HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED DURING A NO-BUY/ LOW BUY CHALLENGE | no buy/ low buy tips

[@jenniferfoggs]

9:00 - buying less we can afford to work less. That hit me like a tonne of bricks!

[@CatchyCravings]

yes!

[@lalahfresco2881]

My new year's resolution, no clothes and shoes this year. Been doing really great up until now, i decluttered my closet and sold a lot of pieces, now the urge to buy new clothes is strong becaue of the extra money. What helps is watching videos like yours in youtube.

[@CatchyCravings]

yes! how amazing! I do this too what I feel the urge to buy more stuff, I consume more minimalist content :D it helps!

[@Julie-si3hi]

Oh I hear you! I've had a major clear out...I do not need any more clothes or shoes!!

[@orysyaf8337]

What is your favorite place to sell your clothes? I'm having a hard time selling new with tags items.

[@hazeldavis3176]

Thank you so much for making this video. I feel soothed and empowered in my upcoming no-buy year. I think my personal issue (aside from snack food) is buying more yarn than I will use. Instead of focusing on the project I think 'oh I'll find a new one' then I am neck deep in things and overwhelmed. So not allowing myself to buy yarn really forces me to use what I have, which I'm looking forward to! Thanks again for the upload

[@doseofroxanneyt]

I'm going to do my first no-buy next month. I'm nervous but excited. I'm also gonna document whenever I get the "buy itch". I'm curious to find out what type of things they'll be. Thanks for the video!

[@CatchyCravings]

How exciting! You will learn so much about yourself! We are right there with you, you can do it 💪

[@chrsitineadriaenssen6074]

How can one live in such an awful home, depressing😊

[@chrsitineadriaenssen6074]

Learn to dress and make your home cosy

[@MissSadako666]

I just got laid off and I had a lot of impulsive purchases when I still had a job. Now that I’m unemployed I need to learn to do a no-buy monthly unless it’s necessities.

[@CatchyCravings]

I can definitly relate to this! Wishing you all the best!

[@p0t.n00dle4]

Think of it as buying back your time. Less spending means you have to work less.

[@CatchyCravings]

yes!! time is money and money is time ;)

[@tholm4307]

It’s true that things don’t make us the most happy but….I have special things that bring me immense joy just fewer of them. Great video with lots of food for thought thanks!!

[@CatchyCravings]

[@mayanneaves5736]

I have watched this several times. I love the content as I am new to the No Buy Challenge. I mean, truly amazing. You inspire me.

[@CatchyCravings]

thank you so much! I really do need my own reminders sometimes as well :D I'm doing another low buy this year ;) stay tuned!

[@victoria9663]

I've watched tons of these types of videos but your points struck me more strongly than any I'd watched before. Thank you!

[@CatchyCravings]

thank you so much!!

[@tamiurquizo746]

Thank you for the advice. I'm trying to do a low buy this year. I'm trying to focus on nor spending money every week.

[@CatchyCravings]

Yes, focusing on a little at a time is really helpful🔥

[@maiwurld2578]

I ahve 7 items on my shopping cart on Amazon,and thank God,its been there for a month now....did not hit the check out..saved me 700 dollars .

[@CatchyCravings]

haha amazing!

[@arjumandbano121]

i just came across your channel and it’s so so helpful !! thank you for this. i was feeling super overwhelmed by my clutter and your videos are really motivating !!

[@CatchyCravings]

I'm so glad! it's one step at a time that wins the race :)

[@nancyrussell5826]

1:20 AM It might not seem like I owe that much but it is such a struggle, knowing my brain isn’t functioning properly. The inner conflict is brutal! I am encouraged knowing I can have a low buy vs no buy. After two knee injuries I HAVE TO walk. That’s where the temptation comes in as I walk in stores. Yesterday I walked the 10 aisles of a store with no purchase but I planned to have a pumpkin spice latte and hot dog totaling $3.50. I felt successful. I had to remind myself I wasn’t there to shop.

[@CatchyCravings]

yes! how amazing!

[@stop08it]

I’m broke/low income in a time of high inflation and coupled with a budget with embedded financial goals it’s easy to stay motivated, basically have no choice

[@me4011]

Maybe works for you, I use credit card and others too ☹️, good job being disciplined

[@CatchyCravings]

I definitly relate to this. Basically forced minimalism :D

[@Tracer3]

Great Tips, Ty, I'm gona start slow, gona do a low-buy January, great tip about writing down your wins, gona do that. Tysm

[@CatchyCravings]

yes! January is the perfect time to start a challenge like this, I'm also doing a new low buy challenge this year, stay tuned ;)

[@Amyjwashere]

Doing a pantry challenge right now! Week one went great!

[@CatchyCravings]

amazing!!

[@grandadslifehacks8992]

I get tempted when I look at websites that go over testing of different clothing items and list the winners of the testing. So I think the best items are better than what I own and am tempted to buy.

[@CatchyCravings]

I totally understand. It is often through comparison that we see what we "lack". But we can reframe our mindeset and see all the amazing things we have as blessings! :)

[@pamelacooley6457]

Yep…staying away from stores,malls, any shopping places that are not related to grocery shopping.Definitely my weakness. Getting better. I’m doing a no buy this 2024 .Wish me luck 😅 I definitely don’t need anything…..I need to downsize. I have to much stuff

[@CatchyCravings]

yes! we can to this! I'm also doing a low-buy this year! stay tuned!

[@MrsUnderwriter]

I find it hard not to buy new cosmetics and care products. What I found out- I simply got bored by old ones and they still last.

[@CatchyCravings]

I totally relate to this! my rule is 1 in, 1 out. I can only buy something new, when I've used up the old. Believe me it's hard sometimes. Maybe try out new things with existing products, it gives it a fresh breath of air, like combining old clothes into new outfits. Incorporate your skincare into a new cozy routine :)

[@sylvia9290]

admire; don't aquire

[@CatchyCravings]

yes! something my mom also often said to me :)

[@mrssomeone2143]

I think my mantra, i don't need to buy trash. Hehehe

[@CatchyCravings]

:D

[@33Jenesis]

I have multiples of everything including craft items. I can go for 10 years without wearing out shoes, repeating outfits, tired of bags, or running out of craft supplies. This simple fact is really what I was horrified in realizing. I am keeping this in mind daily starting 2024. Really, there is no excuse to buy anything except grocery.

[@CatchyCravings]

yes! I love this! realizing it is the first step :)

[@МаринаМитрофанова-р6б]

It'nice lo listen for you. Thanks you. Have a nice day.🎉

[@CatchyCravings]

thank you for being here! :)

[@alejandrayogi]

I love this video! Thank you so much!

[@CatchyCravings]

[@JB-mm4jp]

So helpful

[@watchmethriving]

while I'm watching this I am making a list of things I can do with stuff I already have. I'll have the lists to refer to so I'll be less tempted to buy stuff when bored.

[@CatchyCravings]

yes!!! amazing!

[@myaccount9498]

Watch KZbin when u are bored!

[@chrsitineadriaenssen6074]

I hate cheap things, love spending😊

[@kimkirksey562]

Here January 2024...I'm here for a NO Buy...all categories...

[@CatchyCravings]

[@flyorraofficial]

Great video!

[@CatchyCravings]

[@abbywalkerfinds]

Great advice, and well done on the video. 🌟 Also, your celebrity look-alike is Dakota Johnson - you are gorgeous! ☺️

[@Kayla-n7l3d]

[@CatchyCravings]

[@Alienonearth287]

Its very simple,you don't have money you buy less,even nothing 😁😄

[@CatchyCravings]

yes!

[@Alienonearth287]

I admire you way of speak,you have so much right. In my country we are poor but we spent more than we are paid at work,we take money from banks then we work more for give back more money to the bank and so...,,here's the misery that got no ends ". If all the people listen what you say here...the word could be such a perfect place
