10 Things I Stopped Buying as a Minimalist | things I no longer buy to save money 💸

[@Christinamychas]

What are some things you no longer buy to save money, or to live more minimally? 🥰 like for a part 3 if you want to seeeee ❤️

[@akreeger7742]

I was trying to just stop buying things I don't need, but I've had a setback. We also had our power go out for 36 hours earlier this week, and an impromptu get together to celebrate my cousin getting married. This resulted in a lot of extra spending, and I'm like "well, budget's blown anyway, why not get this and this too". I need to stop it! It's hard ☹️

[@Christinamychas]

@@akreeger7742 it is hard! ❤️ I have definitely felt the same.

[@kathgriffiths7985]

New clothes! Well from stores, I've embraced vinted / depop this last 18 months. Yes hair dye for me too!! Saved so much. X

[@assyrianshimsho7558]

I do the same with netflix 😅 My brother has got an account and I am allowed to use it. The same with disney plus: my other brother pays for us, it is his christmas gift for all times 😂 Better than getting stuff 😉

A dog can be soooooo expensive. I’m pleased and applaud you for making the responsible decision to hold off until you are financially set. Pet emergencies and special meds for unforeseen diets have cost us THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars for our 16 yr old girl. One day vet hospital stay was $1500. It all adds up.

[@Christinamychas]

Definitely ❤️🐶

[@Isabella-de7kv]

Are there no pet insurances where you live? ☺️

[@kassiejohnson549]

I could never live without my dog :( I have a chihuahua and he's so low maintenance.. he just brightens up my day and he's just the bets thing ever.

[@ceedee743]

You are so right. I got a Yorkie 8 years ago. The first year was crazy, meaning I spent 1000s to keep her alive, visiting all available veterinarians to get to know what was wrong. We first thought she had a shunt, but it was much worse than this, she got micro vascular dysplasia, which is inoperable. No insurance will take her. I was told, she would live only one or two years, so I decided to make the very best of it and make her short life a splendid one. I did not listen to the vets, telling me, she must live a diet without any meat. I gave her everything, and I mean everything! she wanted. Her preferred food was and is what I eat. She likes every kind of vegetables, chicken, fish, but really she eats everything except bananas. She got stronger and stronger and has gained weight from 900 grams and being malnourished to 2 kilograms. She does not need any medication anymore, blood tests are always good and I love her with all my heart like a child, and won’t let her go down. Without spending all that money she surely would be dead by now. The last years were the cheapest. Just the regular shots. I can’t give her any dewormer, so I just get tests two times a year. She is the most loving and obedient dog I ever had. I really think, one day she will speak to me 😂😂😂. Her breeder wanted to take her back and change her to a new dog. She would have been put down, to free the breeder from the costs she would have been facing, if I took a lawyer. Needless to say I declined and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I would never ever give her up. So it’s right to save before getting a dog, and getting a health insurance if possible.

You have fast become one of my favorite people to watch. Your content is always so fresh and rarely repeats what's already out there. You dig deep, you get personal, and you call it out (talking to you Fantasy Self) Thx for these videos Christina. I'm here for it all.

[@kasiad9826]

hi there. I'm you big enthusiast, being Polish and living in UK. I love your channel, Saving money tips in particular. I don't have too much debt but trying to save up for house deposit. I already stopped buying clothes as after early spring binge clothing shopping I found out I have plenty clothes to wear I just need to get out of my comfort zone(I'm overweight and my weight fluctuate a lot)and make the most of those I have. Also my 6 years old son is asking for a dog- but I explained him that its expensive and we don't have space for it now. Im trying to be mindful with every purchase but I love to splurge here and there- after all, I'm working hard for it, so why not. My clothes are very basic, my skincare is basic, my makeup is very streamlined and I'm very proud of what I achieved over last few years on my journey to be more minimalist. I tried not to dye my hair, but I'm just not ready for this yet, and its totally fine-there will be time when I wont mind my ashy hair with greys in it. And when I feel lost and depressed and want to buy something, I think twice and watch your videos...keep posting videos Christina, many of us need them to keep on track. with love xxxx

[@moneybee]

I started up buying fresh flowers again because I found they are good therapy. I keep them on my desk and notice they help to reduce my stress.

[@kriscrossender4525]

If you want some advice to help stop biting your nails, you can get "fidget rings" from amazon or etsy that will allow you to fidget and play with them when you get anxiety instead of going for your nails. I have a couple myself and they're the only rings I will wear anymore!

[@Olivina330]

So with you about flowers (and I love the plants in the background)! ❤️ Instead of purchasing a bunch of flowers, I ended up getting dried ones that are elegant and last for years

[@lone1299]

Platinum blonde maintenance is just crazy expensive- it’s one of the biggest “wedding” expenses I had that for my wedding that should have been in 2020 but Covid cancelled it and it’s not until 2022 now… I’m now stuck with do I just move back to my natural colour knowing I won’t get it back to platinum for the wedding but knowing I will save a ton of is that just a waste of the last three years work…

[@magicalspacegiraffe]

I'd say stick it out till the wedding. Once you go back to brunette, there's no way to make it platinum again. So you won't be able to go blonde for years. And it's best to not expect a cool toned or neutral brunette. But you could stretch out the time between hairdresser visits, which should cut down total costs. There are special colour touch up sprays that are great at blending the line, some people find baby powder works both as dry shampoo and hides roots a bit. I find that if there's a lot of volume at roots, the new growth doesn't look bad, so texture/volume powders are good option too. And when all else fails - scarfs and hats it is!

[@marylaidig5755]

Love your honesty and thoughtful presentation in your video.

[@samcassie9192]

I try to buy organic meat whenever possible, it really does make a difference on the taste and for me it’s worth the cost. I’d rather eat smaller amounts of organic meat than large quantities of non organic

[@sarahriggs1793]

Great video. I hear you on the pets. We have a pug and while I adore her and would never give her up, I openly admit she is a very expensive dog to maintain. Between her meat and dust allergies and removing frequent lymphomas, I spend thousands each year in specialty foods and prescriptions. Definitely something to think our prior to getting a pet.

[@fawnsteyn7923]

I love my puggies too, and would do anything for their wellness and happiness, but they have cost me a small fortune. I don't think I will get a dog again. I'll just enjoy my time with them now.

[@robynhab]

I'm an animal lover & hoping to become a veterinary nurse... but I can't tell you how often I tell people that the most responsible way to be an animal lover sometimes is to NOT get that dog 😂 If they have skin / dietary / general health issues it gets sooo expensive. Not to mention cute "easy" looking pets like rabbits who you can't let roam free in your rental apartment cause they'll eat the tables & walls. If a large vet bill cripples you, you can't really afford that pet. All in good time, I'll have a little dog pack one day 😊

[@robynhab]

Not saying not to get pugs, but to my friend who's still paying off credit card debt & wants to get a dog with her new boyfriend.... just no 😂

[@ColleenJoudrey]

I'm in a similar boat with having pets. I had a cat up until 6 years ago and didn't really notice the extra costs of owning a pet until she developed lung cancer and I started paying for chemo. I really miss having animals around the house but I'm currently not in the financial position to afford those kinds of vet bills so it's best to wait until my debt journey is complete before adopting another dependent.

[@susanvelez6534]

So proud of you 👏🏼 we started our no spend year together. I have a big savings now , debt free and thinking of going more minimalist clothing wise. I realized the colors I wear are ivory and black. Therefore, I just put a bag together today for goodwill and am going to try to stick to those colors see how it works for me. Not really having to put much thought into what you wear is ideal so we shall see. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙋🏻‍♀️

[@taraa4281]

About to finish my MSc in plant agriculture here, and yes I prioritize organic and local produce but it is an absolute privilege. Our food in Ontario, is so expensive bc we dont prioritize plant ag here nor do we subsidize farmers the way americans and europeans do. so we import everything when we shouldn't have to, especially since we have such a diverse soil profile ( tell me where else in the world you can grow grapes, peaches, winter wheat & beans!) its frustrating, especially since excessive pesticide use is so harmful to our health and environmental health. Don't feel bad about it, its more of a voting issue rather than a "vote with ur $" thing imho.

[@Christinamychas]

Wow super helpful to know! Thank you!

[@booksiswhatilove]

I only buy a few fruits/veggies organic. Primarily celeries. I look at the USDA Dirty Dozen to look at the ones with the most pesticides. Celery is also more like permeable so it’s easier for pesticides to get in?

[@onimendez7735]

Thank you for sharing, as always, Christina! Your pup was so beautiful!❤ Excellent choice to put funds aside for your future furbaby since many people don't realize how expensive medical bills, etc are.

[@amyli092]

I hear you on the whole ordeal of getting manicures or pedicures! I use my hands a lot at my job, and so even if I were to get something like a gel manicure, it just wouldn't feel comfortable. I think the last time I painted them myself was last year during lockdown. I just like to keep my nails plain and simple 😊

[@noveliniel52]

I’m just like you with manicures! A nail biter who picks my cuticles…I used to get manicures to stop myself, but at best manicures offer temporary protection and ultimately the constant on and off of nail polish or shellac ruined my nails. What I DO invest in now is actual nail maintenance. I use an amazing nail/cuticle oil and moisturizer nightly. So now my nails aren’t long or sexy, but they’re healthy!

[@AmandaDawn3391]

Hi Christina. Just dropping in to say how much I love your wording in how you put things into perspective. I really relate to a lot of it, not just in this video. Thanks for your honesty.

[@Shria9]

I love glancing down at my hands and seeing pretty nails. Even if I ate food I shouldn't, skipped a workout or dented my credit card, I can still feel good when I look at nice nails. So, I bought my own gel lamp and a few colours of polish I like (Colour-changing!) and do my own manicures. It took a few tries to get it right, but now they look good enough that someone asked me where I got them done the other day. I keep it all organized in a nice little bin so I don't go buy more colours or art. If the bin is full, I don't get anything else. I also put it in my budget so I can replace the colours I use up without denting my credit card. And, every time I use the lamp I get nice nails but save the cost of a professional manicure that I really wanted.

[@beyondstudio2938]

Love this video! Please do more of these! 🙏 I am with you on so many things. Mainly the nail care, flowers and the puppy sinking fund!🐶 Can’t wait to finally be able to get a sausage dog 😍 Also girl - your arms look soo toned! Those home workouts are definitely working and you don’t need a gym membership 💕

[@olachamczyk]

I absolutely love your hair! I have quite a similar hair color, and as I'm few years younger than you, my grey hair just started to show up recently. I've been thinking on how to approach them as I get older, but looking how cool your hair looks, I'm thinking I will just let it be 🥰

[@zoraidarodriguez1761]

Great video. Totally agree with your choices. I myself am preparing for a furry friend. Pets are expensive but add so much to our lives. 😊🐕🐈

[@nisapl]

I cannot imagine my life without a dog but you just gained my utmost respect now (not like i didn't have respect for you before) for willing to wait u til you're in a more stable position financially to get another pup. Ours just passed away recently from cancer and we easily must had spent something around €10k for his treatments and adjacent costs. We would do it all over again if that means he'd still be with us but i wouldn't lie by saying it was not financially heavy for us. On top of it, he was diagnosed right after we just bought a house. I hope you'll get wherever you feel comfortable to get one though. Their love is like nothing else on the world.

[@deemovingbeats2772]

So true especially after last year made me realise didn't need so much. Having my dog made me exercise always & free Pilates apps do adious gym. Clothes always declutter give to charity for people who really needed some. So love this video as very true x

Good for you! Love Dave’s message!

[@blueskyvan4118]

Agree 100%! Such a good list👍

[@IMprintpress]

Shopping for food in season is best! Often times your local grocery store has local produce too which is much better for the environment, since they don't have to truck it from many miles away! Look at you being more green even if you aren't buying "organic". ;)

[@morganwentworth2041]

I got a ticket to Barcelona in 2022 for $300. I'm currently saving money to make it the trip of a lifetime because I won't have many opportunities like this. And if the flight falls through (oh God) it's insured and I'll still have the money saved

[@oliviamayumi]

This obviously varies a lot depending on where you live, but my city has a lot of dogs in shelters. We were lucky enough to get an adult dog who’s always been incredibly well-behaved and we never had her trained (which even surprised the vet). We already knew sort of what her personality was like before we adopted her, plus we only had to cover vaccine fees. She’s a mutt, but she’s adorable and the light of my life. When you’re ready for it, I highly recommend looking into rescues!

[@emilyscott2042]

Same. If you don’t adopt a puppy, you miss a lot of those first 1-2 year expenses. I got my girl at about 3 and she’s perfectly trained - and I had no part in that!

I no longer impulse buy scented candles, beauty soaps and lotions from Bath & Body works, and seasonal decorative trinkets from Home Goods. My last two trips to Home Goods resulted in me walking out after putting down a candle and superfluous kitchen gadgets. I love kitchen gadgets. My inner dialogue said you don’t need it. I stopped visiting craft stores. I quit buying yarn, fabric, fantasy project supplies and limited my sewing purchases to a narrow focused purchase of needs, and not that cool new sewing gadget. I have to confess I splurged and bought myself a set of sewing clothing clips that work better than pins. I digress. They are so handy, make sewing so much easier, and keep pins off the floor. I keep working on it. A little progress each day leads to self improvement.

[@WeAreBullets]

I hate gyms and I love travelling. Pets are a luxury, many don't realize it. However it's a luxury and many who struggle financially and get a pet go more into debt.

[@doctordonnanoble]

This is refreshing, thank you for being candid! Air travel is crazy expensive from Canada, definitely not practical while trying to save. Luckily road trips in Canada are lovely and there are so many beautiful places to visit within the country. I agree on pets as well, as much as I adore them. Another minimalist/budgeting KZbinr I follow has gotten a cat and the pet bills really add up. I'm glad you are being practical!

[@jennyk.8349]

I worked at a grocery store when I was younger and the opposite term we used for “non organic” produce was “conventional” I became obsessed with organic produce and justified the price tag and spent way more than I could afford. Now I’m all about conventional (I just wash my stuff really well before eating) and organic is something I rarely ever gravitate towards. Def money saving! Love the video btw! 😊

[@paulinaowczarek5667]

I never dyed my hair, I cut them once every two/ three years and usually is my friend who is hairdresser. I gave up nail polish three years ago. I never bought fresh flowers instead I have one pot with aloes. Easy to maintaince. 😁 No netflix, disney, hbo at all, only youtube. I spent money for holiday once per year, I wish for more, but maybe in future.

[@Tatiana-cd1vu]

I literally don't spend money on any of these either, except that I buy some food organic. I understand what you mean about spending money on travelling and pets, I also postpone those until I am more financially secured. It helps to be a low maintenance girl, I don't spend money on any extra beauty stuff either. And I also used to bite my nails all my life, and at the end of 2020 I just decided to stop and that worked for me :)

[@ashleyanastasia7779]

"You do you", people shouldn't be "disagreeing" with your life choice, you aren't telling them to do the same. This is definitely a legit concern: organic is a financial pitfall for me as much as clothes has been for you. What we started during covid is buying from the grocery supplier in bulk. If you're still hanging onto organic like me, I would suggest to try to never let anything expire in your fridge, and definitely cut out restaurants if you haven't already: they usually aren't organic so it isn't helping you. Lastly, we bulk from the bulk grocery supply, so we get a lot of staples (tomato sauce, olive oil, flour, beans, oats) for $1/lb, and then don't buy it again for like a year.

[@hollyashton7009]

[@stephparsons2077]

You’re so right about pets! My pets are my biggest outgoing, even above my mortgage. I have to pay a dog walker 3times a week, food, vet bills and vaccinations, medications. I have a car so I can drive the dogs out of the city for walks.. which is our hobby too but I can’t walk the dogs without it. I don’t want to holiday without my dogs so we have a camper van 😂😂. I love them and wouldn’t change it but pets can be expensive 🤣🤣.

[@wiltedspinachcat3472]

i always wanted to be the girl with her nails always done, but i find the process of getting them done agonizing. i hate the chemical smell, the awkward hour long silence with the nail tech, the expense, and then it only lasts for maybe two weeks at most because my nails have always grown incredibly fast. ive since gotten rid of all my nail polish and just keep my nails cut and filed as short as possible. my nails are much healthier since ive stopped painting them (especially my toe nails)

having a loan in the country I live is actually better, the more depts you have the less taxes you're going to spend. so sometimes I don't understand the pressure in paying your loan off as soon as you can. when all is payed off, here the government will take so many taxes from you...

[@Weasleykins]

I don't buy the things that you stopped buying either. What I have stopped buying is gifts for family, I will just piggy back off my parents now and make a homemade card with the items already owned. I also stopped buying the things I know I will use once and never use again. I will try and use reusable items like a plastic container over a sandwich bag.

Organic doesn't mean spray free - I'm sceptical that organic means better. I'm lucky to live an area that produces a lot of food so I can have a better idea of how it is grown and what sprays are and are not used.

[@Riaguk]

But that's not the point of organic groceries. It's better for the environment because less pesticides and chemical fertilizer are used to grow the food.

[@TrishasMusic]

@@Riaguk That's not how it's advertised though! People think organic = healthier for your body. Environmental effects are debatable, because organic food takes up wayyyy more land, so we would need to clear more forests to grow the same amount of food-not great for the environment either.

If you want a dog, get a little dog. It’s really not that bad. I have a 7 lb toy poodle. I groom my dog, only buy dog food once a month. Poops are incredibly small making it easy lol. I have my mom watch my dog if I’m out of town which is perfect because she has little dogs too and they all get along. Because he’s so small and socially trained he can go everywhere. I’ve taken him on road trips, boating, grocery store, holiday parties etc. All medical expenses are cheaper simply due to size. I love walking my dog and seeing how happy he gets. It’s like he’s going for his very first walk every time lol. Some people may look at the list above and think that’s a lot of time, money and effort. But for me it all brings me so much joy, fun memories. Unlike objects, the time and energy I put into having a happy, healthy dog actually fulfills me so much and the reward is having a great bond with one another. But some people just aren’t meant to be pet owners and don’t share the same experience and that’s okay too! Hope that gives a different perspective!

[@kathleenhill5838]
