What don't you spend money on?
GI2MR Weekly Theme 2: November 4th
Raw Food not only changes your relationship with health - it also changes your relationship with money. Raw Food and holistic education starts to make you really present to where your dollars are going and what impact they have on people + the planet.
Question: What don't you spend money on now that you use to? How have your dollars shifted since embarking on your health journey? What business do you support and not support?
Specific examples would be fantastic! We want to learn from your experiences.

same here. am still trying to do away with some of the make up stuff. at least going as safe and organic as can be.
the sick beauty industry... oh yeah!
And yes. no medicine and doc costs really. no more of those antibiotics and all that. i used to be so sick half the time.and now am free!somehow i have also bought very less clothes in the last one year. maybe cuz i was broke most of the time and even then i just didnt buy as much clothes as i used to keep buying. just a few are fine now!
less of transport costs and more of walking. that too!
no more of chemical home cleaners and all that too!
never had tv on my floor! so no bother!
all those bottled and canned vegan food! haahaa! none of those!
and may be there will be more. yes, i know!

Oh Boots reeks, it's so vile in there, I can't believe it either.....but it's all marketing, it's just we're not caught in the matrix as much that we can see (and smell) it from the outside.....;)

I dont spend loads on cosmetics, hair coloring/highlighting and expensive shampoos and conditioners; I dont use tanning salons anymore, or spend money on body lotions to mask the dryness from tanning. I dont spend money going out to eat anymore. I dont blow money on drinks at the bar or cigarettes anymore. I dont spend money on recreational drugs anymore. No more expensive cologne. A lot of my clothes are second hand, and I dont make purchases based on fleeting trends.Im trying to break my Walmart habit, but Im not quite there yet. Im replacing my housecleaning products with all natural versions. I save loads on medical bills I may otherwise have in the future.

I dont spend on : alcohol, coffee, a car, morgage, hair dye, new things, dead things, supermarkets (well not often), Tv.
I do spend on; Food, and how! icant believe how much mure im spending on fruit and veg... AND i live in Mexico Cilty AND i buy in season, AND i buy from the little old men on spot on the pavement outside the market with the bruised apples and mouldey payapas, because they are half the price and the sweet old men tell me it´ll scrap off (and it does) and give me free browning bananas. I got 1kg of black sapote for $10 peso = 1 dollar the other day trouble so i´ve lttle to complain about trouble is i go through it all so fast. Yesturday i spent $30 dollars on so much fruit and veg i could hardly carry it onto the bus and today its all gone! where ?? I think ill have to do a fast just to give my biceps a rest.
I also spend on Yoga classes, sport club membership, music school, public transport, fresh carrot juice (1 dollar per day), rent, housekeeping, second hand books, second hand furniture, phones and interneeeet.
