Items I No Longer Buy That Has Saved Me So Much Money.
In todays world we are encouraged to consume more and more. However, as I have adopted a simple living and minimalist lifestyle, I've come to find that a lot of items I was spending my money on weren't actually worth it. I had to be more selective with what I was buying since I was in a smaller space and had to declutter a lot of things I realised I actually didn't need.
This was so difficult for me to do at the start given we are constantly bombarded with advertisement and told we are always needing to buy the latest/newest thing.
However, in this video I wanted to share some really simple money saving habits and hacks that helped me to save so much money by no longer wasting my money on these specific items, that I hope can help you to save more, live more frugally and not waste your money.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and please like, share and subscribe if you haven't already!
Wishing you a peaceful and happy day wherever you are!

I must admit I have unsubscribed from some people I used to follow on RU-vid. The constant come shopping with me and the ‘hauls’ just don’t resonate with me, and actually they get quite boring. So thank you for talking about the things we don’t need, much more to my liking. I have often thought if you have a good diet (which I don’t🥴) then surely you don’t need supplements. I just feel it’s all part of today’s wanting things to happen quickly, with minimum effort. Thank you for sharing your experience of walking another path, which resonates with this little community you’re building❤

I am on this journey as well. Instead of youtube, I write and blog about simpler living and decluttering. Too nervous to be on camera so I appreciate you sharing and speaking so eloquently about your experience and your journey.

Sounds great I love that! Thank you for your lovely comment! You never know one day you could be sharing your experiences on here too!☺️ Wishing you luck with your minimalist journey😊

I bought a glass jug, a charcoal stick which purifies the water and then fill my 1L bottle, daily which I take everwhere. Never bought a bottle again. In my rucksack I have hand sanitiser, pack of tissues etc. Always prepared when out and about. My book, journal and pen too. Just little things to increase independence.

Holly you’re so funny & so so smart…the queen of Tupperware & how your mom said you were the consumer….but you are right about all of it …just this last couple of years I’ve seen things here in Florida double and triple & quadruple it’s actually ridiculous to have budgeted the budget a dozen times…well during this process I really found I was spending money on stuff I really don’t need & all that little stuff really adds up…Holly I believe there was a time when the angels had asked God what should we do ? it looks so gloomy there and the people look sad and unmotivated…And God said oh no worries I have just the thing to fix that problem! I will send my beautiful little Holly to earth she can brighten up a whole world with just one smile…✨✨

Thank you for sharing this, your circumstances sound great and you’ve really embraced the concept of a simple life!☺️ I really like what you stand for and agree with a lot of your mindset! Ideally I’d like to simplify my life even more but these things take time and we’re heading in the right direction😃 Best of luck with your minimalist journey and greetings to the south of France!☺️☀️

Sometimes I feel like possessions can themselves be an experience and experiences can be collected like they were possessions. Experiences allow us to learn about the world around us. Another good video with unique insights.

@lagomholly 8 месяцев назад

I agree with you there and often a possession can bring back the nostalgia and memories we had when we purchased or first ascertained that item! In that sense the two are intertwined, but the joy associated with memories will never fade and that’s what’s the most valuable in my eyes☺️

Your holistic and natural approach resonates with me. The promises made by protein powders are so exaggerated!! Nothing can replace the benefits of a healthy, natural and balanced diet. I ll suggest you try a copper bottle for intaking water atleast once a day (not everytime). It has long term benefits.

@lagomholly 8 месяцев назад

Nature will always have an abundance of answers from my experience😊 I’m so glad to hear you resonate with my mindset too! I will have to give copper water bottles a little research as I’ve never heard about that before🤷‍♀️ Thank you for watching!😃

Great job, Holly! Nice video! ... You know, I no longer buy aftershave products; I just use cold tap water. It turned out that I couldn't tell the difference. Btw. I don't know why RU-vid gave me an ad before your video called 'Gratitude Series'! Greetings to the UK!

Hi! Thank you for all your lovely content. I was wondering if you have a link to your Coffee machine. It looks so good the coffee😊. Love from the netherlands 🙃

@lagomholly 8 месяцев назад

Thank you! The model is called the Delonghi ECAM35015B Dinamica Bean-to-Cup Espresso/Cappucino Maker. I’m not sure whether the link will work for you in the Netherlands but there are other similar models with mine being a couple of years old now!☕️ I know the Delonghi Magnifica S ECAM250.33.TB is very similar and possibly the updated version🤷‍♀️ Hopefully they’re available where you are!🤞 Best wishes to the Netherlands☺️

Hey Susan! I totally agree coffee is my weakness!!😆 The one I have is a couple of years old now the D’Longhi but they have an updated model called the ‘Magnifica’ which is very close to mine and the bean to cup😊 I hope that helps!🫶

@Shashwat_1729 8 месяцев назад

Sorry for distracting you from the topic of the video. I have a query, which I think you can answer well. I am facing a dilemma. Reading/watching mainstream news makes my mind stressed as there is a lot of coverage about war/violence all around and this harms my efficiency. On the other hand, avoiding news, makes me feel isolated and uninformed. How to remain informed without getting stressed by the news content?

@lagomholly 8 месяцев назад

No problem at all! I have very much been in those shoes and have found a happy medium (I would hope). Personally I would strongly advise against checking the news first thing in the morning, it just made me feel really pessimistic and I would carry that attitude throughout the day. So now I just check the news or have it on tv at lunchtime during my break just to get the headlines and be informed but not in too much depth I feel overwhelmed. Also just be aware the media want to scare us to a degree to keep us watching, so little doses now and again is fine but the other content I consume is mostly optimistic (like RU-vid podcasts) to balance things. The world is in a very sad state at the moment so any positive news (which there are platforms for too) is what I try and consume the most! Hope that helps and don’t be too hard on yourself😊

I try to never watch the news at night especially right before bed just check out news ever y once in awhile also I use the stories as a bridge to pray 🙏 for the situation I probably have more time them most as I am retired and rather home bound
