Wish I had lots of additional ideas beyond those you've already mentioned (and you're probably doing better then me). Consume minimally is the basic idea; for example, I've bought exactly one article of clothing in the past three years. My 1-20 year-old stuff seems fine to me despite being "out-of style." I mention this because the fashion industry is a leader at propagandizing folks into largely unnecessary consumption. It also illustrates how product pushers depend on word-of-mouth interpersonal shaming by the matrix of the propagandized. So the bottom line turns out to be a mental attitude that's somewhat misanthropic, in that one must cease to give a crap about the consumer-based judgments of other folks. Good luck. Keep resisting.
