The purpose of this qualitative research, conducted by the method of narrative analysis, is to explore, describe and understand the phenomenon of minimalism in the consumption and use of goods through the biographical experiences of people who have decided on such a way of life. In this research, minimalism or specifically minimalism in the consumption and use of goods, is defined as a way of everyday life of people who consider themselves minimalists and who own, and tend to buy and consume, only as many vital material products or goods that are needed for their criteria of a comfortable life and the smooth functioning of everyday life. Minimalism often involves the creation of space and the decluttering of material things that are not considered necessary for everyday life. The research was conducted on a sample of 10 participants who, according to their personal definitions, are called minimalists. A semi-structured interview was conducted through which the daily life of a minimalist was described, from shopping to owning material goods. A snowball method of collecting the sample was used, and the participants were men and women, aged 25-35, of different levels of education. The phenomenon of minimalism in the consumption and use of goods is an increasingly common topic in the world, and is slowly coming to Croatia, which we can see in the emergence of minimalism in consumption and related topics such as "zero waste". They appear in magazines and organized associations that try to promote an environmentally friendly lifestyle as a kind of response to the consumer culture that surrounds us in the modern society.
