    The other day I saw a comment that said "shopping doesn't always mean buying" and that helped me so much. I really like going to stores and seeing all the things, but I started to view it like window shopping! Nice to look at, but if I dont absolutely need it i won't get it.

      In Spanish there's a word for that, "vitrinear" it's a verb that's form from the word "vitrina" showcase, the windows at stores

      Yes!! I love going to look! Sometimes I'll pick up an item and then put it back, because while I like the item, someone else will appreciate and love it more than I do.

      I got a lot more chill about shopping (or collecting in genereal), when I realised, that I don't need to bring home everything, I thought was beautiful. I still can find things beautiful, enjoy them, yet don't own them. That's why I never pick flowers, even if I have plenty in my garden. Everyone shoul enjoy them, from the neighbours to all the insects.

      I saw a japanese vlogger driving with the train to a store, buying nothing and after leaving she told us how inspired she was by all the items and how successful this trip was. It was kind of mind blowing for me. Successful shopping doesn't necessarily mean that you have to buy something, but to become happy and inspired. If you're going to an art gallery, you also (usually) went out happy without buying a picture.

    Honestly, as bad as it sounds, my room catching on fire was probably one of the best things to happen to me. It made me get rid of things i didn't need and realize that i bought too much. Now i only buy things that i really need. I dont have nearly as many clothes or items as i did before and im better off because of it.

    It’s called window shopping to us. Go to the mall, browse stuff but don’t buy anything. Ironically I go to the mall without money so the urge to buy wouldn’t be there. I browse stuff and think “once I have money, I’ll buy that” until I have the money and rethink if I really want that item or just a spur of the moment. I don’t use or carry credit card either to avoid unnecessary purchases.

    It’s cool to see what they have, especially if I have someone to walk with. You can get a feel for what kinds of things they like and why do you can plan a deliberate purchase for them later. You can also see what’s still there next time or what sold fast to get a sense of what other shoppers might grab before you in case the sold out item might be something you need to shop for later.

  • @SunshineAndFlowers01
    @SunshineAndFlowers01 11 місяців тому +1

    I often think: just because I like it, doesn't mean I need to have it. In the past, I would buy things just because they looked pretty, but know I try to decide first whether I would actually wear/use the item. Most of the time it's a no, but I still appreciate the beauty of the item!

    Its fun to thriftshop without even buying anything. People need to get out of the house, between being home and work, we seek a third place and for me its the thriftshops. Everybody has such good vibes there and I love to find objects I have never seen before, however I realized that its as fun to just look around, maybe buy one item but taking a picture of a cool antique thing can do as much as buying it. I love the experience, but I do not need any more clothes or decor items (for now ;) )

    Man the trick of leaving things behind is to love what you already have at home. I love love love my mugs and even though i'd love to get more fun shaped ones, the ones i've got are already so much fun especially since i painted and fired a few of them myself. And when in a store, i just remind myself of the love i have for the things i already have

    I love ALL the things!!! I’m a semi reformed shopping addict. Pretty things make me feel better. So my solution is to buy used things. I know I can’t let consumerism go, so 2nd hand is my friend. I give myself a limit. I’m only allowed to spend $20. I also give things away when family & friends come over.

    In the middle east we have a blend of both. When it comes to religious activities and official work/appointments we are very very strict with time. We pray our five prayrs in time, we fast and break fast in time, we go to work on time and many people go before the appointment's time in and hour or 30 minutes to be ready. But when it comes to scoial events its pretty much polyphonic. A party at 6? Guests are expected at 7 or 8. A funeral at 6? Attendees are expected at 7 or 8. A family gathering? You either come early to help or come late to hang out. Going out at 3? One comes on 3, one comes on 4, once comes on 5:30.

  • @FionaApplewright
    @FionaApplewright 11 місяців тому

    I''m glad you touched on this point; I'm not a fan of haul vids in general, but specifically in thrift shops, when it becomes a flipping items for profit scenario. It's one thing to take some terrible, outdated clothing and re-make it into something fashionable to resell, or if it's kitchy decor, but I get really toasted when it's something that is essentially a need, like winter coats and shoes. Leave the scuffed Nike's for someone who actually needs them as an alternative to being barefoot in winter and stick to garage sales and online marketplaces for your reselling. Not meaning to hate on anyone who shops thrift ('cause so do I) and obviously not everyone shopping there is super poor, but I personally try to be really mindful of who might need items like that more than I need a discount and leave it behind, where hopefully it will be purchased by someone whom would otherwise be unable to afford those items at full price.

    This is great. Window shopping and browsing is fun. When I was a kid my grandparents used to take me to this big flea market that had an upstairs and downstairs. We usually didn't buy anything, it was just a fun outing. My Nanny was actually a hoarder though.. Growing up the living room was full of old stuff that she never used. We never actually sat in there. The furniture was covered with cloth as was the old television set. It was like she just closed it off one day and then it ended up as a storage room. We always spent time in the area with a fireplace off the kitchen/dining area that she called "The Den". Part of that was probably because they never updated the house with heating and cooling. There was 1 air conditioner installed into the wall of the kitchen, and the 1 fireplace. There were gas heaters in the bathroom and living room, but they really never used them or the air conditioner. I can remember a handful of times when the bathroom heater was turned on or the attic fan or AC. Even in the middle of Arkansas summer she didn't want to turn on the AC and only did so for company. Her clothes were everywhere cause she had so many. They were all neatly hung and stuff, but they were in every closet, her bed, hanging from the shower curtain rod, hanging in the RV, like everywhere. She hated getting rid of anything, especially if someone gave it to her. There were a few vintage appliances that she'd never used that I ended up with when she passed away. Including an electric skillet, and a combination slow cooker/fryer/electric cooking pot. Those 2 things and a microwave saved me when I lived in a place that didn't have an oven.

Now unless i can use it for more than one thing or have a purpose for it right now not in the 'future'( that never comes) as much as i love that item i pass! Plus i dont go to the big ones goodwill v.v i go to smaller ones they have way more reasonable prices and some will even deliver for a small fee!

    I agree huge hauls are disgusting. Unless you’re moving in for the first time to an empty house. Or lost everything from a disaster. I don’t understand. I’m trying to refrain from buying. And buying new. There are certain things I need or want. In those cases because I already have too much I try and remove at least one or two items and rehome them to a friend, family member or donate or something sustainable with items.

A lot of my friends don't quite understand why even when i do find stuff i like (i'm quite picky because of sensory issues and mu own very specific person taste) i often don't buy it. The biggest "thrift haul" i've had recently was a bodysuit, and dvd, and a tanktop. Yes there were lots of cute trinkets and candles and funny shirts, but i don't need them so why should i use my money and space on it
