10 Things I NO LONGER Buy! | Clever Girl Finance 

Some people would usually tell me I am cheap but I don't care because I always know the value of money. I rather use my money on traveling or investments

This video made me think about my love for markers ✍🏾. Not ready to stop buying them though… but I have stopped buying: 1. Designer Purses 👜 2. Clearance Clothing I never end up wearing 3. Fancy Hats 4. Suits 5. New models of cutting machines when the new one works just fine 6. Off brand hand sanitizers 7. New Hair products 8. Unnecessary makeup 9. Uncomfortable shoes 10. Kitchen gadgets

Insightful indeed... ● It has been almost 10 years no longer buying fast food like KFC and Mc Donald... ● I have cut on buying red meat... it has saved me money ● I used to be obsessed buying different brands of hair sprays... I only buy one which lasts me a long time ● I no longer buy different brands of body lotions... one is enough ● I am slowly getting out of the habit of buying mugs... it's a serious obsession 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Beautiful and insightful video , I am on this table and it took me being unemployed to become intentional with my spending

I no longer buy: -« trendy » clothes. I keep it way more basic to make things last longer - nail polish - manicures - spray tans - random vegetables I don’t know how to cook - Ebooks- i get them free from the library online, it’s just as easy

In today's video, I'm sharing a list of things I no longer buy! A lot of these things I no longer buy are tied to money mistakes BUT the great thing about money mistakes is that you live and you LEARN. What do you no longer buy?! Leave a comment below!

Minimalism in terms of what it means to me...how true. It is different for different people. Minimalism doesn't mean you have cut on everything. It also means that you do conscious shopping and retention of things

I think the skincare and coffee hit home for me. I wish I saw this before black friday shopping.

I no longer buy hair products. I'm natural and there is always a new brand of natural hair products coming out like every month and I used to buy it and now I have 3 medium size boxes full ( and I mean full to the top of the box) of hair products. My mom saw these boxes of hair products and she said, " how many hair products do you need, you only have one head". lol! She's right. So told myself that I will not buy another hair product until I finish all the hair products in these boxes.

Lol omg I relate to this sooooooo much! From heels, to PENS!!!!! LOL the coffee! The note books! You just got a new subscriber girl!!!

I really like this video. I hope you do another one like it. I kept my last phone so long it began to act possessed doing things I didn't select.

Your points are so valid. Shoes especially and cellphones

Definitely agree with not buying a phone until it stops working. Had my last phone for 8 years before it broke. I was gutted when I had to spend money to buy a new one lol 🙈

I don't buy trash bags😂. I don't produce a lot of trash and find the smaller shopping bags you get from Target or Walmart work well for me. I also don't spend money at the nail salon, there are cheap nail kits you can get off Amazon that will make your hands look just as good! I don't buy paper towels anymore either.

What a brilliant video..I relate with most of the things mentioned.. we tend to unconsciously buy unnecessary things just because its cheap or we think we may use it. I carry my own shopping bags and don't go to the store unless its really necessary.

This video AND the AMAZING comments !!! Thank you all for sharing!!! Y’all for me…. -reusable bags…( because I forget to bring the ones I’ve previously bought😑) -stuff for my alter… ( need to smudge and lovingly give away the stuff that doesn’t resonate with me BEFORE buying/adding something new)… -hair products…(I can honestly say I have made a conscious effort and do not buy the extras to try… I stick with what works! -journals and self help books… before I pick up that cute new sparkly journal or ya know the one with all the inspirational quotes… I think about the whole bottom row of journals in my book case…it’s time to write that memoir, Chile! -tarot cards/Angel cards… yes I do readings and Honey, there is ALWAYS a new deck out!!! I started selling gently used decks… because sometimes you think you are attracted to a deck but then it takes awhile to connect with it… I have my go to decks I have bonded with and a few others… but just like any type of relationship I’m not gonna force it… Heeyy….anyone into animal tarot? Gotta deck for you!😉 -markers and colored pencils…. Chile… all the neighborhood kids can just stop by and pick up a set for the up coming school year… and I’ll probably be left with the 1 marker set and 1 colored pencil set I need. Lol - throw blankets… 😑 … worked on that one… - Guy “friends”…. Oooo… no she didn’t 🤓…this comment is not for this video huh?!… ok moving on -accessories…. Uh yup -makeup/lil storage bags… that have cute sayings on them like “flawless” or ya know what I mean, Chile Ok loosing steam… there are probably more things I can not buy anymore but this moment with this video, comments and me adding my own excerpt from my future memoir… was cathartic 💚

Yall I hardly buy anything lol who knew I could really live on less and the basics lol. I've saved so much money.

I don't buy most of those things but I LOVE notebooks. I have started using them now. As a creative I recover my generic and promotional notebooks and use them as morning pages journal (an Artist Way practice). The pandemic has changed my shopping habits. I have not bought any shoes in two years! Now I wear a lot of the clothes I can't part with that I wouldn't want to wear in public. A beautiful shirt that is too big, comfy pants t hat don't flatter my thighs.. For bargain hunters the best advice I got was don't buy it on sale if you wouldn't want it (not buy it) at full price.

Love this. I used to be nail polish junkie once upon a time but I did use it often but still I had way too many for one person

Things I buy but have decreased - I make it a point to first finish the products I have instead of stocking during random purchases n sale...skincare n makeup -I use mobile note pad to scribble stuff...hence saving paper n trash waste n plastic pen waste for non official things - I have stopped watching television dramas that only talk about negativity, ditching, betrayal, non constructive stuff - Instead of pointy heels, I opt for flat heels....gives me the height & gives me less pain - decreased nailpolish buys drastically

I feel like this video summarizes me how are we so different but behave the same all that is me girl, thumbs up for being economical and logical

I am with you girl, i did the stop buying about eight years ago 😊

I subscribed straight away as I heard you mention twins. Am a mother of twins too

So true...I am also going to cut down on hair products and clothes in general...I only need shampoo, conditioner, and styling product...As far as clothes are concerned, I basically rotate about 10 items...some things I haven't worn in years...

Preach sis! Greetings from New jersey!

I am happy I subscribed to this channel.👍👍

Glad to see I am not the only pen and notebook hoarder. 🤣

Thank you Clever Girl Finance

Same with the nail polish. I have a dusty 100 bottle collection that I never use. 🤦‍♀️

All of the above, actually 9. I never do the phones. Those ppl are too Rich, for me to be giving them my pennies.👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

Can you please post a video on your skincare routine?

My first time here🙂 I agree with most items on your list. I have given out all my heeled shoes! I found out about Swedish Clogs thankfully. I also do sneakers. 2: I have stopped making expensive customized clothes (from Nigeria) which I hardly wear here in the States (except for a few Nigerian events which like most things, took a blow from Covid). I am stuck with suitcases of clothes I am not wearing & except for Goodwill, I have no where else to dump them. 3.Nail polish 4. Unopened Mac powders that expires on me 5. Face moisturizers I use only once. I am on chapter one of my minimalist journey. Thanks again for your insight. Subscribed😍

The shoes … I need to get rid of my shoes.. it’s a huge problem. Pens… journals.. obsessed!

Loved this.

Just discovered your channel! And I love you sooo much!

Do I used to buy lots of makeup and plenty nailpolish too. Especially after Christmas... and shoes and cocktail dresses... whenever I crossed into the USA I would hoard coz they're cheaper there. Notebooks and pens..being a nurse, I still buy but in moderation. Pandemic changed a lot in me...lol🤣🤣

It best to just buy what you only need... it held you save money

Hahaha oh my, that stationery !sheepishly raising my paw :-D

Not only do I use my phone till it does to been I'll take my husband old phone or my kids old phone I hate waisting mom berry on phones if I have an alternative

I am guilty for the face masks but now I only buy them when I am preparing for a trip to pamper myself before or during the trip. I am also guilty about the stationary and notebooks. I am also a book buying addict. So will be reconsidering these items. Haha, I like the special message for Apple.

Alright I feel you my sister new subbie returning ❤️💯👛👜 I love it

The Most Captivating voice 💖💖💖

I'm a high heels lady but since I become pregnant I only use sneakers

Helpful tips.

c'est très utile 💟

I stopped buying 1. Tv subscription 2. Fancy shoes 3. 'hair growth products'

Awesome!

Being a shoe; dresses and pen junkie contributed to my brokeness and I regret my financial situation at the moment. I need a saviour

Wow , I agree watching and listening yo the video , I am 51 , I don't buy _ , , _

Nail polish

No high heels for me, anymore!

I just came across your channel and I must say your tips are very helpful. Thank you 😊

I need to STOP buying costume jewellery....whaaaaat!!! Oti kpo ju

great ladies

Just like me I don't buy things because people are buying them, if is not necessary I don't buy

Amen with the cell phone!! I have been holding off buying a phone until my phone doesn’t work anymore 🤣

I no longer buy anything that’s on sale bcause it’s on sale !!! … especially clothes and shoes!!! I cleaned out my closet n became a minimalist and started buying quality pieces !

High heels that are pretty but not functional... That growth for me too came after having kids 😂

I no longer buy hair weaves

Skin care products waste money if you want to try everything. I had to discipline myself to stop buying everything I see for skin care😅

TLDW: 1. Nail polish 2. Coffee to go 3. Face masks 4. Magazines 5. Random skin care 6. Uncomfy shoes 7. Pens and stationary 8. Notebooks 9. Latest cellphone 10. Cocktail dresses

I don’t buy scarves anymore, I used to buy so many but i don’t wear them anymore. Skincare is still an issue for me because I get bored of the same products/scents.

I stopped buying high heels around 2 years ago. I just couldn’t take the pain. I still have about 50 pairs to sell with some not even used. I’m going to do a no buy year with clothes this year. I have so many because I worked in a popular high street store for over 10 years and used to get a 60% discount. Last year made me put things into perspective and made me realise I need to save more for my future.

OMG! I had to stop myself from buying extra pens and notebooks/journals, too. They just make me feel so together and organized. Lol...I am not buying more until I use the ones I have. Glad to know I'm not alone!

I related to this video so much! 😅 The 10 things I no longer buy are: 1. Nail polish 2. Journals 3. Natural hair products 4. Hair pins 4. Bracelets 5. Face scrubs 6. Face serums 7. Perfumes 8. Scarves 9. Short skirts 10. Rings

I no longer buy bottled water(my filter is good enough for me), I no longer buy plastic bags (I recycle the ones I get from the groceries). And since I'm going natural I stop buying a whole lot of products as I love to make my own from home naturally.

Mines would have to be: Food on the go Clothes that I won't wear Too many hair products Random things I wont use like hair clips Coffee mugs Car washes when I can do it myself Too many useless office supplies So many candles Plants Alot of produce at once

* Fast food *Bath and Body works *Anything that look nice off Amazon * Pens * Nail polish * Braids cost to much learn from RU-vid universe * pedicure learned from RU-vid universe * eyebrows * lashes

I must be in the clear, I don't buy all the things mentioned in the video. But what I no longer buy..... perfumes upon perfumes. 1 or 2 max.

Honeyyyyy, you are so right about those cute, uncomfortable shoes! I totally agree; happy feet, happy girl!

I no longer buy “Aso-ebi” such a waste of money

I've become so cheap,I literally stay away from the malls I'm only bothered about improving my nutrition.

I no longer buy things I already have because I have no space for them... like clothes, shoes, hair products, lotions, nail polish, handbags, purses, ... I have enough of them all. If I am invited out I'll choose what I already have and use what I have until its don't (hair care)

i saw the pens sitting on the shelf behind this lady and thought "I like her, we have something in common." Interesting content UNTIL she announced "pens" and then slammed me with "notebooks." I have enough for an entire elementary school district (if they still use them.) I think the first step to remedy this situation is to subscribe.

HEELS >I have so many heels SMH.. I wouldn't buy uncomfortable ones but, going to work and my hubbs and I did alot of social things..but I started working remotely before Covid and we stopped going out like that..so I now have shelvesssssss of heels🙄 NAILPOLISH > the same story...but like you when I got my nails done I chose the same 2 colors : OPI Lincoln Park after Dark or Midnight in Moscow STATIONARY > Why O Why ??? I have started using my old outdated calendars as around the house scrap paper. MAKEUP > GIRLLLLLLL I have enough makeup for 20 faces... if I add up the cost I'd be a millionaire 🤯🤯🤯but again I started working remotely a year before Covid..and then Covid...so in 2 years I think I had a full face of makeup on maybe 10 times....I CAN'T !!!!

My list 📍Nail Polish 📍Hair Products 📍Earrings 📍Shoes 📍Bags 📍Clothes 📍Makeup 📍Skincare Products 📍Taxi 📍Junk Food

Yes. Love this video. I no longer buy fast food. I No longer buy high heeled shoes. I no longer buy real name brand purses. I no longer get credit cards... on debt free lifestyle.

I no longer buy an outfit just because I’m going out. LOL, when Tiffany Haddish wore that white outfit 2-3 times, I was like - umm let me stop my madness too! And I’m NOT on the red carpet! 2. A new coat every year OMG I find thee most adorable coats - short, long, wool, cashmere, leather, fur, so many colors & patterns - WOOSAH! 3. a new bag EVERY year (lol you got to match the coat right?!) 4. the latest greatest LIPSTICKS in ALL my shades that look cute 5. basic restaurant food 6. Yankee Candles - I buy my fav oils & wax melts instead & refresh the wax w/the oil 7. top shelf liquor/food/gifts outside my home or close friends (sorry colleagues, not!) 8. cable (years in, I stream everything lol before it was popular) 9. Apple accessories 10. A new car every 3-4 years (this is huge! I literally had a new car every major model redesign)

No joke .. getting older, I buy less shoes but more bras. I buy less fast food but more food to cook at home I buy less sweet drinks but drink more instant coffee and tea at home I buy way less chemical cleaning products and use more vinegar for cleaning and make a few cleaners from vinegar. Buy hardly no deli meats and cook more beans and rice dishes. Use online cooking recipies, newspapers and music sites.

No new phone till your phone dies it splits in two? And 😂😂 that got me laughing so hard. I'm done buying clothes I can't wear to work. Now I'm faced with giving away clothes shoes and bags to the welfare department of the church. I'm done with any shoes that's more than 2inches heels. And it has to be block heels!

I bought one pair of Louboutins and honestly, I will never ever buy another pair. It's such a waste of money! I love the fact that poorly fitting shoes made your list! Also, I haven't bought a pen in over a decade! LOL! I get them for free all over the place so it doesn't even make sense, lol!

All of these I not longer buy. Another things for me is craft supplies, plants, home decorations, vitamins and miracle supplements, clothes. This happened after having my son, 3 years ago... I need to work on my food decisions though, I am strugling with food waste. I try hard to meal plan and a grocery shopping list, but with a picky toddler and husband, sometimes I cannot finish the healthy stuf by myself.

I love notebooks but it's because I like to Script when I'm manifesting or I'll do regular journaling. Yeah I will use my phone until it's on it's last leg. I no-longer buy anything that a Kardashian is promoting. No shade, but they would promote really unhealthy stuff and I'm literally depleting my funds and then later realizing that they use filters, plastic surgery, and editing programs to look that away. I no longer have auto-fill subscriptions. Sometimes you want to save money if something you purchased is on auto-fill, so you do it then you realize you don't use it that often and the auto-fill keeps coming out now you have an over abundance of said product and very little in the bank. I no longer pay for gym memberships. Since COVID I have a lot of weights, so I replaced the Gym Membership with Beach Body on Demand.

Coffee, I bought a $20 Coffee maker from Walmart. I buy creamer and whipped cream from the grocery store 😋

Shoes. Yes. My lower back has let me know uncomfortable shoes are no longer to be. Thank you for opening my eyes to letting go of all the nail polishes! I hadn’t considered until today but you are SO right. Thank you!

We have so many "no longer but" things in common! I also no longer buy pantyhose (just tights for me), fancy department store perfumes and necklaces/bracelets/rings.

Just bought some super high heel boots for the first time, never again.

For me it's the gym. Sometimes months of paying without going . I need to know what really works for me. I have stopped many that you have mentioned . My phone is S9 samsung galaxy!!!working perfectly 👌

1:nail polish 2:face mask 3:coffee 4:magazine 5:skincare products just to try it out 6:uncomfortable shoes 7:pens and stationery 8:note books 9:latest cellphone 10:cocktail dresses

I no longer buy some house hold items, I buy the ingredients and make by myself which safe cost and are also effective, examples are; dish washing liquid, bathing soap, ice cream, snacks, my clothes.

Agree! Coffee out is a waste of change. You have probably helped thousands IF they listen to your wisdom. Common sense ideas helps us ALL.

I no longer buy cheap jewelry, random perfume, trendy clothes ( I love t-shirts ), and heels.

I no longer buy…designer handbags, an extra pair of shoes that I love, bottled water, anything in a plastic bottle if I can get a refil without the plastic, beauty products, expensive hair products, jewelry, excessive amounts of clothes, subscriptions, fast food and dining out, frozen foods, I’m sure there’s more but…here ya go.

Thank you thank you. I can so relate. Way too much of every thing. A bunch of books that I am still hoping to read. I am now 65

My things I will no longer be buying are: 1) pens 2) notebooks 3) fabric 4) craft items 5) kitchen gadgets 6) more journals 7) books I got a library card, will journal until the book is filled and not buy another cause it’s cute. And no more pens and notebooks 🥺

"I use my phone until it stops working." lol. That was funny.

I still have I phone 📱 5se working condition. Guilty of cosmetics. It is an area I need to work on.

Your skin is sooo gorgeous! I can see why you don't need to try out a bunch of different skincare anymore. I'm definitely with you on that as well!

Lol, we are twins..notebooks and pens are my thing...I love Sephora...but I also wait until my phone is like dead before I upgrade.

I do not buy cheap stuff. Heels The latest anything. Crap I won't use. I don't shop just to shop. I don't cake tons of makeup on every day. I don't bother with fast fashion Junk food.well,not often Eating out. Alcohol Tobacco Drugs other than what is absolutely needed. Clubs Bars Concerts Spots events Crowds.nope. I don't need any of that junk
