I go to the grocery store every couple days and buy what is BOGO. I work around that to plan meals. If I buy something full price I have to really need it, or I’ll wait until that item is BOGO.
I buy new clothes only when I really need them. You can find really nice, designer clothes on sale so cheap sometimes. I just bought a bunch of Free People items for $10-25 per item from $80-150. Crazy sales sometimes.
After 25 years married we have accumulated way too much stuff. So nothing else is coming into the house. There is no room. We need to sell or donate stuff as there is now a bedroom piled up like a storage unit and I just closed the door. Can’t deal with it.
A smaller house is a good idea to keep possessions from expanding. We don’t use all that stuff and it is only something to have to clean. This makes me so nervous!
You’d be surprised how little you need and use.
