Well said! I am so close to finishing out no-buy stationery for January 2024. 🎉 I completely agree with reframing the challenge as having enough/being at peace/feeling burdened with too much, rather than a punishment. I also 100% agree that our consumable items take time to use up! I intend to do this once a quarter to reset. It's been good for me ☺️

Doing a no-buy can be such a good mental reset. Congrats on nearly finishing! 💕

Buying a limited intentional amount of stuff makes shopping feel joyful. I think it also makes us attentive to the stuff we get & put them to good use. I agree that using takes a while. My stash is small but it was used rarely and not enough & I can't in good faith justify bringing new stock while mine can last me my lifetime theoretically because of my infrequent use heh

Haha I feel the same! I have enough stationery for the rest of my life. It's daunting to think about, but maybe the upside is I'll never have to worry about buying anything again lol.

This is great! I did a no buy last year with you, and will continue to do so this year too. It was so freeing and took a lot of stress away. Now, I did allow myself to buy Halloween stationary releases because I use them year round, but I bought only what I knew I’d use. It’s really freeing. I know what I use now, and don’t feel guilt or stress for my hobby. I have more money to give to small businesses too, so when I replace what I’ve run out of I can buy from them.

I feel the same! Going on a low-buy has been so freeing. I'm planning to continue as well! I feel like at this point, it's just normal for me now. 💕

You have inspired me to go through my stash. I also have a lot of notebooks that have not been used. I am currently going through them and have an extra bag where I put the things I have used up in it. It feels so awesome to do. Thank you!

I am proud to say that I have not brought stationary for February! Fingers crossed it stays that way.@@spellboundnotes

hello, I started 2022 with a no-buy low-buy trip. and certainly with every year the desire to buy canors is decreasing. I had so much at that time that I still haven't finished it yet. Sometimes I buy something I didn't really need, but it's really fun to use what I already have. The most difficult for me is before the beginning of school when everything is so beautiful and I want almost everything. the first year was the hardest. and now I can just pass by the island and stop only when I know it is necessary.

I still have so much to finish too! At this rate, I probably won't need to buy anything again. 😅 I feel the same, it does get easier over time.
