    Shop to replace, not add. I love this! Going to use this mantra rest of the year for my closet!

    Love the speed you used to deliver the savings tips. Really dislike videos that take 30 minutes to make 3 points.

    We live in an environment where being frugal is called being cheap..saving money is for poor people…you have money by “showing” you have it. Once you leave that mindset behind, it is so much fun to save money, get a deal etc..as I’ve come to know more and more wealthy people, having come from working class roots..my first impression was..wow they are “cheap” considering how much money they have..but have evolved to realize they are wealthy because they are frugal whenever possible and put the money to work..not give it away to “show” in many cases, complete strangers, they have money…

    Identify what mood makes you want to eat or spend. Some people do it when they're feeling down. I am more prone to spend or have food cravings when I'm in the mood to "celebrate" and say "You deserve it!". I actually sometimes avoid going out all together when I'm too giddy and "celebrate" at home doing something I enjoy, like baking with ingredients I already have, or dance, or making a happy playlist

    My comfy sneakers ended up with holes in the toes. I found a pair (same brand) on sale. My feet require quality shoes. I shop once a week or less. We bought my husband's truck, our camper, and so much more from FB Marketplace. I start a new job on the 15th of next month. 50% will be invested and the other 50% will go into savings. We do all this and more.

    Cheap shoes take their toll on your body. Quality shoes last longer and support your feet and entire body.

    Your video was so comforting in a word. It wasn’t drawn out or over done. I really did enjoy it. I’m frugal and save where I can. Most of what you said was common sense to me. But honestly 1/4 of it was new and I welcomed a reminder on the other 3/4 of the video. Very well done. I am looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks

    I didn’t expect to hear anything new in this list, but I did! I was raised very frugally but over the last 10 years or so have let it slip. I’m still debt free but as inflation continues and pay raises don’t keep pace, I’m trying to re-establish a budget. Love your delivery too. No fluff, just the facts.😂

    Very helpful video, and you have a lovely, soothing voice that made everything sound like encouraging advice rather than hard rules. I have anxiety and wouldn't want to give myself deadlines like timed visits or during lunch-break trips to grocery store, but can pass over that tip to be excited about some other tips. I'm not committed to frugal living but am trying to be mindful about spending and budgeting for saving, and started keeping a spending journal last year. I am definitely going to look up Ibotta and SuperCook too. Thank you for the many tips!

  • @williamrice4608
    @williamrice4608 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    When you make a shopping list for the grocery store, stick to it. If you see something that you should have put on the list make a note to put it on the list for the next time. Exception: You find a real special deal on something you use all the time and it might not wait until next time. It forces discipline.

    What a great list of ideas. I'm quite frugal and watch a lot of these sorts of channels, but this video contained a heap of ideas I've never heard before, and some things that I hadn't really connected to frugality before. Good video!

    I agree with all except one…..shopping in a time crunch….I always spend more because I don’t spend the time to compare prices.

    I use the grocery store flyers and a rubber spatula to clean or scrap pans before washing. Simply take the scraper and run it around the pan, wipe the residue on the flyers and throw them away. Saves your drains from getting clogged with food debris and grease, cuts down on water usage and repurposes the sale ads from the mail.

    Using paper towels to clean I think is better than using cloth towels and then having to treat, wash and dry them. Thus using less water, detergent and electricity

    I freeze batch cooking in glass so keep jam jars which hold a pound of food, sufficient for a meal for one. Just DO NOT fill jar to top as fluids expand in the freezing process. Concerned that plastic containers may leech chemicals into foods. Just remember to plan meals and allow defrosting time.

    Don't need to follow the latest Tic Tok trend. For instance, the Stanley cup craze. I bought a knock off at Walmart for $6. It provides the same function as the $65 Stanley one.

    7:37 I have started to think of items in terms of hours worked, as I'm only making so much per hour. Something that's 1-2 hours? No big deal, as long as I am not spending that frequently since it adds up. Something that's 8+ hours? No way! I'd need to think about that and only consider it if it's a high quality item that would last a long time or making multiple tasks easier.
