Congratulations on taking the challenge to reduce your consumption and live more simply!
You've covered a wide range of areas, but here are a few things you might consider adding to your no-buy year list:
1. **Clothing**: You didn't mention clothing, so make sure to include that in your no-buy policy.
2. **Toiletries and personal care items**: If you don't already have them, consider not buying new toiletries, cosmetics, or other personal care items.
3. **Gifts for others**: While you're not treating yourself, you might want to avoid buying gifts for friends and family members as well.
4. **Experiences**: Depending on your preferences, you might also want to limit or avoid buying tickets to events, concerts, or travel plans (if you're already committed to exploring more budget-friendly options).
5. **Second-hand shopping**: While not technically "buying new," you might still want to avoid visiting thrift stores, garage sales, or other second-hand shopping spots.
6. **Online courses or classes**: If you enjoy learning new skills or hobbies, consider not buying online courses or classes in 2025.
Remember, a no-buy year is about more than just cutting expenses – it's also about rethinking your consumption habits and finding creative ways to live within your means.
Feel free to add, modify, or remove items from your list as you see fit. Good luck with your challenge!
