#14: Frugal Shopping Practices

There’s a push towards sustainability today, particularly among the youth. They champion the motto ‘consume less, create more’, striving to either grow their own food, such as herbs and veggies, in urban settings or support small eco-friendly businesses that do. This green wave is about making mindful choices that favor both the planet and local economies.

While the younger generation leans towards minimalism and sustainability, the older generation, especially boomers, is accustomed to keeping their storages overflowing. Having mastered the art of bulk buying over years, their households are well-stocked and ready for any emergency. This stark contrast in shopping habits highlights a generational shift from abundance to mindful consumption.
