Im getting more frugal every year, and buy much less cosmetic crap than 99% of the consumers...

I haven't used tooth paste, or deodorant this century.
Use "Real" soap only when needed
Been cleaning my hair once a week with a couple of raw egg yolks, ACV, and hemp oil.
Use only a 4th the recommended amount of cloths soap(unless they totally reek of death)
On low carb I only Poop once every day or two so I save a ton on toiletries.
Use elbow grease in loo of chemical cleaning agents.
Buy mostly used clothing from thrift stores (making sure everything is primarily of natural fibers)
The majority of my food is off the grid harvested from local sources.

What I dont spend on consumerist crap I have to use for other more utilitarian comforts, the basic cost of children and even a few luxury items.

Personally, I am enjoying the benefits of consumerism...I just make it my own personal mission to be a huge asshole.  Just kidding; kisses and hugs to all my peeps.
