Our "shopping subtraction" rule

Hello.

This is Pyoko Pyoko Pi.

I used to be a greedy monster, but now I'm quite calm and I'm thinking "Be careful when buying."

We have summarized what we are doing naturally about shopping.

"Order later"

Dessert set for eating out. Just ask, "Can I add it later?."

When I talk about my stomach after eating, there are days when I think, "Is it okay now?"

One stock is enough.

From the anxiety of "running out" to the sense of security that "if you have one, you have enough time to buy the next one before you use it up."

"Not enough" is a chance for ingenuity

When something is missing, don't rush to buy it right away.

By considering substitutes, you can devise storage and expand the range of dishes.

There are quite a few things that can be substituted with another detergent.

Make a note of "I want" and put it to sleep

Don't be fooled by sales and points, wait for "your edge."

While i'm laying them down, i often realize that i can substitute something i have at home.

"Don't rush to spend money" not only saves money, but also leads to a refreshing life.

The saving # shopping # subtraction

... Read more私も以前は、必要以上に買い込んでしまい、収納スペースが足りなくなったり、使い切れずに無駄にしたものも多かったです。そこで、『買い物の引き算』という考え方を取り入れてからは、心もお財布も軽くなりました。例えば外食の時、デザートセットを最初から頼むのではなく『あとから追加できますか?』と店員さんに聞いてみることで、自分の食欲や体調に合わせて判断できるので無駄が減ります。ストックについては、以前は複数個置いていましたが、「切らして困る」という不安を感じるより「1つあれば、使い切る間に買い足せる」という安心感の方が合理的だと気づき、ルール化しました。また、少し足りないものがある時にすぐ買いに行かず、手元にあるもので代用できないか工夫すると、料理のレパートリーが広がったり、収納場所もすっきりして便利です。洗剤なども意外なもので代用できることが多く、節約につながっています。欲しいものが浮かんだらメモに書いてしばらく寝かせ、その間に本当に必要か見直す習慣も生活の引き算に効果的です。セールやポイントに惑わされず、慎重に吟味することでお金の使い方が上手になり、何より家の中がシンプルで居心地よくなっていきます。こうした小さな引き算ルールを少しずつ実践することで、忙しい毎日でも余計な買い物に走らず、自分らしい暮らしを守ることができています。
