When overconsus is no longer trendy

January is the month of the sales, but overconsommer night at the wallet and the environment. In 2025, it may be time to consume less and better. Several tips exist to withstand injunctions to buy ever more.

Among the challenges stamped “good resolutions of January”, a new trend appears on social networks: the “No Buy 2025” (“2025 without purchase”). This consists in stopping its consumption of superfluous products, and therefore knowing how to resist temptation. A more responsible attitude, in terms of ecology, which plays on its personal carbon assessment and makes it possible to fight on a larger scale against pollutionwaste and increase in waste.

To help yourself, there are small gestures that can make the difference. The first is to systematically ask the question: do we really need this new clothing, this cosmetics product? A question that helps effectively before buying. Another option is to hold a logbook, to note everything you need this year, to avoid unnecessary orders, by setting achievable objectives, as we do for good resolutions.

You can also limit your subscriptions to the pages of influencers and not to look at the advertisements that are so many stresses and ultimately invitations prompting to purchase. Finally, it is possible to delete the recording of your bank cards on online accounts, on phones. It is practical, but a purchase with one click pushes too easily to consumption.

In this sense, we can favor the second hand, especially since there are more and more offers. Some brands offer their own site and take up the old clothes that customers report to transform them into a voucher. Also think of the reconditioned phones. It also works with books: we go through libraries, we go through books, rather than buying them again, without forgetting to read those that we already have.

A good habit to adopt is to apply a rule in your wardrobe as in your house: when an object comes in, you necessarily separate from another. We throw, we give, we sell.

On the food side too, we limit the dishes to take away, more expensive and which are full of packaging. We try to cook, and when we cook, we avoid throwing the leftovers by freezing them for example. Thus, on the savings side, it is mathematical, stopping overconsomer allows you to put money aside. But now it becomes trendy.
