[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maintain a Birthday Box stocked with gift bags, ribbons, tissues and add to it frequently. Buy gifts in bulk when you find a great deal.

We never go out for coffee - have become coffee snobs and only ever make our own.

Maintain a stock of essentials, whatever those are in your house. I buy in bulk - everything from razors, medicines, tampons to soap and sunblocks. Key is to keep supplies visible so you know what you have. [/quote]

Yep we have a full stock of non perishables and toiletries, replace when running low. My DDs spend allowance at Starbucks but DH and I don’t. We rarely impulse buy anything. Food shopping is done with a meal plan and a list. We buy new clothes as we desire, but don’t do so impulsively, wait for reasonable sales and try to be purposeful about how often the item will be used. We continually declutter and while we are certainly not “minimalist” we try to keep it in mind. We trade dog sitting with our neighbor. We take nice vacations but play the credit card points game. We don’t replace our appliances because they are the wrong color if they still work fine.

None of this feels like sacrifice or hardship to us. [/quote]
