  When my blue jeans, black pants, jeans and tops get faded, I dye them to make them look brand new instead of buying new.

  Re: the boo basket. Two influencers I follow (who are not intentionally low-consumption influencers) wrapped their infant’s favorite items for his first Christmas stocking. They’re like “we already know he loves these things, so we know he’ll be thrilled to find them wrapped in tissue paper on Christmas.” Genius! Shoutout to Jessica and Claudia Kallgren-Fozard ❤

  The HP printer requires a subscription to print. It's ridiculous.

  I actually love going to Pinterest or Reddit to admire The Things. I have discovered that similar to the first one, I oftentimes just like the vibe and not the thing itself!

  I love knitting because it takes TIME, you really have to think about how badly you want a knitted garment because it doesn’t take two days. A sweater can take months to finish. And also you can’t doomscroll while you knit and get to choose the fiber content of the finished piece!

  The thing about the buffer is so important. I don&apos;t have my card number saved on any website or app, I always enter it manually and I already recommend people do that even just for security reasons, but an added benefit is that if getting up and getting your physical wallet sounds like a chore, that&apos;s a good indicator of how much the thing is actually worth to you.<br><br>(I actually also do something similar to the second girl- I give myself a little colored dot in a calendar I drew for every day I exercise, and if I get at least six dots for a week, at the end of it, I give myself a gold star. That&apos;s it. I just draw a gold star next to the week, and feel good about it, and if I don&apos;t get it, nothing happens. It sounds silly, but that&apos;s the way my motivation works, and if it looks stupid but it works, it&apos;s not stupid. 👍)

  I like seeing non aesthetic craft rooms because a lot of my storage solutions are free reused containers and yeah it gets messy when I’m in the middle of a craft, but I do need to spend some time doing an organizing reset every once in a while. Because it’s not an “ideal” craft room— doubles as an office and I don’t have space to see or reach everything easily sometimes these fancy craft rooms make me feel like I need to “upgrade” my storage when I really just need to spend an afternoon tidying

  I craft and my rule is my phone is off when I craft. Sometimes it&apos;s quiet, sometimes it&apos;s a TV show or a concert replay. Podcasts would work but sometimes there&apos;s a hidden &quot;something you need to buy&quot;

  I’m a crafter and had to unfollow all the craft channels as there was always something new , things I never touched. Now I’m using what I’ve got

  On the note of giving yourself a pause-<br><br>When I see something online that I want to buy, I screenshot it and put it in a folder titled &quot;want&quot;. I have yet to actually buy any of those things, and one item I actually found thrifting two months ago after it being in my folder for years. Sooo rewarding. It&apos;s also nice because if someone asks you what you want for your birthday, christmas, etc, you can browse through and find things that you have been wanting for a long time. Reduces the impulsive new purchases<br><br>I&apos;ve also found that there will occassionally be things I put in the folder, that with time I don&apos;t want or need anymore so I just delete the picture. Rather than being out the money and having to rehome the item!

  When I bought my roomba 4 years ago I realized that it wasn&apos;t wi-fi compatible so I couldn&apos;t program it to work at certain times of the day. I considered returning it for another one but then I thought about it like &quot;is pressing a button so inconvinient to take back the roomba to the store and spending extra to not doing it?&quot; So four years later I still have my roomba, it still works perfectly and the only &quot;cost&quot; is pressing the button for it to work

  Please make more content like this, I need more solutions to shopping addiction/ wastage/ or build better habit and discipline 🙏 because I know I have issues, I just don&apos;t know how to overcome it💀
