Things Some People No Longer Buy

There are some interesting You Tube videos where people talk about things they have stopped buying. They are talking about stuff they once spent money on but don't now, not items they have never bought. Not buying certain things may be out of concern for the environment, to improve their health, or to save money or adopt a minimalist lifestyle. There may be another reason or a combination of reasons. Many state they are not saying it's wrong to buy these things, just that they don’t any more.

Things some people say they are no longer buying






I find these videos interesting, both in terms of what people no longer feel they need (and why) and what some people have been in the habit of spending big money on. After thinking about this topic, I made up my own list.
Things I No Longer Buy

Buying less may be about saving money or something else. It seems to me more people question if it is ethical to buy certain items than in the past. More are thinking about their health or the example they are setting their children. For others the motivation to buy less or to avoid purchasing specific items may be the influence of friends, a group they are part of or a trend they have heard about. And some simply can't afford anything beyond the essentials of life.
