I am noticing that I am not much interested in buying things any more - the habit of not buying is reinforcing the attitude that I don't want to/don't need to. It has been like going through a re-education processs - almost a reprogramming.
There are things that I will need to buy (new trousers are failry urgently required), but the buying with little or no thought seems to have been conquered.
We will see if it lasts.

I've got to that stage too - shopping just doesn't excite me the way it used to, and I find it hard to knuckle down and make big purchases.
For instance, I'm still wearing a pair of boots that are really, really past their prime, but I'm too fussy about the pairs I've seen for sale to actually part with my hard-earned cash to buy a new pair! I'm also so used to buying secondhand stuff that actually buying a new item seems ridiculously expensive and luxurious. I just can't bring myself to do it.
So I've gone from being the sort of person who would have listed shopping as my major hobby a few years back to someone who finds shopping hard to do! Much better for the environment and my bank balance, and somehow I'm a much happier and more balanced person in the mix as well.
