i am trying

to consume less. generally, buy less things. spend my allowance on things that meet certain criteria.

there are little treats that i don’t need to spend a long time considering, and here they are:

here are things i consider a little bit, that i perhaps pause before purchasing:

here are things i research before purchasing:

here are things i research before purchasing to the point of exhaustion and wondering if i even actually want the thing anymore:

here are things that are a hard no, no thank you, i have too much or am uninterested:

canvas tote bags
reusable drinkware
jeans
pants without elastic
clothes that are too short
polyester
disposable face masks (like, the beauty kind)
purses
jewelry
things with brand names on them
replacements for things that aren’t broken
seasonal decorations
cookbooks
getting my nails done at a salon
self-tanning
beanies
gadgets as a general idea, things that “solve” for a problem i don’t have
magazines
slippers
collections, e.g. stamps, coins, dvd, vhs, comic books, vinyl, pop figures, signed jerseys, minis
hobby things i know i’ll never pick up
outdoor furniture

Fine Day
