Pinched this idea from a vlogger........
Things I don't buy at all or not very often.
Not buying some things leaves money for buying others - like books!
- Lottery Tickets
- Hair stuff or any products other than shampoo.
- Make up and beauty products
- Ready Meals that just need heating in the microwave
- Multi-buys - they tend to be branded products and Aldi don't do BOGOFs anyway
- Pre-cut fruit and veg.
- Bottled water
- Fruit juices
- Fizzy Drinks
- Alcohol
- Fabric softener and scent boosters
- Scented candles
- New ornament type things
- A huge variety of branded cleaning products
- Meal deliveries - like Just Eat and Deliveroo - not even sure if they would deliver here anyway
- Magazines and Newspapers
- Manicures
- New gadgets that do different things in the kitchen - I have all the things I need.
- Jewellery
- Air Fresheners or plug in scented things
There are some of that list that might be useful with age - I can see how ordering meals from a company like Wiltshire Farm Foods could be handy and better than supermarkets. And preprepared fruit and veg for anyone with arthritis etc.
Back Tomorrow
There are a lot on that list that I do not buy but also a few that I do.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy a lot of magazines, now I try to borrow them or subscribe to some through my library. There is one I treat myself to, but instead of the paper edition (which I would prefer) I buy the Kindle version which is 1/3 of the cost!
