I do shop at Aldi for produce but for tissues/cleaning products I go to Walmart bc Aldi doesn’t have a lot of options :/ Thank you for this awesome video! I learned so much!

I’m trying to do a complete no buy this year! Loved this video!

Awesome!!

I’d like to add the most important one. Animal products. They are unethical, unnecessary and unsustainable. ✌🏻💚

Who uses paper towels to dry hands haha

Got some new perspectives from this video! You guys are adorable!

Don't throw your faded jeans. Buy dye and restore them like new for less than $10. I saved 10 jeans to last me another year or two. Upcycle what you have. Become an eco-minimalist.

Some things not on your list that I'm not buying this year(we have many of the same!): any special skincare products, sticking to the basics, moisturizer, cleaner, sunscreen. I've been struggling with adult acne so I bought a lot of products in 2024 to try and fix it, a few months ago I started supplementing with evening primrose oil and 95% is gone 🙌 I'm not buying new glasses or multiple packs of contact lenses, I'll probably buy a pack for summer but just for special very outdoorsy/sporty days. I'm not buying dishwasher tabs anymore, a lot less detergent does the job very well at least with my current dishwasher.

Those shopping bags seem such a great idea and had never imagined of such. I'd love to get those or make them myself when I start needing a cart for shopping

Hello how are you?? I hope you are well 😊 Are you looking for a professional thumbnail designer? please Let me know❤❤❤❤❤😊❤

Our city has a tool library and it’s something that we’ve loved to use for house projects!

Thank you for explaning 🙏

love ❤

I always love your videos ❤ You both are so soothing, fun, and with my multiple illnesses your video design really helps me watch/remember your practical advice easily. Love that you also post your ideas in the description box for easy referral too. Jess & Josh for the win! Blessings and thanks from the USA

So great!!

I knew I wouldn’t be able to get over the ick factor of insertion and removal of the cup so as an alternative I have switched to the period underwear. It has saved me hundreds already and it’s been only about 6 months.

"Those who menstruate"... I remember when we were proud to be women.

YES! Great ideas, some I’ve used for decades 😊 and I’m excited to learn about the press coffee/tea mug. Jess, you look so beautiful with your hair back a little. Love your earrings too!❤❤❤❤

Have you considered the health risks of using a gas range? They have been shown to give off pollutants 24/7.

Great ideas!

There's also a frequency factor. If you enjoy something only after you accidentally discover it in the back of the cupboard, that isnt enough reason to keep it.

Dear parents! Let the kids choose their favourite toys and souvenir toys!!! When the kids are very good, then they deserve toys. Every good behaviour kid should have plush toys, legos, puzzles, figures, dolls, souvenir toys, toys from cartoons, balls, table games, blocks, cars, outside toys and etc. Please buy only those toys, what the kids very want!!!! I know many toys and souvenir toys are very expensive, but when the kids are very good all the times, then sometimes they deserve these things!!! Please be kind parents and make Your kids very happy with these toys, what the kids have chosen and don’t say NO all the times, when the kids very deserves those toys for good behaviour!!! Respectfully, Astra Viil ❤🥰

Dear parents! When Your kids are very good behaviour all the time and always taking good care of their things, keeping their rooms very clean, loving their favorite things and want to make nice childhood collections of their things: books, clothes, toys, video games, clothes, DVDs and etc, then donataing is very wrong thing to do. If You have few space then storage boxes and shelves will help You out and Your kids will be very happy and thankful then, if they can keep their favourite things. Childhood things are very valuable and it is very sad, if they won’t see them anymore in their life. Every child should have the right to keep their things, if they can take good care of them all the time!!! Respectfully, Astra Viil ❤☺️

I really love watching you both during your videos. They are calm, insightful, practical, informative, and funny too. You both look wonderful and I love your advice. If I may offer the slightest lovingly meant constructive feedback, it would be awesome to see more of your face Jess. You are beautiful as is your hair, but often your eyes are half covered and it detracts from what you say. You’re clearly very clever, and if you are open to a slight change I think it would make it easier for people to hear what you are saying. I do truly love your videos ❤

I just subscribed…. I’ve been decluttering my home and now it’s addicting and refreshing, less stuff to dust😊

❤

I can't get past chapter 1 of his book. It seems like a book with 1 page of insight and 200+ pages of filler. So I guess I did the most minimalist thing possible, and stopped reading. :)

Omg zzzzzzzzzzz

It is important to remember that the correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation here.

I wonder if you would consider doing a meal-planning video? I'm an Aussie who also shops at Aldi, and I hate wasting food, but it happens.

I have so often heard of the Maybe box, the Time will Tell bin, the Quarantine bin, etc. But they all say revisit in a month, or 2, or 3. When you said "12 months" something clicked! I am going to do this. I already have a donate box. It lives in my wardrobe, but I put stuff from all over the house in it. This will be my next step.

I have so many books on decluttering. You'd think I'd be decluttered by now. But I'm not. I don't think I can pick a favourite, although I do love Goodbye, Things and The Life Changing Magic of Tidying.

The More of Less by Josh Becker

I really needed to think through this because I have tons of clothes but never love the way I look in them.

Thank you... this video is rich and helpful

very informative and consolidated video! loved it, keep it up!

Great advice 💕

New subscriber here! I love how you don't just discuss how minimalism saves money and time but you recognise how over-consumption is awful for our planet. Thanks for a great video.

Start and stockpile beans, lentils, rice, pasta, purchase meats on sale and buy seasonal produce. Keep a cupboard for all baking supplies. Grow some fresh herbs in a kitchen window. This will always keep your budget in check.

You save 10,000s a year by not eating out?! Is that dollars? Where do you eat out? xD Where do you shop? I live in one of the most expensive places in my country and I could save about 5,000 pounds a year... if I never ate again in any shape or form! xD If I ate at home I would save very little.

YES! Old minimalist, and new subscriber here ❤

I love how your voices are calm and not oversaturated, unlike those of most TH-camrs these days, it feels more genuine and like a real conversation, thank you for that :))

This has to be one of the most efficient achievable universal minimalist videos I've seen in a while. Thank you from Texas

Shoes = Walkies! 😂

Ok! The puppy approval face for Cable Management got me! 😂

Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊

Eight years is shocking, appalling actually! I think of all the grocery shopping, errand running, pick up prescriptions at pharmacy, stopping at rummage sales for a quick run through, returning an item purchased online, etc, etc & can see where this time adds up! Ugh, I didn't retire to shop🤔I have been heavily into my decluttering/minimalism journey for about 7 months. Hubby still digging his heels in to hang onto the dangdest(is this even a word?) things...sigh...it is a process & enjoy watching your videos as a 'clutter-free' activity☺
