What products have you stopped buying or realize you can live without?

That really is a scam isn't it? If a person bathes at least once a day, usually not needed.

I used to pay like $250 plus tip every 6 weeks.

Waste of time

Same except I pay more for the box color. I’m sure it looks worse in the back but I just can’t care.

I could never live without Kleenex!

I don’t use anything like dryer sheets or fabric softener or perfume or room deodorizer. But couldn’t live without deodorant!

There are lots of things people use that I just never have. Like nail polish.

I won't buy more dryer sheets. When I got new towels I read not to use them because they hinder absorbency. Who knows. But instead of drying towels separately I stopped using the sheets and don't notice much difference.

While there are a few people who don't need it, the vast majority of people really really need to use deodorant. However, they may not be able to smell themselves. But everyone around them does. Please keep using deodorant.

We don't use dryer sheets or fabric softener. I also did away with the damp-rid in the laundry room. We don't use plastic wrap but do keep tin foil on hand along with plastic sandwich baggies. I also got rid of the extra baking soda in the fridge years ago. I don't use panty liners anymore either. I like finding things I can do without.

Summer here in DC even showering daily you need a deodorant! Plus exercising in the heat or a warmer gym you need it! I know all of you have been in an elevator with someone who didn't use deodorant, don't be THAT person who no longer smells their onion pits. Gross 🤢

I’ve never bought body wash

Just soap.

I really like this one company that sells something like “man soaps” and the fragrances are like Pine and Chestnuts or Peppermint Shaving Cream.

Some stuff like that.

You are me!! I’ve never used those items anyway! And tissues are essential for my allergies.

Well this is getting ridiculous.

I've found that I don't need a fax machine. I can live without whiskey because I don't drink it. I don't need nail clippers because I use manicure scissors. I have dropped the use of talcum powder. I don't use denture cream. I have never bought a cord of firewood so I realize that I can live without that.

Your post makes no sense but I feel like you're asking for attention. So here you go honey!

I like bar soap, too. Or if I run out, shampoo will work until I head to the store. And I use conditioner instead of shaving cream.

My city library loans out board games, which is great because we love games but get sick of them after a while.

DH gave up the dryer and hangs everything to dry. I am not patient enough for this, though.

Thanks for the great tip!

I just pop it on the stove. Put a little oil in the pan and when you're heating up the oil, put one kernel in. Once the pops, put the rest of the kernels in and put a lid on. Super easy.

How long does it grow in a year?

I also get my hair cut once a year. I'm a natural blonde and it gets darker in the winter and lighter in the summer but I don't dye it. I'd say my hair grows a few inches a year?
