Checklist: Conscious purchasing decisions

Guidance for finances and purchasing decisions in family life — without purchase pressure.

  1. Define priorities

    List what you really need over the next months. Not everything has to be bought immediately.

  2. Check materials

    Look at listed materials and compositions. Use certifications as guidance only when verified.

  3. Buy second-hand and share

    Many items can be bought second-hand or borrowed. This saves resources and money.

  4. Understand certifications

    Understand what a certification verifies and what it does not. Unverified claims on klugundgrün are clearly marked.

  5. Decide step by step

    Buy based on actual need, not internet lists. You can always add later.
