Experts suggest starting small, like low-buy months, or choosing secondhand items first
The no-buy 2025 movement is gaining momentum as people push back against the constant pressure to shop, especially from influencer and social media ads.
How it works?
By setting simple rules, like avoiding new clothes, accessories, footwear, or skin-care products unless truly needed, many are learning to spend less and live more.
While several social media creators market different products, some post content supporting the no-buy shift by promoting tips for mindful consumption and sustainability.
Why go no-buy?
No-buyers say it reduces clutter, waste and carbon emissions while giving them more financial control. Some use their savings to pay off debt, build retirement funds, or save for a dream home.
Many also find a new appreciation for what they already own, creating a sense of gratitude and peace.
Making it work
Going no-buy isn’t always easy. Experts suggest starting small, like low-buy months, or choosing secondhand items first.
Despite the challenges, those who stick with it often feel more empowered, happier and in control of their lives.
