Things Minimalists never buy

“Focus on one item at a time when deciding if it’s a keep or donate.

If it won’t make their daily life better, they’re going to pass.

Books

We’re not saying that minimalists aren’t literate (or avid readers!).

Instead, minimalists tend to frequent the library.

For minimalists, the answer may be just one or two.

Then they’ll replace the items only when they really need to.

Trendy Clothing

That blink-and-you’ll-miss-it microtrend?

They’ll definitely miss it.

Minimalists invest in just a few classic pieces that’ll last them for years and are timelessly chic.

Excess Accessories

This is another place where minimalists tend not to splurge.

Minimalists would rather invest in more lasting versions, like reusable water bottles and ceramic plates.

Minimalists only shop when they absolutely need something, whether it’s on sale or not.
