A musician named Becky Dell, from London, decided to test herself for a year after watching David Attenborough’s Blue Planet. Becky set herself a rule to“not to buy anything I didn't need”. She managed to save an amazing £1,621.69,which she donated to charity. She said, “I didn't buy clothes, shoes, presents,other makeup, hair products, jewelry, bags, decorations, anything disposable,plants, flowers, house items etc.”

Over the year, she bought 12 unimportant items, adding, “For example, a new jacket when my zip broke at -15℃ up a mountain,a couple of essential things for my very elderly cats and a couple of essential house items.” She managed to get around giving a gift for Christmas and birthdays by making presents instead. And while the first six months were easy,Becky said it got tough around August. She said, “It got way hard from August,as clothes started running out and I darned my socks with holes. It got easier in December as I could start counting down. The thing I missed the most was buying plants and flowers. I love nature and found that hard.”

Now her challenge is over. Becky said the first thing she was looking forward to was buying some socks. She said, “I watched the plastic floating in the oceans and wondered with shame how much was mine. I decided to do a year of not consuming.Actually thinking about it, I think it was my desire for a £40 cushion that pushed my guilt over the edge last December. Nobody needs a £40 cushion,however pretty it is, particularly when they already have 7 cushions on their sofa.” For anyone inspired to cut back as well, Becky advised spending more money on fewer higher-quality items.
