My husband is responsible for doing the online order and he's so bad for not doing this! At one point we had 3 bags of chips in the freezer! We only have chips, maybe on e per weekWhen it comes to food shopping I check my cupboards and fridgefreezer to see what I actually do need, that way I'm not buying things I already have then I write it down and stick to it. So this weeks shop should be about £10.
More so minimalism rather than no buy, but have you got an e-reader? I've been considering getting one so that I can take my books to work without so much wear + tear, and also as I'm running out of book shelf space nowadays.Love this idea and I have unintendingly not bought myself anything yet in January so I am going to see if I can stick to it. I have been decluttering and trying to minimise where I can but it is definitely an ongoing process. I am really having to look at myself and ask WHY do I feel the need to keep buying? I also feel like a shitty human being supporting these companies that pay their staff a non livable wage and then all the stuff ends up in landfills anyway. Have you seen the pictures of the mounds of unwanted clothes that people abroad are having to live amongst? Its honestly disgusting and I don't want to participate in it anymore. Follow the nobuy hashtags on Instagram is really motivating too. The only thing that I will not be cutting back on is buying books as reading is so so beneficial to my mental health and I really thrive on it but I will definitely be making more of an effort to go to the library instead. Excited to hear how everyone gets on
I used to favour lidl/aldi but find i spend less doing click and collect as can review items and resist impulse buys. I aim for £1 per item so £60 for 60 items.When it comes to food shopping I check my cupboards and fridgefreezer to see what I actually do need, that way I'm not buying things I already have then I write it down and stick to it.

I don't have one yet, I have been considering it but I just love real books too much! I sell all of my books onwards anyway as soon as I have read them so the space thing isn't too much of an issue but I do spend a lotMore so minimalism rather than no buy, but have you got an e-reader?

However that's got to wait until after January!
I've made so much use of the Libby app which my council uses for it's library service. I tend to get more audiobooks and there's a great selection. I'm working my way through Harry Potter at the moment, I do end up having to wait quite often to either continue a book or get the next one but I've listened to loads of others in between.Check your library for electronic book loans and Amazon do a great selection of free ebooks even without any type of subscription.
