Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

As shopping has become less about getting necessities and more about acquiring more stuff, there’s a rising movement to buy fewer things. One way to reduce your shopping is to shop as a chore, not as a fun activity. Paying with cash instead of credit cards can help you think twice about whether you really need something. And for big ticket items, give yourself a few days or even a whole month to see if you still really want it after time has passed. Weaning yourself off shopping can help reduce waste and save you money.
