10 Buys I Skip to Save More Money

I cut these from my shopping to keep extra cash each month. Choose basics over extras for better finances and less stuff.

Bottled Water

Use a reusable bottle and filter—saves $50+ monthly and cuts plastic.

Cafe Coffee

Brew at home cheaply; buy a good maker for savings over time.

Trendy Clothes

Stick to simple basics; shop thrift to reduce costs by 80%.

Throwaway Plastics

Switch to reusables like bags—stops repeat buys and helps the planet.

Quick Snacks

Plan meals with healthy foods; avoids $20 weekly on junk.

Home Decor

Go minimal; no trinkets means more space and money saved.

New Tech

Only replace when broken; old devices work fine longer.

Paper Magazines

Use apps or libraries; no more costs or clutter.

Single-Use Cleaners

Make your own or refill; less buying and fewer chemicals.

Extra Makeup

Keep just basics; all-in-one items save cash and time.
