2025 Low Buy Year & Project Pan

Project Pan is a challenge to use up all your products before buying new ones.

Below are my no buy/low buy guidelines and the categories I want to focus on using up, plus some exceptions. 
  • Clothing
    • Limit clothing purchases to six pieces 
    • Monitor cost per wear on existing clothing and aim to get to $5 or less on each item
  • Beauty Products
    • Replacement items are allowed as long as the item(s) are completely used up
    • No trying "new" products
  • Hobby Supplies
    • Stickers
      • Unless it's a sticker that I'm going to put somewhere right away
    • Scrapbook paper
  • Books
    • Unless I'm going to scrapbook with them, limit of three
    • Get my physical TBR to less than ten
    • Get my digital TBR to less than five
    • Borrow books from the library
    • Limit Zine Purchases to five at a time
      • Cannot repurchase until all five have been read/scrapbooked
I'm hoping to take control of my overspending this year and redirect funds to more fulfilling spending, like traveling.
