I did a no buy for like 8-9 months last year and it was the best thing I ever did! Now as of sept 1,2021 I’m doing a 5 year no buy. For 5 years I won’t buy anything. My plan is to save 800 a month and by the 5 years I’ll have 50,000 dollars. 800 times 12 is almost 10,000 and if I do that for 5 years I’ll have 50,000 dollars. :)

I had a no buy year in 2018. Halfway down the year I got divorced. I bought myself a new place. It felt quite absurd that I had been doing a no buy and then made one of the largest purchases possible 😅 And I had to pay for the moving services, and a few new things for the new place. Not like replacing or upgrading, but a bathroom cabinet because there was none. Or a new sofa, because I couldn't keep the old one, it was too big for the new place. Things like that. So, sometimes its a pandemic that changes the parameters, sometimes it's a divorce, or some other unexpected life event. All we can do is plan for the situation we know of, but be humble and kind towards ourselves when they change.

@shawnaripari 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing this! You said it so well. You can't anticipate what will happen even if you try to and the nobuy doesn't always make sense

@tukamousa9025 3 года назад

I have been doing no buys and low buys for three years straight, (off of social media) and this is one of the best vids I’ve seen on this topic. Great video, very insightful!

Wow! That's impressive 👏 glad you've been enjoying the content too

@louiseruruppetersen3963 3 года назад

Honestly, starting a no-buy has been great. For the past many years, I've been trying to curate my closet, by asking myself a lot of questions before buying stuff and I regularly would purge it, but somehow I still seemed to always have a shitload of clothes! I realized it's because everytime I purged, I would buy new things to take up the donated clothes space. Having a no-buy clothing wise has 1) saved me time (don't need to spend time shopping or purging) 2) saved me money 3) finally made me able to quit fast fashion, since I have the money to buy premium stuff on the rare occasion that I need to replace pants or something (combined with trying to learn to sew) and 3) made me fall in love with my closet! Not having new stuff I "want to wear" all the time, has really made me able to use and love the clothing I already have - because I bought it because I loved it!

@shawnaripari 3 года назад

Louise, I'm so happy to hear that this has been your experience!

@kt334 3 года назад

Great video. When I did an inventory of my closet (clothing was my main shopping addiction/problem) I was disgusted with myself. For example, I own almost 50 different jackets... I do live in a city where there are 4 seasons, but my closet was excessive and overflowing! The shock propelled me into committing to trying a no-buy on clothing for 2021. I have also decluttered a lot of old clothing items that I haven't worn, because many I haven't touched in over a year. And I am trying to learn to be happy with my current collection, and to not desire more. I can also relate so much with you on makeup and the project pan thing. I own enough makeup to last me at least another 5 years without buying anything lol. After trying a project pan for half the year I realize that makeup lasts soooo long.. I have committed to not buying make-up unless they are replacements for things I use every day (i.e. new mascara/eyeliner when they run out).

@shawnaripari 3 года назад

Thanks so much! I'm especially happy to hear how much the inventory was helpful! I'm glad that worked for you 😊

@tinat5484 2 года назад

During the pandemic I took stock of all my bills and I was horrified. 150 bucks on family YMCA, 150 bucks on Pure Barre boutique gym, 45 bucks on corporate gym, 40 bucks a month on Wall St Journal subscription and 100 bucks a month on coloring my roots. Gave it all up - almost 500 on things I don’t have or do today

@Arabella--Leigh Год назад

im off the rails. i was stuck on spending too much at estate sales & now its online shopping at bath body works IM STARTING MY NO-BUY today along with a documentation with a spending journal

@jewelb9433 Год назад

Thank you. I'm doing this in 2023. I'm in a ton of debt and that needs to stop. I don't have that much stuff (I barely have any clothes 🤕) , but I spend a lot on eating out and online shopping, especially books. No more ⚔️ I need to build my *very small* capsule wardrobe this month and that's all. I'm really excited!!!

@melissahood2960 10 месяцев назад

I buy very cheap clothes at Walmart sometimes when I can't find what I need at a thrift store and if I wash on cold and hang dry the garments they last a long time. I only wash them if they are visibly soiled or have a funky smell. So, sometimes my capsule wardrobe is very cheap but I look good and get lots of compliments on my clothes.

@leahaf808 2 года назад

I like the idea of doing inventory - assessing what you already have, to discourage yourself from buying more. Will definitely try this

@candy2325 Год назад

I’ve been watching countless videos of this and this makes me super inspired. I just sold some clothes today and got a little money on the side that I’ll save and will continue to sell stuff. I work from home and it makes no damn sense to have a ton of clothes because I wear loungewear everyday 😅 I’m using up my clothes that I have, body spray, lotions, footwear .. you name it. For my budget I’m prioritizing more on grooming and experiences instead like hair salon visits, manicures and travel, movies, fun stuff. Those things I can’t hoard and will create memories 🎉

@lolaphearse3688 2 года назад

I have just been introduced to the concept of a Depth Year,which emphasizes a deeper relationship to the things you already own,which I will do this year after a 4 month No Buy. Seems like a healthy and positive way to really own your possessions. Great tips!

@shawnaripari 2 года назад

What an interesting idea! I also heard about it recently too and am very curious to learn more.

@mrngkn9683 3 года назад

I am starting a NO BUY year because of a health issue in November which was thankfully paid for my health insurance. It only cost me 300 euro , 200 for the doctor 's payment and 100 euro for the hospital. Now i am undergoing therapy which is paid for by my own pocket and it has so far cost me a fortune. I have always saved money though i spent a lot of money ONLY on clothes which is my passion. I am on an extremely low income but thank God i have my own house and i don't have any debts. I decided to stop buying shoes , clothes, make up for this year until i have put back all the money i have spent on my health. This incident was so eye opening. I dread to think what would have happened to me if i didn't have health insurance or if i didn't have any savings. I am now watching as many low buy videos as i possibly can to get inspiration.

I have a beauty budget that I track monthly year round, combined with "no-buy July", which is kind of like a Meatless-Monday-harm-reduction approach. The rule is to buy nothing beauty-related for four consecutive weeks, starting in July (I have given myself leeway on the start date in years past because of lipstick day, but I've still been able to meet my goal). This year I was dismayed to see the number of things I bought during the pandemic, so I made a spreadsheet and I'm looking at each category to establish some no-buy parameters while I work to use stuff up in the next year.

@shawnaripari 3 года назад

Wow! I love this so much especially your yearly nobuy month. It sounds like 2020 has been tough but also that you have a plan!

@imagease 7 месяцев назад

@caleighdrawdy8139 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this Shawna! I know this was posted a while ago but I definitely needed and wanted to listen to what all you had to say! For me I’ve pretty much told myself makeup wise I can’t buy anything in that category unless I’ve used it all up. So I started a project pan about a year ago so I could track my progress and force myself to use what I have. There are certain products and categories I’m not the greatest at using. Sure makes me wonder why I bought it in the first place! Trying to minimize my makeup and skincare one step at a time! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to watching more of your videos!

@AlchemistLynn 2 года назад

I’ve been doing no buys on and off but I’m turning 30 next year, and I feel like it’s time to really get that debt knocked out. I’ve already started my year long no buy. My allowances are a bit less because I don’t get coffee or eat out really. Mine are more like things to improve my health and things for my cat. Cause she’s my baby.

This video is absolutely amazing. 2020 was my first no-buy and, up until december, I am really proud of how well I did. My only real impulse purchases were things for my then-2-year-old because all of our activities (play group, swimming, music class, library reading, another play group, mall trips to play there, parks...) got cancelled and I was just at a total loss and overwhelmed with guilt. Your advice to find a community is exactly what I needed to hear, so thank you! I'm happy to have found you and look forward to watching more of your videos.

I started my no buy as a week by week challenge. I challenged myself to use up what I have, or come up with alternatives so that I wouldn’t have to make any purchases. With the success of the first week, the second week became easier. As time continued to pass, I found myself only making purchases that were absolutely necessary. And now, that’s my habit.

The Sephora Fall 2021 is starting soon and I don’t plan on buying anything bc I have more than any one person needs. I have been on a low buy but I think needs to change to NO buy. My plan is use and enjoy what I have and see what I don’t like and pass to family & friends before they go bad.

@pattyelaine9563 2 года назад

I decided to start on Nov 15 after a long period of over spending. I wanted to avoid the panic buy. It’s early days but I am definitely going through withdrawal. My rules are around problem areas including makeup, crystals, tarot cards, art supplies and clothes but I don’t have restrictions on experiences, replacements, food, coffee etc. I’m ok with reasonable backups. I’m in Canada! My work didn’t change during the pandemic but my spending on items noted previously sky-rocketed, it was a form of self soothing I think. I’m going to take your advice on budgeting for the items outside of the no buy. Thanks for the tips.

I'm surprised that so many "low-buy/no buy" vloggers have so many exceptions to their rules that are by "category" instead of a simple hard budget they stick to. It seems like it would be easy to justify a very large amount of spending if it's simply relegated to an "allowable category". It would be interesting to see hard numbers on what people save year over year if anything. That's been another surprise...so far I'm not seeing any hard numbers on money actually saved from YTubers. Lots of fluff being monetized.

@lynda2844 Год назад

Saving money isn’t the only goal with no buy/low buy. A lot of people do it for other reasons and saving some money might be a by product of the no buy/ow buy year.
