Several
years ago I wrote a few posts listing all of the things I don’t spend my hard
earned cash on. I thought it would be
good for me to review those and see what, if anything, has changed after all
these years. Well, guess what? With one notable exception, I no longer have
to pay for childcare as I stated in my first post on the subject, those lists
still hold true. I still don’t spend my
money on those things. And I don’t feel
like I’m missing out on anything either.

too would like a quick trip down memory lane:
What
are some things you refuse to spend your hard earned $$ on?
We buy garbage bags, & frozen pizza & several other things on the list. But, we avoid a lot of things as well.
ReplyDeleteFor us, keeping a few frozen pizzas at hand for a quick meal is a lot cheaper than takeout or delivery. We also have a Costco membership, at least while the kids are at home.
I don't buy enough at Costco to justify the expense of a membership, but I sure loved shopping there when I did. They have wonderful things.
DeleteI’m guilty as charged🥲
ReplyDeleteIt is all good missie! LOL
DeleteI don't buy: garbage bags, disposable eating stuff (paper plates, bowls, utensils, plastic glasses etc), food in a box or bag is very rare, prepared foods from the freezer section, cleaning product of any kind (I clean with baking soda and vinegar), fabric softener/dryer sheets.
ReplyDeleteCheap shoes? Never. I made my living on my feet in the OR and they were long days.
Clothes: I buy undergarments new and jeans new (at Costco under $20). If I identify another need, I hit thrift stores first.
I'm sure there is more but because I don't shop for stuff I really don't know what else folks buy. Honestly, I see the ad circulars and wonder what people do with all this stuff........
You do very well. We bought a box of kitchen bags a couple years ago for special projects/needs, but we definitely don't use them often. That box may last me the rest of my life! LOL
DeletePaper products certainly have their place, don't they? I agree with your logic.
