Attempted a #NoBuy February.
Did okay.
Had to restock the fresh foods on the 20th.
And then today - 10kg of flour on sale $11.99 - wasn't going to miss that.
The big bonus is cutting down on shopping trips, detest shopping, except food shopping. Ideal from my pov.
The only problem, an ever increasing shopping list of things on the wish list. None of which turned out to be necessary.

I love watching vids about building PCs but pc bros are constantly promoting JK Rowling's terrible game like it's worth any hype. I wouldn't even pirate that shit. Don't buy games that benefit bigots

Finished my spiderweb pillow! The fabric is a sensory nightmare but it looks good. Very proud that I did not buy Halloween themed fabric. #nobuy #halloween #sewing

collectively insist on real REBELLION (reminder: rebellion is NOT ‘revolution’) and start demanding our civilian and military leaders, pundits, celebrities, and other influencers start calling for it openly, forcefully, and constantly.

We must do what South Korea, and a few others once did and rise up and bring this ation to a halt. No, not just our government. That’s already on life support.

We have to shut down PROFITS! We need rotating daily actions like “#nobuy” days designed to …

Something I appreciate about #bifl or #buyforlife mentality, is that "shopping" has a certain background anxiety in it which became obvious only after becoming a much calmer person.

There is anxiety motivating one to buy products, anxiety motivating one to not buy in case of regret, anxiety about finding the perfect product, sustainability anxiety etc.

Being less dependent on stuff and buying stuff that lasts means the less I have to go through the grind of shopping again.

Well, saving money is a good reason for #NoBuy practices. But even better -- keeping things out of the landfills! This is a trend we ALL need to see more of! For whatever reason one chooses not to buy, I'm glad to see it catching on!

How the '#NoBuy2025' trend could help you get your budget on track this year

Ivana Pino, July 21, 2025

Excerpt: "Many of those who take on the challenge start by creating a list of rules for themselves that align with their lifestyles. This could include hard rules such as 'no new clothes whatsoever' or 'no new technology,' as well as rules that limit the frequency of certain purchases, such as 'yes to takeout once per month' or 'yes to one nail appointment every two weeks.'

"Others have posted online about having a 'low buy' year, which means they’re limiting the amount of purchases they’re making, rather than cutting out non-essential spending altogether."
