  1. Well, saving money is a good reason for #NoBuy practices. But even better -- keeping things out of the landfills! This is a trend we ALL need to see more of! For whatever reason one chooses not to buy, I'm glad to see it catching on!

    How the '#NoBuy2025' trend could help you get your budget on track this year

    Ivana Pino, July 21, 2025

    Excerpt: "Many of those who take on the challenge start by creating a list of rules for themselves that align with their lifestyles. This could include hard rules such as 'no new clothes whatsoever' or 'no new technology,' as well as rules that limit the frequency of certain purchases, such as 'yes to takeout once per month' or 'yes to one nail appointment every two weeks.'

    "Others have posted online about having a 'low buy' year, which means they’re limiting the amount of purchases they’re making, rather than cutting out non-essential spending altogether."

  2. @janisf --

    You are really missing the point of #NoBuy2025 and how this is a full lifestyle change that can cripple corporations if all of the "consumers" become "citizens" again.

    It isn't about punishing the corporations, it's about a societal change.

    That's why I think you've missed the mark. It isn't something you can "negotiate" but something you must DO. You don't even have to talk about it. Just do it.

    You can't even see that the status quo is unjust, and perpetuating the status quo is unjust.

    What you're suggesting is unjust.

    You're why we can't have nice things.

    It's called #NoBuy2025
