I love watching crime video's and love love love ghost stories and hauntings!!!
Right up my alley
You did FABULOUS! I loved your stories - reminds me of my childhood. My mom made a lot of our clothes - even my prom dress because that was the only way we could afford one. You have great ideas and I appreciate you sharing them. Please take care and have a Blessed day ❤
Thank you for watching
Hey Aunt Vickie! You did a great job on your video! I wanted to say how sweet it is that you agree that your daughter should have what she wants in a car. She definitely has been through a lot in her young life, probably making her wise beyond her years and responsible. I'm glad she got to do that. You have some great ideas on how to not spend money. I wanted to share what I've had to do since becoming disabled and not working at 63. Somehow, God willing, I got my cell phone bill down to $14.00 a month. That lasted 4 months and then it went up to $20.00, but hey! I'll take it. I called my internet provider and got the lowest speed they have. I notice no difference and it cut my bill from $69 down to $35. Finally, I researched and found a much cheaper electric company that probably saves me around $70 a month. It can be done but it takes some work. I sorry this is so long!!! My gosh! lol...Love you and your videos. You get better every day, girl!
Thank you so much and some great advice
I have to say you look very beautiful without all the makeup! Thanks for your insight!
Aww thank you
No make up. I choose to age like GOD intended. And your hair is perfect
Aww thank you
I do my own hair dying and now I will be cutting my own hair because last time it was $100 trim!!
I know the cost is outrageous
@@tinamarie5643 I wish I was brave enough to
Aunt Vickie, Dollar tree elf makeup great stuff. We follow almost everything you do. We don't miss any of it.❤
And i will dye my own hair too 😂😊
@@kimberbrown2858 I dye my own hair as well I just haven’t done it in a while. I would actually love to go silver.
@@AuntVickiesCraftCornerHi lovely! Terrific job today and about your hair, silver suits you, you’re on your way so just keep going!😊❤
@@notenoughrope aww thank you
Honey, you do work!!!! ❤️
I try
Everything you mentioned I am exactly the same. I haven't bought retail clothes in years! I drive a 2004 SUV. The only time I wear makeup is when I have to. We don't have a home phone either, just our cells. We are just not materialistic. I'm like Paul wrote that we can be happy with a lot or nothing. My husband and I are both retired and live on a fixed income. Brooke has taught me about saving money on groceries which it has helped a lot. I enjoy your channel..I love to craft and I by a lot of crafting stuff at Dollar Tree. I and my husband are native Mississippians..born and raised in Natchez, MS. We are just good ole southerners! Thanks for the ideas.🙂😊
Thank you so much and welcome
Thank you for the wonderful ideas I had go to one income years ago already implementing half of what you do nice to officially meet you have been following your niece Brooke and her Wonderful Family for a year and a half she is so awesome and kindhearted I can see the vibe runs in the family you all have a great week!😁❤️
Thank you so kindly
Great job! Love you and Brooke!❤😊
You did great!! Thanks for sharing your tips!!
Hi Vickie, so nice to meet you and Brooke. Best wshes to your family and thanks for sharing.
You're great!
Aww thank you
Hi Aunt Vickie!! I also don't pay for TV streaming services. I got myself a Roku for my BD last Sept for $25 (on sale), and watch the free shows & free live channels. I mainly got it for the local TV stations for the local news. When I could drive, before my stroke in 2013, I didnt drive a new car either. Always bought used. I think the newest one was my 2001 Chevy Malibu in 2008, and I traded for it. Today my mobility scooter was bought for me by a friend, and it was used when he got it & gave it to me in May 2021. My manual wheelchair is going on 8 years old, and I've upgraded the brakes once.
You & Brooke both have great lists, Great Job!! ☺️❤
Well thank you kindly
Thank you! I don’t spend money on lots of makeup either.
It can get expensive
I've got a fat box TV I've had since 2014, works good, have VCR DVDs, have a wall full. Streaming Pluto, Tubi 😊 plus, crochet 🧶 and knit cheap yarn.
That’s awesome
I thought you did a great job!! Thanks for the tips.❤
Thank you
1994 Lexus! Classic girl! I too have never bought new. Just get me from point A to B and back 😂
Exactly
You did a great job. Good ideas.
Thank you
You did a great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
Vicki, Dollar Tree for makeup!! Basically same products as Ulta/Sephora but $1.25.
My mom made all of my clothes including my prom dress and my wedding dress and all of my regular clothes my son does all of our car maintenance
Just love you Aunt Vickie!
Great video and suggestions to save money.We have similar stories growing up.We dont go out for dinner or to the show or take vacation away from home, any extra cash I can make repurposing thirifed furnature,tables dressers and mirrors goes towards feed for animals that have been injured and dropped off at our small farm we rent.
Animals of all kinds are welcome,so rewarding when nursing them back to health and setting them free..try for sharing your story.❤
You did an amazing job Aunt Vickie. 💜
Thank you so much
Super!! Good advice you gray nice also I've found great dvd's at thrift stores for a dollar and clothes with original tags, your husband's lucky your not needy nor a cry baby keep up the good work you have an angel watching over you thanks again for sharing 😊
I love your family history really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing Miss Vickie ❤
Thank you so much
Hey Aunt Vicky. You did great. We do the same, except a vacation and the landline. We still have ours for business reasons. On vacation we still do 99% of our own cooking and only go for a few days. There are so many things to cut back on to save money. It’s the little things that add up to a lot of money saved. We only have one car. Once a month I take my husband to work and run all my errands then. We’ve saved about $500 a month that way in car related expenses.
Car payments are astronomical nowadays
I’m with you, no makeup! All those chemicals on our skin, seems to age us. I realized that and stopped wearing makeup. Your skin is flawlessly beautiful!
Aww thank you
Thank my best friend is from LaFollite Tennessee she goes no where without full makeup. I'm from Cape May NJ I lived in the sun and my skin is still Better than hers at 56
Hate makeup unless special occasion. I don't need to wear makeup everyday to work. I know I'm getting older makeup isn't going to hide that.
@@barbiemarie2376 seems like a chore to me to wear it lol but that’s just me personally
My Grandsons wanted to take me to see Elvis when it came out so we went. It was a Special Treat with my Grandsons.
@@lindaroper6698 sounds amazing
Dear aunt Vickie, I understand what you have said. I am the same way and so is my husband. Even my crafting items I find at Rose Store or thrift store , I recycle things to sell. I do buy hair dye and get my hair cut twice a year. But I cut my guys hair, they don't mind it. I also / we watch a lot of TH-cam. I love cooking and craft shows. Also, mystery and comedy movies. The only thing my husband does enjoy is going to a baseball game. We don't drink or party , we are home body's. I have been blessed because on our second date we went to church so we knew then that we were going to be good together. We have been married 31 years in June 12. We have known each other 32 years on March 30. My husband was a college professor and 😂in was nursing when we met. He is 4 years younger than I am but we both believe and think almost the same way . I say to others if you are being good and doing what is right then you do your th8ng. Thank you for sharing today. God bless you and your family 🙏❤
Aww thank you
Great video! Childhood tales are awesome. I came from a family of 9 girls and 2 boys. Hand-made dresses were a big thing. All of us girls learned to sew. I like makeup but don't use it much. You Tube is great for watching almost anything I want. ❤
Aww thank you so much
Love your channel, we also do the same frugal things as you. New clothes are usually from Christmas mostly we buy thrifted clothes. We do like going camping for vacations, my hubby knows to find free campgrounds (helps that he was a scoutmaster for decades lol). Our cars are used and paid with cash. We also do our own car and home maintenance. When our kids were growing up the free library was our best friend! There is nothing wrong with saving up for what you want so you don't go into debt. There's nothing wrong with getting gently used clothes, furniture, cars or whatever to save money and not go into debt. People need to stop worrying about what other people think because most likely they are in the same boat as you. Good video Aunt Vicki!!
I enjoyed listening to you so much. You were such a BLESSING ❤
Hi Aunt Vickie I really love this video You are amazing thank you for sharing this I enjoyed it so much God bless All 🙏🏻✝️☮️💙💗❤️🌹🌺💝💜🍀💐🙏🏻
Thank you so very much May God richly bless you as well
1999 Lexus E300, and I love it! I really do think mine will go to 500K+ with the continued proper maintenence - plus I bought it for $3100 with 98,000 highway miles - still holding at 240K!
Thank you for sharing all of your personal ways of saving money!❤
Aunt Vickie, you’re amazing! 🌸
Thank you so much
I like your ideas, and your prospective point of view is refreshing. Many blessings to you and your family ❤😊
Thank you and you as well
Thanks, Aunt Vickie! I love to save. I coupon and save big. Your beautiful daughter can learn and prioritize to her needs like mama said. We are ALL different. I hope you have a blessed and wonderful week! xoxo
Thank you and you as well
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner 🥰
I truly enjoyed your suggestions, your experience and your wisdom that you gained by your life path. My journey is similar. I too was a stay at home mom with a child who had asthma which caused many visits to hospitals and specialist and Dr appointments. He is living life well. Definitely a different lifestyle. My second child had medical issues that caused different complications and stress but he is grown and living life well. Our family had No vacations, canceled home phone, canceled satellite service, no new car and no new furniture. I can relate. But all those obstacles made me who I am today and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Would I love new furniture yes. Would I love a new vehicle yes. Would I love to go on vacation yes. But reality is what it is. Aunt Vickie Keep Sharing Your Life’s Adventures and Story.
I Appreciate You. Keep Shining.
Thank you. I can sympathize with you it’s a struggle sometimes
I enjoyed hearing about your family and history, you seemed to really be in your element. Be yourself and don't ever speak negatively about yourself. Take care you did a good job 👍
Aww you’re so sweet thank you so much
Came from your niece's channel Brooke and I do few her savings and few of yours too with 1 income and still raising 2 boys under 12 yrs old and already raised 4 boys lol
Going to love your channel it's crafting my world ❤
Thank you
Blessings 💞🙏🏾💞
You as well
Loved your video. I am doing similar. If i can do something for no or lower cost I go for it. I learnt to cut hair during covid. Won’t spend money on going to hairdresser now. Going to watch your crafting videos now. I love hand sewing too. I love mending where it’s needed. ❤️
Aww thank you so much
❤
So, so true Vickie! Thank you for the good advice! Luv ya ❤❤
Thank you and love you as well
Some great ideas for others to try!
Home phones are wonderful because if the electricity goes out home phone's still. Work?
And is not a problem if you have a solar charger for yourself on perhaps?
Aunt Vickie, 🎉 I think we are taking the same language. We too, do almost every thing you named and im a crime watcher. You done excellent.
Thank you kindly
You did an amazing job with this video girlfriend , and I feel ya with a lot of the things in your list are also on mine , I'm so. Cheap that when our o en went out a friend had a small toaster oven works great and less space didn't spend a dime in it so I think we'll keep it until it goes out on us as well hopefully that's a long while from now
Thank you and that sounds like a plan to me
Hey Aunt Vickie!! I 💕 this collab!! I'm also a crafty and crime story gal 😂🤭 These were great suggestions for saving 💲💸 I think sharing these ideas and tips are so helpful and important for everyone. There's so much money that can slip through our fingers in modern times it's crazy!! I hope everyone enjoys and shares this video 😁 I do most all of your top 8, I think cutting out a lot of unnecessary and overpriced entertainment is a HUGE help to budgeting these days too. My hubby and I have not had cable for 15+ years and we only do free streaming on Roku and our other devices. I agree, there's so much great free content/TV/streaming out there 😎💜 Have an awesome week!! Can't wait to see your next crafty projects 😄
Thank you so
Much
How do you get local news?
@@sheliakellett9821 on Facebook I follow the local news stations
Thanks for the ideas for saving money appreciate everything you say to all of us.i thrift for clothes too especially since kids and teens grow fast God bless your family may your daughter stay healthy God bless your strength as a caregiver I'm caregiver to my mom 79 who's on hospice with Dementia
We buy furniture from local.thirft store and our oldest is in remission from leukemia so we stay home to take care of mom and our kids Again God bless you and your family ❤❤❤❤
God bless you and your mom
I love listening to peoples life stories. I really enjoyed this video ❤
Thank you
Good comments and I do about half of them already. Last movie prob 15 yrs ago, no makeup, my skin feels like it can't breathe and love old furniture n it is almost 80% of my house. Collected over 40 years from where ever I could find n mostly hand me downs. U rock.
Thank you so much. Old furniture has so much character and lots of stories behind them
Hiya Brooke’s aunt Vickie, from North Shields, England ✋👍🙏
Well howdy to you as well and welcome
Here from Sourgern Frugal Momna
Welcome
Great list! I've learned from my dad how to change brakes, the oil, and even the fuel pump and starter of our 2008 Caravan. Just found your channel through Brooke. Keep it up!
Thank you and welcome
Great video! I love seeing how others save. You did a great job! Very helpful.
Thank you
Loved all the stories. Great tips too. 🥰 Well done!
Thank you
❤I love watching you
Aww thank you
Great tips! Most i do as well
Thank you
I’m with you on free true crime TH-cam videos and old movies (with ads).
True crime is my absolute favorite. My dream job would have been in either criminal psychology or in criminal forensics
❤❤❤
PS 31❤ A virtuous woman ❤❤
I buy second-hand things too. Unless it is on sale and I can afford it.
Absolutely
Farming is one of the hardest jobs you can do. I respect every farmer. Ive worked in tobacco and hay several times.
Absolutely
Just found you. Awesome 🎉
Thank you and welcome
😊❤ Awesome tips to help save. We just recently got rid of our land line too. It felt so weird lol
It felt weird to us as well
You did a fantastic job. Should think you didn't. I love your realness just as Brooks. Love yall and I sure you channel is going to grow fast.
Aww thank you so much
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Good afternoon Auntie Vickie! Brooke sent me. Loved hers. Im sure i will love yours too. ❤❤
Thank you so much. Brooke’s videos are always the best.
Thank you Aunt Vicky. You’re a lot like me. I’m into crafts and don’t subscribe to anything. What I have found in the last few years what was Salvation Army and other thrift shops? Their prices have gone up so much you can actually buy brand-new at the warehouse. I don’t know if you got one in America it’s kind of I don’t know what it would be like, but everything is sort of a cut price also online, there’s a few shops online that you can get brand-new for like $20 or less and this is in New Zealand dollars so it’s like a dollar is like 1 1/2 times less than your dollar so you get more for your dollars than what we get for our dollar hope put that right. I do see what Brooke gets for her money is a lot more than what I would get like for instance say I bought a cauliflower it could cost me $12 here and I only have $120 a week to live on, so if you dividethat into an American dollar oh my God I’m lost here. I’ll have to look at the conversion rate won’t be a moment. Right $1 NZ equals $1.61 US. So your $. Has depreciated since I kicked it. A month ago was a lot higher single money is coming down. Just surprised at how much the dollar has dropped US dollars. There is.
We don’t have a Salvation Army in my town but we do have one a little over an hrs away I go to sometimes. My fave is probably the Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore about an hr away. I always find lots of goodies there as well as wood and building supplies
Hi! I’m a longtime fan of Brooke and she sent me over to your channel. You had me at “serial killer”. 😂😂. Nice to learn how other people save money. Thx! Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Thank you my utmost favorite crime shows glad to meet another follower of the ”serial Killer” shows
I think you did a great job. Many of the things you listed are exactly what I've done and still do. The reason I still do them is out of necessity. I've been watching a lot of TH-cam movies this week. I also enjoy true crime and listen to free podcasts on my phone and watch them on a few streaming networks. I learned to thrift my clothes from my mom because I grew up wearing them that way. I'm retired and on disability so, my income is limited. If I don't save then, I wont have and that's how I live my life. It's just me and my cat and we get on well and are happy with what we've got. I buy nice things for my grandkids, but I'm still thrifty. I buy during sales and after holidays and put things away until an occasion comes up for giving gifts. So, I may buy birthday gifts 6 months early or buy Christmas 8 months early, but they get useful and frugal gifts.
People who can afford it should spend however they see fit, as you say in your video. I believe that, too.
I just found Brook's channel earlier today and I'm glad to have found yours, as well.
Thank you and welcome
Thru you i have learned i dont have to go without crafting because i live on a fixed income thank you im so grateful for you and Brooke you have changed my life for the better ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aww you are so sweet. Thank you for enriching my life
You look beautiful without makeup. ❤
Aww thank you so much
I have subscribed
Thank you and welcome
I came from Brook channel Love you guys
Thank you and welcome
👍🙏
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, you did a great job on your video and I understand where you're coming from. You are Absolutely Awesome and I Thank You!!!
Thank you
Very wise
Thank you kindly
I am so, so sorry about your daughter.... I am the primary caregiver for my now adult daughter who has a chronic, incurable lung/heart condition. She has been on disability since she was a child. I don't work either because like you I take care of her. I am trying to get better at getting more frugal. My thoughts and prayers are with your daughter and your family.
Aww thank you. I totally understand your situation, it’s very hard at times but we get through things by the grace of God. I pray everything works out for your daughter but for you as well. Us caregivers have it tough and my advice is take time for yourself as well and most of all take care of yourself.
@@AuntVickiesCraftCorner thank you so much for your kind words.... I will also keep you and your family in my prayers. I pray that your daughter continues to do well with her transplant.
I don't buy paper towels I buy napkins maybe once a year a 200 pack. When I eat out I ask for extra napkins and condiments or if inside I grab extra. They become my Kleenex and emergency stash for gas station bathrooms
I don't buy paper plates it's just me so I don't have to.
I buy multi purpose cleaner so I don't have to have something different for my tub toilet and floors and counters unless an issue arises.
My sister uses vinegar and frebreeze in her mop water and to clean with.
I fill my gas tank once a month and use public transportation much of the time.
I have my doctor's put everything in prescription form because it then can be used as a medical expense and I can use that expense for Medicaid and snap benefits qualifications.
I don't have tv subscription but I do have Kindle I don't have cable TV. Which means I don't get local news and that stinks
I cut my own hair
I wash my hair once a week but rinse it every time I shower.unless I have an appointment where I feel my hair is to yucky from sweating.
I try finding free things or people to share with when it comes to crafts or gardening or other things.
We do the same with the napkins we keep a large stash in our cars to use as Kleenex and other uses
There are so many ways you guys save money that we use also. Makeup only used for days I work and I get all my running done on those days also, only buy used vehicles, all vehicles are paid for in full. If we can't pay cash, we do without it! No movies, don't go out to eat, but used furniture and pre-owned clothes. No home phone. We do not exchange gifts for any holidays, if we want something, or need something, we save for it and get when we can.
Good plan
🥰
I keep the landline for the 911 service. If emergency occurs, the dispatcher has the name and address. If the person can not give the address or is not able to be understood, a police car will be dispatched.
That’s a good plan
A great video as always. And hon, you are beautiful. You do not need make up. Your skin looks so nice and your eyes sparkle. But most of all, you are a beautiful soul.
PS: I love watching True Crime too, and serial killers and that sort of thing. I also like watching Paranormal channels as well. :) I watch most of my stuff from TH-cam.
Paranormal is also another passion of mine
Thank you so very much for this very informative and interesting video. You say that you wear almost no make up but believe me (widow age 74) you are a beautiful woman and have such a nice TH-cam voice. And your gorgeous head of hair is amazing! You and Brooke look so much alike that you could be close to twins not Aunt and niece. I believe you will do very well on TH-cam and I look forward to all your videos. Brooke adores you and speaks often of you on her channel, she says that you are the "crafty one". Hope to see more of your videos and I will be recommending you to all my relatives and friends. Sincerely, from Debbie 🙋 and Dexter-Dog 🐕 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐶🐾 companion living a quiet crafty life 🏠🧑🦽in southern California. 💕👍🙏🧗🐣🤪✝️🤸🤓💌🌵🐾🐶🐥❤️🐰😘
Aww thank you so much for your kindness
I don't have / buy
Internet - I use my phone data or go to the llibrary.
Cable , Streaming Services, Roku - I watch TH-cam on my phone or Public Broadcasting shows.
Expensive face cleansers/ aging creams - instead -a good scrubbing with a wash cloth, water is a good exfolliant, followed by Coconut Oil.
Manicures - do at home.
Expensive clothing- jeans, bras, undies - Walmart, most blouses Walmart, socks Dollar Tree, and dresses I keep for 20+ years as I buy traditional styles so always look up-to-date not old.
New even newer cars
Mine is a 2009 Subaru gifted to me 5 years ago and I love it
Great savings
Hay you. I think these are great idea's. I do yhe dame thing about being frugal. My job causes me to travel So I've been able to see parts of the US on their dime. Lolom trying to let my hair grow long again. Lol. I hope alot of young peeps are watching theses great tips 😊 PS. I got an M T water cooler bottle and throw all my change in. I will even puck a penny up off the ground. Lol Free money 💰 😊
Good idea
I drive a 1992 ford ranger truck that my dad had it was inherited in 2009 it’s still doing me fine easy on gas and it’s showing age but it’s my only transportation I am now 65 yrs old myself bought 2, new cars in my life and had nothing but trouble from them my ole ranger I can go to the end of the earth and back my dad took great care and now I do the same in his honor He still lives in memory every time I drive it great video
I get it now you mid-southerns love Walmart because back in the day it was cheap and where the true middle class shopped. I'm from a coastal town in southern Jersey, Kmart was our Walmart. Along with JCPENNEY
And you don’t need make up anyway just natural beauty counts anyway and you got that heart is beauty anyway
Aunt Vicki im driving a 2004 Honda Accord getting ready to hit 240,000 i love it....sad its not a stick shift
Hey as long as they are driveable and dependable that’s what counts
Hey Vickie.... Good to see youi have straight talk home phone I pay 16.67 a month in 2024... I don't buy the cards.... Unfortunately I have to pay for auto maintenance I don't know anyone where I could get a great deal ... I don't do subscriptions either.. I do watch TV I use an antenna... I can't handle crime shows but that's me... I used to buy make up but not really any more.... One thing I'm proud of is I have no debt at all.. I save for things and I don't like bills to build up... I live on SSD.... Isn't a lot I can say that only thing that saved me is I get 60 percent of my deceased husbands SSD but it's not a lot each month so I cut corners where I can... There is nothing wrong with you and your husbands ways of saving and doing things so don't apologize for being you and helping your family ... I commend you my dear .. I watched Brookes video before yours.... You did a great job in share your🙏🙏🥰🥰❤️❤️👍 tips and ways of saving... Great job Vickie
Thank you so much

Hey, Auntie! Hey, your ideas are NOT “odd or weird.” I wish zid started my life out as frugally as yall have. Now one thing we do have in common is no vacations. In my 56 years, I’ve been on ONE vacation and I was six years old then. I do buy new clothes, but it’s a rare occasion. I have A LITTLE T of clothes, but I never wear them
Out. I’m usually in pajamas or leggings and a t-shirt. I had said my New Year’s resolution was to get up and get dressed everyday. That resolution was broken Hausry 1st.🤣 And I have nough makeup to fill half a store. Ask me how much makeup I wear. Anyway, thank you fort dharing. I came over from Brooke’s. Where are my manners?!! I’m Arnesua. Please call me AJ. And I’m a new subscriber. Blessed be.🙏🏿
Welcome so glad you are here
Brooke sent me to your channel 🤗
