The unnecessary items that we buy without needing them, are the ones that we have to cut if we want to save money.
Unnecessary items: Simple but comprehensive list of what we buy and do not need
"Ready" packages
Salads that have already been cut, packaged steaks, burgers, fillets etc, feta in a plastic box, packages with ham-cheese for toast and so on, cost twice as much as the corresponding products that you can easily buy from the department with cheeses, meats , vegetables, cold cuts etc of the supermarket. And what do they save you? The five minutes you would cut the salad or the toast that you would spread for your schnitzel.
Different cleaners
With the exception of a few materials, such as wood, your home surfaces do not need their own different detergent, sponge and cloth to clean. Good old soap is fine for almost anything.
Ready coffee
2 euros per day, ie 10 euros per week if we do not count on weekends, 14 euros if we count them, ie at least 40 euros per month. Save them, with a classic and favorite frappe from home or even better by investing in a coffee maker, for better quality coffee.
Disposable razors
With almost € 7 per package, for ergonomic handles and cute colors and other nice but useless "advantages". Buy a classic razor or razor, in which you will simply change the blades, saving about a third of the money. The fact that the cheapest package says "for men" does not mean anything, as the blades are exactly the same, their price only changes.
Energy drinks
If traditional coffee is not enough to wake you up, then something is probably wrong with the duration or quality of your sleep or something is wrong with the marketing of energy drinks, which have convinced you that you need them.
Expensive care products
Anti-wrinkle creams, anti-cellulite lotions, magic filters that will make you look younger, more beautiful, more shiny, smarter, more anything. Do you know what the same job does? A combination of good sleep, good sex and people in your life that make you laugh.
Brands
Let's say there are two cell phones in front of you. We do not want to be accused of defamation, so we do not say names, but let's say that one makes € 300 and the other € 900. If you bother to look in detail at their technical specifications, you will find that the difference in price is the cost of the marketing department of the expensive company, which works overtime and has to be paid somewhat. And this applies to everything: clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, gadgets and so on. We are no longer in the 90s and no one really cares about your sweater card.
