I know this is obvious, but I saw someone online say use up your items and it hit home
I am working on being more frugal and minimizing waste, and this woman on YouTube talked about how she purposely uses up her items before she replaces it.
And I know that’s obvious but the example she gave I really needed to hear:
She held up her shampoo and said that she didn’t like it, but she is going to use it anyway until it’s done. Then she will buy another one.
I am so used to using “not liking X” as an excuse to replace something that I end up having an excess of toiletries.
Even today I had the thought that I needed to buy a lint roller, because I only had a mini one that I bought for on the go. I realized I need to use what I have before I buy another one. So I used it.
Again I know that’s sounds simple but for me it’s like I really get it now. #finance
