There is a group on Douban called "Don't Buy Consumerism Retrograde", and nearly 37w people have joined this group.
There are a lot of UUs to share, don't buy tips, anti-consumerism thinking, and avoid stepping on thunder sharing ......
I often visit this group, and I have learned a lot from it, and I have also summarized my own set of consumption concepts.
1) Know your own dressing style and reduce the failure rate of purchases.
Clothes that are not in their own style may be ** because they are fresh for a while.
But after buying it, it's easy to feel that you don't like it, it's not appropriate, and you don't wear it.
2) Don't buy more clothes and shoes than you need.
There are too many of them to wear, and there will inevitably be some clothes that will press the bottom of the box.
And when we throw clothes, we often have the emotional friction of "reluctance and guilt".
If you keep it and don't throw it away, and you take up space and don't know how to wear it, you have to spend time and energy to store and organize, which is also a kind of internal friction.
So, don't buy more clothes and shoes than you need to use them in the first place.
3) Don't buy any clothes that make you uncomfortable, there is a high probability that you will end up in the cold palace.
Go to the physical store to buy clothes, try them on, and walk a few more steps and make more big gestures without damaging the clothes.
For example, try on pants, squat down to see if they are too tight, and sit down to see if the hem is too short.
If it is an online purchase, it is recommended to return it if it is a little uncomfortable after wearing it.
Uncomfortable clothes that are easy to wear once or twice and then sit unused permanently.
4) Don't have the mentality that if you miss it, you won't be able to buy it.
I rarely buy clothes, shoes and bags at the original price, mainly because I don't think it's cost-effective.
Wait for an extra month or two, and many new products will be reduced in price, and it will be too fragrant to buy them at this time.
It is not excluded that in the process of waiting, some items may be sold out.
I think it's fate that hasn't arrived, so I'll keep waiting, and the next one I'll like is probably not far away.
Now the production of clothes, shoes and bags is updated very quickly, and there is no need to worry about missing this village and not having that store.
5) Insisting on going to bed early is the best skincare product.
In fact, going to bed early will not only get better, but also have many hidden benefits.
For example, your mental state will improve, and you don't need to rely on coffee to survive.
The mood will also become more positive, and the cravings for sweets will decrease.
The desire to consume at night is the strongest, and going to bed early and putting down the phone early can also reduce impulsive spending.
Going to bed early can also repair the tired body ...... after a busy day
Each of these benefits can save a lot of money.
6) Don't stock up on skincare products, and don't overstock on daily necessities.
It seems cheap to buy a lot at once, but the storage cost is also very high, and you have to store and organize.
Because we buy more, we will unconsciously use more when we use it, saving some money and wasting it.
It's completely too late to buy it when it's almost used up, not to mention that the logistics are so fast now.
7) Don't buy things that you want to order on the spur of the moment.
Many of the things that I want to buy on the spur of the moment are impulsive.
It is recommended to add the things you like and need to your shopping cart or write them into your shopping list.
Calm down before making a decision.
8) Don't look at the money you save with discounts, look at the money you actually spend.
If you don't buy it, you will save 100%.
9) The value of people does not lie in consumption.
Through objects, we may be able to gain a few minutes of confidence and praise from the outside world.
But what really shows value is who we are, how rich our brains are, how broad our knowledge is, how interesting our souls are, and so on.
10) The best way to reward yourself is to save money.
When you encounter difficulties, physical exhaustion, and risks, only money is the best use.
Everything else is puffy clouds.
