Baby wipes. I bought them for years even after we were done with diapers, just for convenience.

Anything related to having a period! It's been 3 years!! YAY!! Ummmmm..... Products with sodium laurel sulfate. High heels. Converse (sigh) I only kept 2 pair-a neon purple, gold and black, and black. I gave away the other ones. I have heel spurs and they don't provide enough support. Pony tail holders-I am determined not to let my hair grow long again.  |

I quit buying books, music CD's and DVDs since most of those can be bought and downloaded. I can store hundreds of movies and music on Amazon. I haven't had a picture developed in ages. I keep them on my computer or in the Cloud. I find that I take way more digital pictures than I ever did with film.
I don't buy quilt books or magazines because I can usually find a tutorial or similar enough patterns free on line.

Pop unless we're having a party. Then we buy it for guests. Magazines, because there aren't any good ones anymore. I used to get almost every scrapbooking magazine there was. Now those are gone. I quit buying them when Michael's and JoAnn's wouldn't take coupons for them anymore. I still get the newspaper a few days a week. Paperback books because I have no time to read anymore. I have a bunch of unread books on my Kindle that I got for free from Amazon and I don't know if I'll ever read them. I still buy the occasional DVD if it also has a digital version, DD likes watching the same ones over and over so we get our money's worth out of them. I still buy the occasional CD because it's a PITA to use the navigation on my phone and the music player through the car at the same time (and with the SYNC navigation system sucking so bad, I always use the GPS on my phone). I should stop buying fruit because I'm the only one who eats it and we end up throwing half of it away every time.  |

Magazines - subscribe to Texture now
Books
DVDs
CD's and Music - I might buy 1 digital download a year
Photos - I haven't printed a photo since 2008 when I bought a digital camera
Scrapbook supplies - I only scrapbook pre-digital photos and have enough albums and supplies to cover that
Splenda/artificial sweetners - I just use regular sugar now and my weight hasn't changed a bit
ETA: Another post reminded me I haven't subscribed to the newspaper in about 10 years. I read many different news sources online.

I haven't bought any music in several years. I'm happy with streaming services and the radio.

Soda
Books I read almost everything on my kindle or iPad.
After the recent selling of our cable company I am really glad I still buy blu Rays as those that purchased online were out of luck they may have eventually got them back or a refund but I am thankful it didn't effect us. We don't but many though as there just aren't that many good movies. We usually borrow from the library or rent from redbox.

I never go near the scrapbook section. I have way too much scrap crap and never use it.

Make up. I never wore much, but every once in awhile I'd go on a kick where I would think, "I ought to look a little more polished." I'd use it for a short time, then stop. I'm good now with my nekkid face.

Lots of things, part of all the changes that happen over the years. In particular---
Pop
Scrapbook supplies
Cell phone covers---planning to get the iPhone 7, so new size means my 6 covers will be obsolete.

I was going to say pantyhose but some of you beat me to it. The last time I remember wearing a dress was at my brother's wedding on New Years Day of 2011. I've mostly stopped buying CDs but I still buy DVDs and blu-rays. In fact, I just bought a new blu-ray player last week after the old one died. I have all the Downton Abbeys, 11 seasons of The X-Files, Ken Burns series, 40 hours of Winds of War and War & Remembrance, lots of old movies and documentaries. I'm keepin' those puppies. I do stream digital for things I just want to watch once. I don't drink soda (or very rarely) but I do keep some around for guests. Still buying and using scrap crap. |

Magazines was the first thing that came to mind. I cut my subscriptions years ago to save money. Occasionally I buy an individual copy but am left thinking - I paid $6 or so for all these ads?
Christmas decor because I just have more than I can use now.
While I don't buy CD's, I do still buy on i-Tunes. I prefer to own the music.
I seldom buy gifts. DH and I don't gift exchange anymore. I usually gift myself something for Christmas and birthday. We are very happy with the arrangement. I'm past all the wedding and baby showers for friends and their children aren't old enough yet for us to be invited. Quite a few of my friends/acquaintances don't have children so I guess there won't be a big round of wedding/baby shower gifts.

Frozen lunches, - healthy choice, lean cuisine etc. I used to eat those every day for lunch. I now eat a nice big salad with tuna and avocado. Me too, but I like to keep one in the freezer in case of a busy day and I run home and have nothing to eat. I stopped buying books and get everything from the library now. Maxi pads because of the diva cup. It's been 10 years since I bought a CD. |

Oh this. Wish I had a nickel for every... I worked 10 years for a company that required suits and hosiery for women. We could take off our jackets while inside our offices but had to be wearing them at all other times. I kept a few suit skirts for I don't know what, but gave everything else away. |
