like "do you have a new side hustle i don't know about ,are you opening a hair store"🤣
@@khadidjatoundiaye37 🤣🤣🤣
I no longer buy hair weaves
Mines would have to be:
Food on the go
Clothes that I won't wear
Too many hair products
Random things I wont use like hair clips
Coffee mugs
Car washes when I can do it myself
Too many useless office supplies
So many candles
Plants
Alot of produce at once
Thanks for sharing!!
Noooooowa not the plants… 😅
Omg! I'm definitely a mug junkie🤣
@@cbow5582 me too!
If you love them, let it go😁😊
Definitely agree with not buying a phone until it stops working. Had my last phone for 8 years before it broke. I was gutted when I had to spend money to buy a new one lol 🙈
I no longer buy things I already have because I have no space for them... like clothes, shoes, hair products, lotions, nail polish, handbags, purses, ... I have enough of them all. If I am invited out I'll choose what I already have and use what I have until its don't (hair care)
Minimalism in terms of what it means to me...how true. It is different for different people. Minimalism doesn't mean you have cut on everything. It also means that you do conscious shopping and retention of things
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
I think the skincare and coffee hit home for me. I wish I saw this before black friday shopping.
I no longer buy some house hold items, I buy the ingredients and make by myself which safe cost and are also effective, examples are; dish washing liquid, bathing soap, ice cream, snacks, my clothes.
I must be in the clear, I don't buy all the things mentioned in the video. But what I no longer buy..... perfumes upon perfumes. 1 or 2 max.
I don't buy trash bags😂. I don't produce a lot of trash and find the smaller shopping bags you get from Target or Walmart work well for me. I also don't spend money at the nail salon, there are cheap nail kits you can get off Amazon that will make your hands look just as good! I don't buy paper towels anymore either.
Thanks so much for sharing and for tuning in!
Same with trash bags, paper towels, and napkins. I have cloth napkins and dish towels I use instead of paper towels. I've bought 2 rolls in the 1 1/2 years since I moved into my current place, and they're just for chemical/pet messes that I don't want to use rags for. Trash bags I just use either plastic grocery bags ( I use reusables, but they're still common), or some other similar plastic bag I get ahold of, like bread bags.
I really like this video. I hope you do another one like it. I kept my last phone so long it began to act possessed doing things I didn't select.
😂
omg same here mine did the same like by itself it would delete all my stuff call people I didn't call.
🤣🤣 Have you been spying on me? Everything you've mentioned, I no longer buy. I had essentially stopped eating out for several years although recently I've ordered prepared food in a couple of times. After eating home cook food for so long, I find that I love my own cooking best. Lots of restaurants use too much salt and not the best quality products. Eating home is not only good for your health, it's great for your purse. I am going back to no more eating out.
Hallelujah 🙏🏽I'm with you. Eating out is a waste of time, as you said too much salt and poor quality food. I stopped eating out in 2010, long before the pandemic because I got so tired of not getting value for my money and getting sick later on
I loooove shoes and I was like you... if they looked good, I'm buying REGARDLESS of how they feel on my feet. Now, I can't. I try on shoes at the end of the day. If they still feel comfortable, I'll buy them.
Thank you for this. I appreciate it because now I have some "clearing out" to do.
I like saving money too, but if everyone saves and no one buys the US dollar looses value I try to do a blend a little bit of luxury so I feel happy and some saving in the event that something new comes out. That's why some places never get an update, in my opinion, because we preserve everything.
Coffee, I bought a $20 Coffee maker from Walmart. I buy creamer and whipped cream from the grocery store 😋
Cant let coffee go yet. I will hopefully grow into that lol
I don't buy most of those things but I LOVE notebooks. I have started using them now. As a creative I recover my generic and promotional notebooks and use them as morning pages journal (an Artist Way practice). The pandemic has changed my shopping habits. I have not bought any shoes in two years! Now I wear a lot of the clothes I can't part with that I wouldn't want to wear in public. A beautiful shirt that is too big, comfy pants t hat don't flatter my thighs.. For bargain hunters the best advice I got was don't buy it on sale if you wouldn't want it (not buy it) at full price.
Thanks so much for sharing!!
We have so many "no longer but" things in common! I also no longer buy pantyhose (just tights for me), fancy department store perfumes and necklaces/bracelets/rings.
Yall I hardly buy anything lol who knew I could really live on less and the basics lol. I've saved so much money.
That's what I'm trying to get to! Good for you!
Lol omg I relate to this sooooooo much! From heels, to PENS!!!!! LOL the coffee! The note books! You just got a new subscriber girl!!!
I no longer buy an outfit just because I’m going out. LOL, when Tiffany Haddish wore that white outfit 2-3 times, I was like - umm let me stop my madness too! And I’m NOT on the red carpet!
2. A new coat every year OMG I find thee most adorable coats - short, long, wool, cashmere, leather, fur, so many colors & patterns - WOOSAH!
3. a new bag EVERY year (lol you got to match the coat right?!)
4. the latest greatest LIPSTICKS in ALL my shades that look cute
5. basic restaurant food
6. Yankee Candles - I buy my fav oils & wax melts instead & refresh the wax w/the oil
7. top shelf liquor/food/gifts outside my home or close friends (sorry colleagues, not!)
8. cable (years in, I stream everything lol before it was popular)
9. Apple accessories
10. A new car every 3-4 years (this is huge! I literally had a new car every major model redesign)
Love this!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I’m guilty with the car. I just traded in a 2018 last year for a brand new 2021.
How do you do the candles?
Thank you thank you. I can so relate. Way too much of every thing. A bunch of books that I am still hoping to read. I am now 65
Shoes. Yes. My lower back has let me know uncomfortable shoes are no longer to be. Thank you for opening my eyes to letting go of all the nail polishes! I hadn’t considered until today but you are SO right. Thank you!
Ahhh the nailpolish!!!! Thanks for tuning in!!
Nail polish was my cheap kryptonite for a while. I always bought cheap ones, but even expensive ones chipped (I'm rough on my hands). Eventually I got to the point where I only got my nails done once a year for my birthday and started purging the stash. Also, nail polish is often full of unhealthy chemicals that I really don't need. I've pared back to 2 or 3 bottles and gotten rid of the rest.
Your points are so valid. Shoes especially and cellphones
This video AND the AMAZING comments !!! Thank you all for sharing!!!
Y’all for me….
-reusable bags…( because I forget to bring the ones I’ve previously bought😑)
-stuff for my alter… ( need to smudge and lovingly give away the stuff that doesn’t resonate with me BEFORE buying/adding something new)…
-hair products…(I can honestly say I have made a conscious effort and do not buy the extras to try… I stick with what works!
-journals and self help books… before I pick up that cute new sparkly journal or ya know the one with all the inspirational quotes… I think about the whole bottom row of journals in my book case…it’s time to write that memoir, Chile!
-tarot cards/Angel cards… yes I do readings and Honey, there is ALWAYS a new deck out!!! I started selling gently used decks… because sometimes you think you are attracted to a deck but then it takes awhile to connect with it… I have my go to decks I have bonded with and a few others… but just like any type of relationship I’m not gonna force it… Heeyy….anyone into animal tarot? Gotta deck for you!😉
-markers and colored pencils…. Chile… all the neighborhood kids can just stop by and pick up a set for the up coming school year… and I’ll probably be left with the 1 marker set and 1 colored pencil set I need. Lol
- throw blankets… 😑 … worked on that one…
- Guy “friends”…. Oooo… no she didn’t 🤓…this comment is not for this video huh?!… ok moving on
-accessories…. Uh yup
-makeup/lil storage bags… that have cute sayings on them like “flawless” or ya know what I mean, Chile
Ok loosing steam… there are probably more things I can not buy anymore but this moment with this video, comments and me adding my own excerpt from my future memoir… was cathartic 💚
This is sooo me... crystals 😂
I would be interested in a animal deck
I stopped buying hand bags. I realised I don't need many hand bags. 2 strong handbags, a brown one and a black one works for me. I no longer buy high heels because I no longer feel comfortable in high heels especially stilettos. I've also stopped trying new skin products. Like you said girl, I know what I like and I like what I know. I also had a habit of buying something just because it was on sale and sometimes end up not even ever using it.
Love this. I used to be nail polish junkie once upon a time but I did use it often but still I had way too many for one person
Same here very simple and respect money differently now with age.
Yes!!!
My list
📍Nail Polish
📍Hair Products
📍Earrings
📍Shoes
📍Bags
📍Clothes
📍Makeup
📍Skincare Products
📍Taxi
📍Junk Food
I no longer buy “Aso-ebi” such a waste of money
Excellent points!
I subscribed straight away as I heard you mention twins. Am a mother of twins too
No joke .. getting older, I buy less shoes but more bras.
I buy less fast food but more food to cook at home
I buy less sweet drinks but drink more instant coffee and tea at home
I buy way less chemical cleaning products and use more vinegar for cleaning and make a few cleaners from vinegar.
Buy hardly no deli meats and cook more beans and rice dishes.
Use online cooking recipies, newspapers and music sites.
Me too! Retired and don't need those things. My husband and I have always enjoyed cooking.😊
Add baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and tea tree oil to your shopping list. Why because they have multiple uses for both skin and at home you would be surprised how much you save in the long run if you add those to your list. Tea tree oil is the most expensive but a good investment, just like the others which are cheaper but very versatile. Check online for their multiple uses and you get what I'm talking about. Also for those who iron, I no longer buy spray starch it does not do the work as well as deionised water which is much cheaper and keeps your iron clean.
Agree! Coffee out is a waste of change. You have probably helped thousands IF they listen to your wisdom. Common sense ideas helps us ALL.
What a brilliant video..I relate with most of the things mentioned.. we tend to unconsciously buy unnecessary things just because its cheap or we think we may use it. I carry my own shopping bags and don't go to the store unless its really necessary.
Love this! Thanks for watching!!!
I no longer buy cheap jewelry, random perfume, trendy clothes ( I love t-shirts ), and heels.
Your skin is sooo gorgeous! I can see why you don't need to try out a bunch of different skincare anymore. I'm definitely with you on that as well!
For me it's the gym. Sometimes months of paying without going . I need to know what really works for me. I have stopped many that you have mentioned . My phone is S9 samsung galaxy!!!working perfectly 👌
I so agree with you on all 10 points and I am at the stage like you where I no longer purchase none of those things anymore especially the shoes and the coffee
I am with you girl, i did the stop buying about eight years ago 😊
Thank you thank you, i feel the same way.and buying all these things then we have a hard time throwing them away.
I've become so cheap,I literally stay away from the malls I'm only bothered about improving my nutrition.
I feel like this video summarizes me how are we so different but behave the same all that is me girl, thumbs up for being economical and logical
Preach sis! Greetings from New jersey!
I bought one pair of Louboutins and honestly, I will never ever buy another pair. It's such a waste of money! I love the fact that poorly fitting shoes made your list! Also, I haven't bought a pen in over a decade! LOL! I get them for free all over the place so it doesn't even make sense, lol!
The work you do for others is useful and a true blessing. THANK YOU for sharing with us.
I have been thinking the same thing lately. I am starting slowly to see if I really need what I'm about to purchase.
OMG, I’m like that, love pens, notebooks, I have pens from years ago. Nail polish, that’s me as well, burgundy and maroons, are my fav colors. Thank you for this information, very useful 😉
I love your contents.They are very educational and are facts.I also subscribed.
i found you from Shandy and I'm so glad i did!
i saw the pens sitting on the shelf behind this lady and thought "I like her, we have something in common." Interesting content UNTIL she announced "pens" and then slammed me with "notebooks." I have enough for an entire elementary school district (if they still use them.) I think the first step to remedy this situation is to subscribe.
Lolzz
I'm really glad I found your Channel. I think you are going to teach me a lot.
So true...I am also going to cut down on hair products and clothes in general...I only need shampoo, conditioner, and styling product...As far as clothes are concerned, I basically rotate about 10 items...some things I haven't worn in years...
Thank you for the information 🙏
I agree 100% with you. Working on almost similar list
HEELS >I have so many heels SMH.. I wouldn't buy uncomfortable ones but, going to work and my hubbs and I did alot of social things..but I started working remotely before Covid and we stopped going out like that..so I now have shelvesssssss of heels🙄
NAILPOLISH > the same story...but like you when I got my nails done I chose the same 2 colors : OPI Lincoln Park after Dark or Midnight in Moscow
STATIONARY > Why O Why ???
I have started using my old outdated calendars as around the house scrap paper.
MAKEUP > GIRLLLLLLL I have enough makeup for 20 faces... if I add up the cost I'd be a millionaire 🤯🤯🤯but again I started working remotely a year before Covid..and then Covid...so in 2 years I think I had a full face of makeup on maybe 10 times....I CAN'T !!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭
My things I will no longer be buying are:
1) pens
2) notebooks
3) fabric
4) craft items
5) kitchen gadgets
6) more journals
7) books
I got a library card, will journal until the book is filled and not buy another cause it’s cute. And no more pens and notebooks 🥺
Just discovered your channel! And I love you sooo much!
Thanks soooo much for being here!!!!
Journals!!!! Yes, that’s a no no - I have sooo many that i now give them away as gifts!!!
I’ve been working on becoming a MINIMALIST for the last 3-4 years.
I’ve gotten a lot better but still have a ways go to get rid of- PRAYING 🙏 for myself
You are doing great! Thanks for sharing!
I lovee ur video miss ,very informative, thanks
* Fast food
*Bath and Body works
*Anything that look nice off Amazon
* Pens
* Nail polish
* Braids cost to much learn from UA-cam universe
* pedicure learned from UA-cam universe
* eyebrows
* lashes
Glad to see I am not the only pen and notebook hoarder. 🤣
😭😭😭😭
Clever Girl, I totally agree with percent. I only use natural products on my skin, which works better than most "store bought" stuff!!
Love love love. I can relate to your list. Thank you. Ditttttoo
Awesome video!
I am a Maxwell House coffee person. I recently discovered great coffee from Haiti that I buy to support the Haitian economy - two brands are Carribrew & Mokafe as well as Haitea for tea. I need to save more. I will be investing in 2022. I agree with you, I need to stop buying nail polish. I no longer buy tea that is not as organic as possible. I no longer buy meat that is not humanely slaughtered. I eat less meat. Meat has to be drained of all its blood in order to be edible. I no longer buy turkey as it is considered a domesticated vulture. I no longer buy candy or gum as I have a tooth missing. I try to bake bread more than buy it. And yes, those high heels are not worn anymore.
I'm Haitian and haven't found coffee that I like better than Haitian coffee. Dark roast with this caramel subtaste because they roast it with cane sugar.
I even put it in these reusable pods in order to brew it with my Nespresso machine.
I get a tone of it for cheap directly from home so I'm not about to spend $7 a cup at Starbucks.
How I can relate to Sephora buying. I just deleted the app because I’m spending way too much. I’m new here to your channel and I’m really here to learn. I’ve also added your podcast.
Thanks so much for being here!!! 🎉
Great info!!! Thank you..!😍
This was real good💯💯
I no longer buy…designer handbags, an extra pair of shoes that I love, bottled water, anything in a plastic bottle if I can get a refil without the plastic, beauty products, expensive hair products, jewelry, excessive amounts of clothes, subscriptions, fast food and dining out, frozen foods, I’m sure there’s more but…here ya go.
Hahaha oh my, that stationery !sheepishly raising my paw :-D
Things I buy but have decreased
- I make it a point to first finish the products I have instead of stocking during random purchases n sale...skincare n makeup
-I use mobile note pad to scribble stuff...hence saving paper n trash waste n plastic pen waste for non official things
- I have stopped watching television dramas that only talk about negativity, ditching, betrayal, non constructive stuff
- Instead of pointy heels, I opt for flat heels....gives me the height & gives me less pain
- decreased nailpolish buys drastically
Perfect list!!! I also eliminated buying an array of makeup colors lips and eyes as well as a bunch of haircare products I never use.
Thanks for those tips clever girl
Great tips I agree with you in all.
I love every bit of this. I am the person with all the pretty notebooks, pens, pencils, and skincare. Years ago I ruined my arches with high heels on a hike through Arlington National Cemetery - I was in high school. But yes, I need to be comfortable. I no longer buy NEW outfits just to keep up with my in-laws.
Thanks so much for sharing this!
I am happy I subscribed to this channel.👍👍
Happy to have you here!!
This is very helpful, I have a wedding in two weeks and will use something from my closet. Add to coffee, mask, nail polish and magazine. Will be more careful at grocery and Costco too.
Yay! Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks so much for good advice, I've subscribed. I am already (not) doing most of the 10 items you mention. Just a couple of thoughts: Cosmetics, especially skin creams. Some years ago I read a prominent facial surgeon who advised the expensive face creams are just not worth it. What we are paying for is mostly marketing. He advised generic drug store creams do just as well. So I stick with a moisturiser and cleanser which comes out at $150 per year. Cocktail dresses: I have to sometimes wear cocktail wear even if only for work events, and have separates - tops/blouses, 2 skirts in two lengths = many options, and a bonus, some of these can be worn for dressy day wear. Subscriptions: especially online subscriptions. I am a news junkie and was a magazine junkie, and took inventory of all my online subscriptions which came to $100 + per month! I've cancelled all of them and only read a daily free digest.
This is a great video. I agree with her on some of these. I appreciate this informative video. Thank you and good job.
Loved this.
Thank you for being here!
Everything you mention is on my do not buy list too for the same reason.
OMG I can relate to the cocktail dress addiction! I don't know why i was so obsessed, lol, i would hardly wear them. Thank you for your videos.
Right?! 😂
What an interesting video,here is mine
1.Capris or 3/4 pants
2.Magazines
3.Uncomfortable shoes
4.Skirts
5.Scarves
