Decorating for a holiday is a must for me. Without any kind of outward signs, what would make any holiday special? Yes, so much of it is a commercial scam. There's a sugar rush for every holiday, along with paper and plastic crap we hang on walls and our doors, but some of it is very nice when done tastefully. I suppose you could attempt to psychoanalyze the reasons why people need all of this stuff, but there's no doubt it does improve people's mood.

I really like to buy freezer-safe ziplock bags for storing leftovers. As a single person who loves to cook at home, there are always so many leftovers that I can't eat within a couple of days, so I freeze servings of leftovers all of the time and it freezes and thaws wonderfully. I always have meals ready to go in the freezer for when I don't feel like cooking. I just place it in the refrigerator the night before and it is ready for my lunch the next day. I also have discovered the time and money saving convenience of buying meat in bulk. I will bring it home, and store a lb of meat flat in a bag and it stores and thaws wonderfully. It saves me from having to get meat from the store every week, and saves me money. So, when it comes to freezing food, freezer bags are so wonderful and useful.

I dip in and out of most of these. We do order takeaway a good deal, and I have a latte habit that I need to curtail! This is probably justification, but dining out (or takeaway) and lattes are our only indulgences, and we like supporting independent. local businesses this way. We eat a plant-based diet, but there is room to improve here -- less of the processed vegan food would be healthier for our wallets and our health. I have tried vegan leather shoes, and that was not a good option for me. Natural fibers are best for me (and the earth), so I try to buy wool jumpers and such secondhand. I try to buy most of my clothing secondhand, but I know that some people don't like this! I am with you on the candles and home fragrances. As I've aged, my tolerance for scents has decreased, and smelling a scented candle (or a heavily perfumed person) makes me so ill. Some of this could be tied to allergies to certain scents. In 2022, I bought 3 new print books, and 2 were disappointing! I use the library a good deal, and there is a wonderful Little Free Library two blocks away. I don't know if this is just a U.S. thing.

As an 'older' woman I grew up with parents who were in their teens during WW2, so having to be very frugal during that time, my parents learned never to be wasteful. The motto was: "Use it up, wear it out. Make it do, or do without". We learned to sew, mend, iron, bring our shoes to a shoemaker, take care of our clothes, and of course use up leftovers. Now in these ridiculously expensive economic times, me and my sisters - all with families - are not feeling terribly deprived of much since we have always learned to be thrifty wherever it's practical. Good lessons for all times and situations.

Libraries - lots of libraries have a certain amount of e-books, with an app to read them. It's great if you're on a reading kick, because you can literally borrow a book at 2am if you're in the mood. Also if you forget to return them, they just automatically go back at the end of the borrowing period. I like physical books too, but it can be a pain to keep going back/forth to the library if you're getting through a lot of books.

I take the frames to an optical store and I get a quote on new frames plus lenses first.

Also with Uber, I have a car and don't use Uber regularly, but I've done it a few times when my car was in the shop and no one was available to shuttle me back and forth to the mechanic's. There are a lot of good reasons for using them besides going out and getting plastered! ;) I think you are very wise beyond your years about money, but tolerance for people who are doing their best and not hurting anyone is an important lesson as well.

I switched from using a lot of plastic storage bags for storing food to reusable plastic containers. I'm going to move to those glass containers when the current ones wear out. Thanks. Oh, and there's some relatively recent science on this - microwaving food in plastic is horrifically bad for you!

If you aren’t in an area that someone can give you a ride, an Uber to the airport can save you a bunch over parking at the airport.

I don’t buy art work. I paint & frame my own landscapes. I display only the pieces I’m proud of. The rest of the canvases are recycled/repainted until I get a good result. The knicknacks in my house either mean something or are made by a local artisan. No junk in my house.

Regina Fisher, I used to agree that Goodwill was a good place to shop. However when I learned that their CEO makes millions and he pays his employees below minimum wage, I stopped donating to them. I donate to my little local thrift stores now.

@@spir5102 how does he legally get away with paying people below the minimum wage wage? My cousin works at a Goodwill, I have friends that work at Goodwill, I know they don't make a whole lot but I don't think it's below the minimum wage. It's still keeps a lot of garbage that would be in a landfill out of one, I get what you mean by donating to a local thrift shop instead, the thing is they just don't get as much foot traffic most of them, I had a lady I was donating to, she just had to close her doors, she got plenty of stuff dropped off , it became a hoarded up situation, and she couldn't get rid of all the free stuff,lol, everyone has too much of everything. Goodwill does employ a lot of people, and help people with records get jobs.

Don’t do all the things you mentioned. I absolutely despise holiday decorations and wasteful cards. It’s weird how you’re either a sucker of the social constructs or you’re not. And mentally strong people are usually not and thus have savings as opposed to debt.

I stop my consumerism yesterday. I didn't go to the supermarket today, i didn't buy a latte, i ate whatever was going off soon in the fridge. I feel great. Let's hope this lasts. Only buying milk and petrol from now on.

Laughed when you spoke about not buying a new car- I never have, and still drive a 26-year old Honda. Unfortunately, we can no longer buy the spare parts to fix it as little things go. The engine is sound as ever, of course!
