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.

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.
