Question

I used to list things i need/want to buy, until recently my sister introduced me to The Budget Mom, (we watched/read together even if we are miles apart, share how to incorporate what we learn into our lives, ) today i have written down what i DO NOT need nor want to buy in the near future (6 or 7 months), and here’s what goes in my list: (please understand that before my sister shared me TBM, i was into couponing) 1. Detergent 2. Shampoo 3. Dishwashing liquid 4. Bathroom tissue 5. Paper towel 6. Swifter duster and mop 7. Conditioner 8. Fabric softener 9. Dishwashing sponges 10. Diswasher pods 11. Handsoap 12. Body wash 13. Deodorant (for me at least, my son might need one) 14. Facial products (wash, moisturizer, makeup, lipstick etc., ) 15. School supplies 16. Towels, blankets, sheets What will be in your NOT TO BUY list?  

Answer 1

Scentsy, 31, color street any other direct sales companies.  

Answer 2

Candles lol otherwise I’m going to refrain from clothes/shoe shopping for March for myself, husband said he won’t go to Home Depot to browse lol and together we are not eating out unless it’s certain dates this month we already had budgeted and scheduled. I do however miss couponing lol  I think it took us almost 3 years to get through my stockpile.

@impressionist I debate doing it again or not. I wasn’t working when I was couponing so I had the time to chase down stuff. Plus my insert fairy is no more and I’m not up to date anymore on where to purchase ya know

@impressionist I did as well! I know most of that group also all stopped couponing so it’s been dead for awhile. If I get back into it I’ll look up some other Chicago ones.  

Answer 3

Mine is I will not buy just to buy I will purchase to replace only what is needed. I have a back stock of random skin care needs that I will work thru first.  

Answer 4

"crap from target" I think that's where I'm at ‍♀️‍♀️

Answer 5

Everything except food & household necessities.  

Answer 6

Toothbrushes, dishwasher pods, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, fabric softener and dryer sheets. I have 3+ months worth of each.  

Answer 7

Make up. ‍♀️ I over indulged like all of the last 18 months or so. (Pregnant/post partum/breastfeeding. but make up always fits! )

Answer 8

Office supplies, glass wear, buying those things fulfills something that just makes me happy, I have my goals to be debt free within 10 years, so I can live the life I want, lets make this happen.
