As I continue down the Road to Simple, I decided to compile a list of No-Buy items for 2022. I was successful in 2021 in buying less overall, but I did not set any specific goals. This year I am!
To be clear: My No-Buy Year does not mean that I won’t be buying “anything”! I will continue to replenish the items that I use for daily living, (personal care items, home maintenance, etc. … and food, of course), but I won’t be buying additional items in several categories. I explain my list in this short video.
My No-Buy List does NOT include Experiences, like an adventure with my husband, a massage or special trip to see family or friends.
My main focus is to bring FEWER ITEMS (things) into our home.
.My No-Buy List for 2022:
- Extra Kitchen Panty Items
- Small Kitchen Appliances
- Jewelry
- Extra Cosmetics
- Pants & Most Clothing
- Purses or Billfolds
- Accessories: belts and scarves
- Shoes
- Craft Supplies
- Greeting Cards
- Home Decor
- Paper/Plastic Plates, Cups, Bowls
- Christmas Decorations
- Additional Streaming Services

I had planned a no buy year for 2021 but the May flood hit us ( I’m also in LC) and changed everything! We did manage to declutter about 90% of our possessions…
Oh my goodness, Heidi. So sorry to hear that you were affected by that terrible flood. But decluttering 90% of your possessions… that is amazing. I hope things are getting back to normal or “simple” in your home. Thanks so much for visiting my site.
