We are not the first people to attempt a year of not buying anything new. Not even close. We did however find that everyone has their own ideas about what is and isn’t ok. To decide how we wanted to do this, we examined why we wanted to stop buying new things. 3 big reasons jumped out at us.

1. Save money

2. Reduce environmental and human impacts

3. Limit time spent discussing material goods

With these in mind, we devised the following rules for ourselves.

Allowed to buy new:

Food items

Medicines

Hygiene products

Tools to finish existing projects

Home/Car maintenance items

Allowed to buy second hand:

Clothing (only to replace unmendable items)

Textbooks and school supplies

School/work necessary electronic items (phone, laptop) if they can’t be repaired
