What do you avoid buying in order to save money?

[You]

To keep my spending in check, I avoid mindless impulse purchases and try to live by the mantra of "use it up or do without." I skip buying new clothes or gadgets unless I absolutely need them to replace worn out items. I bring my lunch to work instead of going out. And I cut out little luxuries like daily coffee runs or frequent Uber rides. While I do still budget for fun and leisure, I'm highly selective about non-essential spending.
