      Similar to this, I am making it a game recently to only buy 1 thing from each store. I can go to two stores if I have to but I can only make one purchase in each (unless it's the same item and it just happens to be on sale - e.g. 2 almond milks instead of one but even then I don't buy just because it's on sale if I already have enough). This makes me hyper mindful of time, resources driving around and ensures that the one thing I buy will contribute to multiple meals with what's already in home giving me days before I have to go back. Same with other staples. No just food. Also - let yourself run out. Go without. Fridge and home is way easier to manage when you're out of something instead of managing too much 'just in case inventory' - (tip from Minimal Mom. Then you know exactly what you need to buy next time.

    For the last 11ish years, I have shopped for groceries with cash. I shop sales cycles, and I know where all clearance areas are. I was amazed at how much money I saved when I first started! How many items I bought that had no value. I only buy clearance items we will use AND need. Not may need. But need now. I don't have my groceries delivered, because I can usually find a mark down item, or unadvertised sale. We don't meal plan, so I shop solely on sales cycles and work a rough meal plan that way. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for all the advice!

If you can somehow put Hindi Language translation or subtitles to your videos that will help you gain more subscribers. Because in India which is my country lot of people speak and understand Hindi and population wise our country is big. Many people will like and subscribe to your channel. You can try it, if you like this idea.

    Something I've been doing and have heard other people tip about is that when it comes to Amazon purchases, once you add stuff to your cart, don't finish the transaction and just leave things in your cart a few days. It then gives you the time to really reflect on whether you really need it or not. I find I often delete the things in my cart or "save for later" after a few days and only complete the purchases on things I still feel like I need after sitting on it for a day or 2.

    Start working on sorting out and always storing like things together…you’ll probably find you have multiples of things, which means someone bought another one when they couldn’t find the first one! Once everything is in its place, this will stop happening. For this to work, everyone must return things to their designated place when they are done using them.

    @liesbethbos3049 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Thanks for all the content.
    My tip would be what I call “the fruitbowl” check. When I decided to move to a smaller space and have less clutter, the memory muscle to buy something when you see something nice for your home, and it only costs X, I had to imagine myself going home with it and see that thing in my home. Many things end up in the fruitbowl. Like a cute key hanger for example.
    For years now my fruitbowl only holds fruit, ha. But imagining where something goes once you bring it home was a great way for me to not buy.
    I thought about the psychology of this. It is the activity of shopping, the endorfine you get from it.
    I turned to “wish” an app that sells anything, crazy things, useful things.
    I am allowed to fill my cart there with anything and everything.
    Just don’t pay. Leave it there.This is similar to the 7 day or 30 day rule I guess, but at the time it replaced the feeling of “needing to shop” as a recreational” thing.
    Gradually the urge just stopped.
    I now live in a beautiful clutter free place.
    Value experiences over things. A day in the playground with the kids, hammock picnic with my friends, sit around my bonfire and having a chat with the neighbors, using free wood. Those things give a longer “high” than purchasing something
    Use the free gym.
    Outdoors is good for anything. Walking, running, hiking, biking, skating, kayaking. It boosts your mental health to be outdoors. Any weather is great, always. Even if it is too hot, too cold, too rainy. You know it won’t last forever, you feel great though once you challenged yourself.
    And yes, at one point I had to buy skates, a bike, a kayak, running shoes, etc. But the cost per use is wayyyyyyy lower than a gym membership.
    Going out for coffees… nope! If you want to talk to me, walk with me.
    Ha, I can go on I think.
    Many saving tips from the US do not apply to me. As we do not live like this (drive everywhere, TV always on, buying coffee, breakfast, lunch outdoors) but it is still fun to see where I can save some money.
    And I feel like I am living a life of more luxury than ever before. Doing only the things that I love to do and spend my money towards things that really matter.
    Again thanks for the vids, they are fun to watch and have great content.

    Very good! Thank you, Gabe. @8:31, logging your spending habits is also a good way for discovering 'patterns' that we're not otherwise aware of until scrutinized in writing. Repurposing is another good one. I hate tossing anything I've spent money on no matter how small the amount. So when I discovered this week my active yeast had expired, I googled alternative uses for it. I found bakingmad's website had blogged "Top 5 Alternative Uses for Yeast." My takeaway lesson is now to always look for the silver lining in my mistakes.

This wouldn’t have been a big deal had I got the monthly subscription, buuuuut I accidentally purchased the yearly. Now I feel obligated to use it but if corse I have to tip.

    sorry, but 5€ is the absolute minimum that state calculated for food in germany per day. if i can get a big lunch for 10€, coffee and fruit at work and mabye just add a bit of porrdige or bread, i am really good off without meal prepping. it would be a ton of work (around 180 hours per year) that would equate to a saving of a few hundred. that’s a shitty rate per hour. i rather have some more freetime… unless the hourly rate is over 10€/h, i better work a bit overtime and skip cooking. work smarter, not harder!

    Last ones…
    Clear out the pantry and fridge fully. Do not waste any food. The last days are the most creative. “bachelor fridge” rules.
    And get a “too good to go” deal from a grocery store. Check them all out and find which one is the most useful to you.
    It is like “Hello Fresh” for 5 Euro’s, with no instructions (be creative) and it will feed the family for days. Plus you saved food from being wasted.
