It has been praised by SNS around the world for its great savings.What is "Buy Nothing Day"?Buy Nothing Day, or "Buy Nothing Day," is a movement to spend only one day a year without buying anything other than what you really need. Started in Canada in 1992, it has grown into a movement with more than 1.5 million participants in 65 countries around the world.A modern society where you can easily buy whatever you want, whether in a store or on the Internet. The movement was started with the aim of highlighting "overconsumption," which is the root cause of environmental and garbage problems, and encouraging people to change their consciousness as much as possible."Buy Nothing Day" saves money. In Japan as well, more and more people are consciously creating days when they don't buy anything, such as influencers who introduce how to save money, a few days a month or one to a few days a week. In this article, I will introduce the points to continue Buy Nothing Day reasonably and happily.What should I do on Buy Nothing Day?Buy Nothing Day: cleaning up the refrigeratorOn Buy Nothing Day, consider menus using only the ingredients at home. If you make a lot of soup with vegetables and bacon left over in the refrigerator, or if you thaw frozen meat and fish and use it, you can also organize the inventory in the refrigerator. For example, even if you don't have enough seasonings, you can expand the range of recipes by searching for substitutes on the Internet or by using different seasonings.Buy Nothing Day: going out without a walletIf you decide to buy Nothing Day today, go out without a wallet when you go out. Even if you go to the store, you can't buy it without your wallet, so you don't have to worry about impulse purchases. You can take a closer look at what you really want.Buy Nothing Day: not going outFor those who say, "I spend money when I go out...", I recommend turning Buy Nothing Day into "Hikikomori Day". (Hikikomori means staying at home) If you spend your time at home, you won't spend any money, so it will inevitably be Buy Nothing Day. It's also a good idea to do things that you can't usually do, such as watching a TV program you've recorded or taking a bath in the daytime.Ideas to keep Buy Nothing Day reasonablyMake a reasonable planIt is a failure to make Buy Nothing Day frequently from the beginning because you want to save money. Start with about once or twice a month, then one day a week, and once you get used to it, gradually increase the frequency to two or three days a week. Also, even though it's Buy Nothing Day, it's not good not to buy what you really need. Don't hesitate to buy things you want to use right away that day, such as out-of-stock toilet paper or shampoo.Manage your home inventoryMake a shopping list and manage your inventory in your home for a successful Buy Nothing Day. This will clear up how many items you have in your daily necessities stock and refrigerator, so you'll be less likely to forget to buy or buy extras. Also, if you get into the habit of buying what you need in bulk, the number of Buy Nothing Day will naturally increase.Make or substituteBefore buying a lost item, it is recommended that you make it yourself or substitute something else. For example, you can make mayonnaise with eggs and vinegar, or you can use potato starch instead of wheat flour to fry fried foods. At the same time as reducing expenses, you can feel a little sense of accomplishment, so you will be more satisfied with Buy Nothing Day.Don't worry too much about failureEven if you decide on Buy Nothing Day, there will be days when you will spend money unexpectedly. In such a case, don't blame yourself too much and set Buy Nothing Day again on another day. It is also important not to give up just because you made a mistake. Buy Nothing Day is not a short period of time, but it will be effective if you continue it for a long time, so let's continue consciously.
