I was a single mom and made a game out of grocery shopping with my son at an early age with coupons. As he got older he was like mom the generics are cheaper even without a coupon quit being brand loyal lol 😂 I created a monster but that child (now 26) could find deals for anything! He ended up being a numbers guy. His wife couldn't believe how he used coupons and found deals, bought his own car parts and learned how to fix things. He's a smart guy❤
I did the same with my son, but alas he wants in and out quickly. He smokes, 🤦♀️🤯, and could save $3-6 a pack which is $42 a week, thousands a year but doesn’t want “the hassle.” Though what you make is important, what you keep is more important.
@@kenyonbissett3512 understand that, I no longer shop with him lol because he wants to be in/out now. However, since I work ft and my mom's caregiver I do most of my shopping order and pick up. I rarely get time to myself look anymore.
@@AWordofHope you probably already know this but check for respite care in your area. My sister worked full time and was caretaker for our father. We knew a nursing home would be a fast death sentence, which unfortunately proved true when his Alzheimer’s turned aggressive and violent. He got skin tears easily and caused sepsis which caused his death. My sister feels she lost who she was because of the years of caretaking, please find a way to keep you, you.
Ive binged 86 of your videos to get to know you and your content. I am a self proclaimed "Frugalista" and I think you do a great job of budgeting. I also think you should allow yourself $5 - $10 a week to enjoy an unexpected and much deserved treat, whether its a hair cut, a cup of coffee that costs too much but is delicious, a fast food meal that is horribly unhealthy, a movie out with a friend with a coupon code or simply a can of soda that you havent enjoyed in years. I think you deserve it and its just part of normal life.
I would agree. I’ve been a super saver for 35+ yrs. I have the cost of a movie theatre down to $3 from $10.50. Some movies deserve the big screen, most don’t. Eating at my favorite restaurant is 40-70% off, my favorite ice cream place 50%-75% off.
I used to work for a cashback company. People had to pay for a membership but only after 30 days. The smart ones would open an account, get all the cashback they could get in a month and then close it. Totally legal. I have a lot of respect for these people lol
The prices in your neck of the woods are very similar to here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Crazy expensive. Thank you for your videos. Excellent presentation and quite informative. 😀👍
Your kitchen is pretty!!! Your videos are invaluable to many people. You show people how they can succeed. I think growing up poor sets you up well to succeed financially. I sewed my own clothes & ironed for money & babysat. It not only made money but life lessons.
Girl you are good!! I grew up on welfare in Appalacia mountains . we had to be frugal. I am farely well to do now, but I have worked really hard my whole life and have been frugal the whole time. You are training the next generation to be sensible with financials. Thank you.
I don’t often use my PC Points at the grocery store. I save them to use at Shoppers Drug Mart when they have their extra points day. So I was able to buy my two teenagers cologne using $200 for $300 worth of product. I just had to pay the taxes. There were a few more items to get the bill to $300 but I basically got an extra $100 over the 200000 points I had already saved. Last year I bought a Canon camera with my points on a similar day. This might be helpful for any Canadians.
You are like my female doppelganger in character. Literally the same way I live my life!! Your mom's lessons stuck well, your life looks like its awesome and is likely going to get even better. I can't wait to see your bright future, keep posting great vids(:. Personally I'm working on my masters degree paid for by myself, no loans, a result of; oatmeal/PB sandwich/crockpot on the daily (I really am a good cook but those are my dailies), riding bike for transport (everything's within 10miles of a train station here), and hobbies/ activities that are largely self sustaining like 3d printing, mountain biking, and gardening. I'm trying to buy a house but this market is craycray here in CA. There are literally 0% of people where I live that live/think this way, soo nice to see a person who is genuine and rational. Only a truly secure individual can live like this in our materially driven society and start actually building their futures security, thanks Nicole for starting this channel/community.
Hey Nicole--thanks for another great video. I totally agree that buying clothes is a total, horrible drag! I need to do what you do and wear basically the same thing all the time!
I’m new to your channel and loving it. I’m new to the minimalist world but what a difference it has made to the way I feel on a daily basis! I made a commitment to save more than I spend and now it’s become an addiction. Watching savings rise is so empowering! 🎉
Living in the UK in the northwest I tend to spend on average £967pm or £241pw. £767 of that being mortgage and utilities and fuel etc, the remainder being gym and entertainment. This obviously can change but being an introverted minimalist has its benefits on your savings. It would be interesting to see a video on what vegan meals you like to eat during the week and maybe how you like to save money on your shopping other than making meals at home. Loving the weekly videos, looking forward to your next video, keep up the great work!.
You may have covered this at some point; could you elaborate on why you don’t have room mates? It’s obviously a preference but from a financial viewpoint it’s a missed opportunity as a homeowner.
Levi is gorgeous! His little face when he wanted to play, bless him . I live a frugal life in the UK. The prices of your groceries seem much higher than the UK. I too spend more when friends come round - but that's fine as it costs less than going out! I am enjoying your videos - it makes me feel a little less alone to find there are other folk out there leading a minimal frugal life. Since our lockdowns ended I have only gone to a major city a couple if times and all the noise and pushy selling techniques just left me stressed. ( my dentist is there). Only bought one thing! Lol
A plain white button up blouse is classic & you can wear it under your sweaters. A plain pair of black pants is good too. You have an outfit for business or out to a nice dinner. Good luck on your clothing haul.
All your thoughts are part of maturing. Maturing and aging are connected but Im 52 young, I always feel I am 13, like I feel young but I am responsible and mature. I still like what I did as a kid, still have procrastinating and sleeping in habit, Im just a night owl. And I hate saving money and love shopping but find your channel inspiring, I’m gonna try your ideas. Keep going and you will change in ways and not in other ways. The body can get more worn out thats how you know your agIng! And when your clients appreciate you its a nice gesture to thank you for helping them which can make work more rewarding. Its good to help people as others have helped you. I think you will see that more when you get old like me!
I am very impressed with you. I'm a 60 year old wife and mother of 2 adult children. I really should have a done a better job of raising them to be more like you. But then I'm sure my parents would say the same about me. Although at my age much has been learned. New sub here. Thank you for sharing!
Your videos are inspiring! I’m so glad I watched through the end, Levi is precious! I’m also vegan and I commend you for doing what’s best for your pup and preparing his food, even though I can imagine how hard that must be for you. Thanks, as always, for a great video!
I just discovered your channel and you are amazing! Wonderful, inspiring, down-to-earth advice, and I really appreciate your sense of humour too. Thanks so much!
Oh my God I'm so grateful and thankful I live in Kentucky, total for the month expenses mortgage homeowners insurance car insurance taxes and utilities $800 a month. You can add $250 to that for my car payment, yes it's used. I then spend $100 a week on food and drinks and whatever else I have to have.
I think you are doing a phenomenal job. Especially at your age. I am very impressed. You live decently. You dont need much. It takes alot of discipline to be frugal. Keep up the awesome work. You will never have to worry God willing about your future. I am very frugal as well. My daughter is a ethical vegan. She loves to spend money. She is 25 home with me. I cook all her vegan meals. But her sweets, and some of the vegan processed food are extremely expensive in the states. It took many years to develop this type of disciplined habit. At your age I was so impulsive. Did not think for the future at all. Finally marrying her dad. He had showed me how to save $5.00 at a time. I never thought I could do it. He was from India. A poor family . The rest is history, dont change yourself for anyone.
This is a really interesting video many people have no idea how much they spend and wonder where there money as gone. I try and live on £400 a month, my utilities cost £200 and £200 for foods and petrol + odds and ends. I draw cash out for my daily spending as I see it disappear so are more conscious. I have no rent or mortgage to pay as I have bought my house. in the UK a big proportion of people's spending goes on rent or mortgage.
Something to factor in the cost of selling is the mileage/km's driven to PU/ Meet up. The cost of operation of the vehicle is more than the fuel cost. Insurance, maintainence, depreciation, tires, etc. A base should be $1.50 per mile. I am sure your actual operating cost is known to you as a self-employed individual. I am adding my two cents for folks who may have overlooked the transportation costs of flipping. Thanks for sharing. Good health, prosperity, and long life to you and yours.
Yes everything is relative to the area you live in. I think when I'm typing this that you've reached 30 years old. You might want to check with your insurance agent and see if you qualify for any additional discounts. I live in the US so I'm not familiar with Canadian insurance rates but your car insurance seems high. In the US some insurance companies have bundle discounts that you can get if you have the car and the house with the same company. Also in the US there's good driver discounts, low mileage discounts (usually 7500 miles per year or less) and some discounts for people who are 30 or older. I don't think all companies have these but some do.
Super interesting to hear prices in Canada and some of the conversions you gave on gas etc. Groceries have been a killer for my family, but I have a very hungry teenager.
I got lucky when my son was a teenager. I made hummus at home, a different flavor each day and he would eat all of it with different items like crackers I made, veggies and potatoes/sweet potatoes fries I made at home. It was the only way to afford his endless appetite.
You feed the dog raw meat, have you ever gone to a meat shop that does custom work? Some places who do kill and cut may have whole liver,heart, ( not sure you want kidney ) but maybe you can get your hands on that stuff really cheap. Mostly old cow organs are not generally used for human consumption because of the age.
I rarely buy clothes....maybe every 5 years I'll spend a grand or so....but for tshirts...I go to conferences and get free tshirts from the booths that are there. There's always some company that made tshirts to give out. I have enough tshirts to last decades.
Under 1€ for gas - I am crying... Germany had prices around 2,30€.. it got better in the last weeks and gas and diesel is mostly under 2€ - this would be... 2,60 canadian dollar...
I like how the video was a random week and it is what it is.Sometimes you buy clothes then not for 32 weeks..that's normal life.Sometimes Levi needs a new pair of socks..how can a person know.
Uk bill semi detached 3 beds just me. Bill gas/electricity this month 20.37. But worked away from home 10 days Rang electricity told them i lived Alone
In US $ your weekly expense is about $771 x52weeks=$40,000 in expenses a year US. In my area a one bedroom apartment, in a safer area, starts at $3,000 a month US dollar ($4,021 Canadian). That doesn’t include utilities but sometimes basic cable. Utilities are definitely higher than $86 Canadian. My city is usually in the top 5 most expensive cities in the USA. A lot of singles and DINKs in Washington DC.
I take 2000mg of vitamin C everyday from basically Sept-April when it's cold/flu season, but that's not relevant to being vegan. Otherwise I take a B12 tablet every once in a while if I remember... That's it.
Do you believe a vegan diet is the healtest thing you can do for your body or is it more about not hurting animals? I was totally shocked when you said your feeding your pup a raw diet. I was not expecting that to be the case.
I am vegan for the animals, not my health. Though I do believe it is the healthiest way to live. However feeding a dog vegan is a form of cruelty in and of itself, and if he’s going to eat animals there is no ethical difference between a raw diet and a meat based kibble. He thrives on his raw food so I do what I have to to keep him as healthy as possible.
If you treated your friends to tacos, isn't that more expensive than meeting them for tacos? The bill for groceries was higher than if you had gone out and only paid for yourself.
For what I would spend on one restaurant meal for myself I can easily feed 5 people. Mexican food is particularly inexpensive to make, and restaurants are insanely overpriced.
@@AccordingtoNicole A nice thing to do. When I host people for dinner, it is more money than if we went Dutch. Potlucks are a nice idea because everyone can bring a dish. Love your minimalist style.
It's not an exact science of course, but I look at generally how much I spend on clothes in a year and break it down that way if I'm trying to figure what I spend weekly. I'm just commenting on your videos to try and help you gain traction in the algorithm. Not trying to be negative, just spark conversation.
@@AccordingtoNicole I definitely agree about the dog food, since you said that it lasts three months. That's a pretty big expense when it came to your total, which I'm sure is much more reasonable if you break it down by week. :)
Why would you even choose to focus on such an insignificant thing? Clearly you have enough intelligence to understand she's not speaking solely to males.

A little driving tip
Go a bit earlier if can
Drive slower depends on speed limit
Clean own car
Valeting 15 uk
A car kit 5 to 12 pounds lasts 2 years
I’m working my way through all your videos. You’re brill ❤

i allways wear the same 501's and a t shirt-really simple; once in a year i buy new shoes, i dont skimp on that they are essential....
I just discovered your channel and you are amazing! Wonderful, inspiring, down-to-earth advice, and I really appreciate your sense of humour too. Thanks so much!

Good film! I think your spending is very reasonable. I’m trying to cut back on spending my self. It’s not easy! Your pup is adorable ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I would love to watch more of this on your channel this year.
Im so glad I stayed until the end, LEVI BLOOPERS ARE THE BEST

Nicole, it would not cost much to have your bangs professionally cut. Just wash your hair before you go & tip extra.
Thanks for sharing. Love the outtake of Levi 🤣
Levi at the end 🥰
I do the same things with clothing. Sucks when the cloths get discontinued or equality started to drop off.
Could you do a video with the recipe for your dog's food? I have one with a lot of allergies and would like to do this type diet with her.
I rarely buy clothes....maybe every 5 years I'll spend a grand or so....but for tshirts...I go to conferences and get free tshirts from the booths that are there. There's always some company that made tshirts to give out. I have enough tshirts to last decades.
V-dog is perfect for you and your pupper. I've had my dogs on vdog for years without issue.
Under 1€ for gas - I am crying... Germany had prices around 2,30€.. it got better in the last weeks and gas and diesel is mostly under 2€ - this would be... 2,60 canadian dollar...
Gas is currently $1.55 CDN per L here.
What sort of gas did you pump , regular or premium? That's a lot of cash on petrol for a small vehicle. Unless it's diesel which is pricier.
40 L of the lowest grade fuel in New Zealand is $105, with conversion to USD its about $65. we suck
Great job! But that does sound like a lot per month. Mostly for home living expenses. ❤I love how you take care of your beloved Levi❤
I like how the video was a random week and it is what it is.Sometimes you buy clothes then not for 32 weeks..that's normal life.Sometimes Levi needs a new pair of socks..how can a person know.
The clothing order probably shouldn't have been included lol. Interesting, but definitely throws things off a bit
Hey just to let you know that when return clothes most companies destroy them or send them to the landfill.
The vast majority of clothing ends up in the landfill whether or not it’s returned. Most goes unsold.
i don’t care if a person is vegan but i’m really glad to hear she didn’t make her dog vegan. :)
levi at the end xD
How much of your income do you save per month? What percent or what amount. Thank you
do you use a pc optimum or CAA card when you fill up gas? you get so much savings using a CAA card especially!
Acana with fish is very good, very good. But is expensive because i hove 18 dogs now.
Why do you have 18 dogs?
We have many dogs on the street, now nobody wont to adoppt them.
Uk bill semi detached 3 beds just me. Bill gas/electricity this month 20.37. But worked away from home 10 days
Rang electricity told them i lived
Alone
Where do you stand on the early mortgage payoff controversy? Are you going to pay your mortgage off early? If so, how?
I will be addressing this in a future video!
Cool!
In US $ your weekly expense is about $771 x52weeks=$40,000 in expenses a year US. In my area a one bedroom apartment, in a safer area, starts at $3,000 a month US dollar ($4,021 Canadian). That doesn’t include utilities but sometimes basic cable. Utilities are definitely higher than $86 Canadian. My city is usually in the top 5 most expensive cities in the USA. A lot of singles and DINKs in Washington DC.
I am happy for you
Do yoy like chocolate as its a reasonably price and cheers us up
Do you get to keep the cash back even if you return your items?
Awesome 👌
Canada is a bit better in salary than USA/DE but at that rate you must have like 5.000net per month......
And that is not minimum wage...... ?
Hi Nicole, I am also vegan and wondering what kind of vitamins you buy if you have time to answer
I take 2000mg of vitamin C everyday from basically Sept-April when it's cold/flu season, but that's not relevant to being vegan. Otherwise I take a B12 tablet every once in a while if I remember... That's it.
Do you believe a vegan diet is the healtest thing you can do for your body or is it more about not hurting animals? I was totally shocked when you said your feeding your pup a raw diet. I was not expecting that to be the case.

However feeding a dog vegan is a form of cruelty in and of itself, and if he’s going to eat animals there is no ethical difference between a raw diet and a meat based kibble.
He thrives on his raw food so I do what I have to to keep him as healthy as possible.

What would you say your weekly grocery expense is when its not just taco stuff for friends ?
Currently about $300 a month
That would make an interesting video of what you buy and eat in a typical week …
I'm sorry but veganism is not just a diet, its a philosophy. You can feed your dog vegan dog food.
I spend half of that in a month maybe less.
I'm very frugal also but do you have any guilty pleasures you treat yourself to?
Make a raw dog food how to video
What kind of car do you have?
How much do you make a yr? That's dependent on my opinion on your spending! 😁
Dead animals disgust me too. Pescatarian for twenty years.
Fish are animals too.
Maybe you could have broken down what the dog food ends up costing in a week, and the clothes as well....???
how on earth would I break down clothing as a weekly expense?!
It's not an exact science of course, but I look at generally how much I spend on clothes in a year and break it down that way if I'm trying to figure what I spend weekly. I'm just commenting on your videos to try and help you gain traction in the algorithm. Not trying to be negative, just spark conversation.
No negativity here either! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@AccordingtoNicole I definitely agree about the dog food, since you said that it lasts three months. That's a pretty big expense when it came to your total, which I'm sure is much more reasonable if you break it down by week. :)
add a pop of color!

You don’t mention dating. Is there no one in your life you are interested in?
I was going to subscribe but the language is just not for me. Course and uncouth.
dogs can be veg
No they most definitely cannot. Dogs are carnivorous by nature... they derive from wolves.
@@xkristixx they’re omnivores. But her dog has health conditions
Can you use gender inclusive language please instead of guys- thx
Why would you even choose to focus on such an insignificant thing? Clearly you have enough intelligence to understand she's not speaking solely to males.
Where I’m from “guys” is all inclusive. 🤷♀️
Why would she do that? Do you want ppl to express themselves in their own way or do you want to control how they say things so you don't get offended?
I am a non native speaker and in my head " hi guys" translates into "hello people out there" :-)
For the love of God. Just let it go already.
