What’s something you stopped buying that you don’t miss at all?

Trying to cut out unnecessary spending without feeling miserable. So far I’ve realized I don’t really need half the stuff I used to buy out of habit
Interested to hear what others cut out that actually made life simpler.

Eyebrow waxing. I just do it like once or twice a year now for special occasions. I don’t miss it and save a lot.

You are in r/shoestring with a question asked having a "AskShoestring" flair.

Buying random things that I thought I "may use" or "may need" when seeing it on sale while shopping. Until I started questioning myself if it is something I actually want or actually needed.
