My Low Buy 2020 wrap up – November, December, and the new year

January 3, 2021January 3, 2021by The Merry LonerLeave a Comment on My Low Buy 2020 wrap up – November, December, and the new year

I’m so sorry – I owe you a Low Buy update for November AND December. I was deep down the rabbit hole of Ph.D./thesis work for the last few weeks and days of 2020, so I didn’t find the time and energy to write a proper blog post. My first draft is now finished (more [...]

Another belated Update – my Low Buy September

The last few weeks were definitely not good for blogging – I’m sorry. I had a lot going on and time is flying by. Besides, I felt a bit sick, spending my spare time napping and reading instead of doing something productive because I felt exhausted … But hey, it’s nearly mid-October and I’m finally [...]

Enjoying a summer of less – my Low Buy June

I had a busy week, so belatedly here comes my low buy June recap in early July. I officially made it through half a year of conscious consumption and thrifty spending – yay and hooray! 🙂 The main thing is that in this low buy challenge I've found my way back from wasting my precious [...]

Low Buy under Lockdown – my April Update

Low Buy under Lockdown – my April Update

(deutsche Version) So this month was not as quiet as I expected it to be. Living and ‘shopping’ under total lockdown until mid-month brought excellent results – I ordered two books online and apart from that all I/we bought were groceries and toiletries. Hence this month had huge potential. But spending so much (quiet quality) [...]

Low Buy Year 2020 – my February update

Another month has passed and I’m still going strong, most of the time. I have to admit that it’s not that easy all the time. Not because I feel dread and despair because I’m not allowed to shop. Rather, I have to become more aware of what I’m buying or not. Some purchases are obviously [...]

Life and all, Low Buy

“Any fool can make a rule …”

“Any fool can make a rule …”

Before deciding to start my Low Buy 2020 Challenge I went on YouTube and watched videos by Hannah Louise Poston, Christina from style apotheca, Signe from useless_dk, and Hailey Evans, amongst others, for inspiration and to get an idea of what I actually want to do – low buy, no buy, a whole year, just [...]

I need a break … My Low Buy Year for Beginners

I need a break … My Low Buy Year for Beginners

Christmas is NOT my time of the year. And this year was no exception. It's stressful, most people are highly irritable, and it seems to be all about shopping, shopping, shopping. Bigger, better, more exclusive. Not that I'm any better just because I don't do Christmas – there's still Black Friday and any other day [...]
