Well done! My wife and I have done something very similar. We need phones for work, but we did get rid of one car (pre-pandemic), and ride our bikes or take public transportation for nearly all local shopping.

My wife has taken it a step further with shopping, and buys all her clothes that last 2 (3?) years through thrifting. Huge savings except in time.

There is the rub. To do all this you do need time, and that is something fewer and fewer of us have, due to the crushing unfettered capitalism of the west.
