All fantastic tips, especially rotating subscriptions. One other thing you can do is share infrequently used appliances like vacuums, snow blowers and food processors with neighbors. We did this when I lived in an apartment building. Residents would put these items in the communal laundry room and anyone could sign it out and use it for the day. Saved everyone a lot of money buying, repairing or replacing expensive but little-used items.
Except when your neighbors are dirty. Yech.
Rarely used vacuum cleaner? 🤣
@@susanneashton1340 i thought the exact same thing! I use mine daily cleaning up after my birds!!
@@susanneashton1340 I have degenerative discs in my lower back and avoid vacuuming at all costs. It is easier for me to use a hand broom and dustpan, ( on my hands and knees,) followed by a good damp dust for all the skirtings, and then, a sweep of the centre and a wet mopping of the entire area using a good floor cleaner. Crazy, but there ya go.
Another Tip: Turn OFF the hot water heater circuit breaker, while at work, or overnight. If a shower is needed, turn back on wait 15--20 minutes. Watch the decrease in electric bill.
or shower at your workplace, especially if you billed based on completed hours
Cook at home, eat at home. Eat leftovers and or freeze them. Save money and eat better. It's a mindset.
I canceled Amazon Prime, and didn’t miss it. Placed items in the cart until I reach free delivery instead. Most time, I decide not to purchase it.
If you make a large meal and do Not want to eat leftovers again the next day, you can freeze them and eat them in 3 weeks when you don't feel like cooking. Just reheat.
Good idea! Do that every night for 2 weeks and then reheat the next 2 weeks ....
That's a fantastic tip!! I hate seeing food wasted,and this is something I do also!!
And using leftovers to make into soups ,stews and other meals. XX
@@AndreaDingbatt everyone in my family loved Chili. Double batch, eat one freeze one. Single batch - Night one Chili! Night 2 or 3 Chili with Macaroni (some families prefer rice), Night 5 Chili Hot Dogs with Cheese. No Leftovers by end of Day 5. Chili is a food that always tastes better the following day as flavors meld together.
@@kenyonbissett3512 Totally agree with you,especially with flavours getting better,oh heck,I'm hungry now!!
(I love chilli con carne!!)
That sounds delicious with macaroni,also cheese too,,,,
I've eaten already, but I think I may have a snack!
Thank you very much for the extra ideas!!
I do a lot of foraging wild food,and I dry/pickle/ferment/freeze/tincture/make jams/jellies/preserves,
Chilli with pickled wild garlic flowers and home made chutney will be on the table tomorrow dinnertime!!
Thank you again.XX
I am constantly asking my library to purchase books they don’t already own. They always buy them and then put it on hold for me to pick up.
You scratched the surface of savings. Good points, but I could be the queen of saving money/frugality/thrift.
Here are a few examples:
I saved 76% of electricity bill by unplugging vampire energy sappers. I got excited by that any unplugged everything I could. I couldn't unplug the fridge, and I couldn't unplug the stove...but I could turn the electricity to the stove off at the breaker box till I was ready to cook, and then turn it off again after cooking. I could reach the plugs of the washer and dryer...so those stayed unplugged until needed and then unplugged again. I eliminated another 11% off my electricity bill.
I caught the water that came out of the shower as the water warmed up. I used to water my garden. It seemed a shame to let all that paid for water go down the drain.
I insulate the water heater and all hot water pipes I have access to. I haven't insulated heat ducts yet...saving up for it.
I'll turn off the water heater until about an hour before I shower. While the water's still hot is the time to wash dishes.
Only one room has a light on at a time. One summer, when daylight lasts long, I decided not to use lights at all. Instead, I lit a candle or two in the room I was in. If I went to another room, I carried a candle with me. My electricity bill that month was only $13.
As you can see, I'll take saving money to the extreme at times...as long as it's an interesting challenge for myself. I can always dial it back a bit...so I don't worry about being extreme. When I get a utility bill, it's a challenge to me to get it to go lower the next month.
Also, in the summer, I keep the AC on the highest number I can tolerate--usually 78°F. In the winter, I keep the heat as low as possible--around 64--65°F. I usually turn them off at night. I can use a ceiling fan to sleep in the summer, and blankets to sleep in the winter.
Enjoyed your video.
Would you share your tips for saving on food costs?
@@kenyonbissett3512 Thanks for asking. 1. Shop discount grocery stores. I do at least 99.999% of food shopping between Aldi's, Trader Joe's and Dollar Tree.
2. I check grocery store flyers to compare for the lowest prices for everything I want. I meal plan by that and what's already in the pantry, fridge and freezer. I make a list from that and only buy what's on it.
3. If I see something on sale that I like and use regularly, I'll buy as much as I can to stock the pantry.
4. In the summer, when fruits and veggies are lower priced, I buy all I can and dehydrate for the winter what I don't eat while it's fresh.
5. I also try to eat only 2/3 of what I want to eat. Sometimes that works; sometimes it doesn't, but I keep trying. 6.Never let food go to waste. Eat it before it goes bad, or freeze it or dehydrate it. Freezing is good for a whole lot more foods than you may think. You can can foods, too, if you learn how and buy the equipment.
7. Eat leftovers.
8. Forage. Almost every place you can live has something that can be foraged. Right now, I have dandelions and violets in my yard. A neighbor has black walnuts that fall in my yard. I used to have blackberry bushes at another home. I've had neighbors with pear and apple trees that produced so much fruit they couldn't handle all of it, so the shared a lot with me. Once I lived where there was a persimmon tree along the road, so I got those...etc. Look for free food.
9. Grow a garden, even if it's just a few plants in a planter indoors. Herbs are good for that, but I try anything I want.
10. Use coupons. I don't do extreme couponing because that can take as much time as a full-time job. I do look over flyers that come in the mail and use the ones for things I buy anyway. They can save a lot.
11. Use digital coupons. Check store websites, get on their email lists, or whatever they want you to do to get their digital coupons.
12. Try cooking experiments to use up little dibs and dabs of things you have on hand.
@@jonnaborosky8836 Thank for for all your tips, I’m always looking for new ideas.
if I may share? -
1. Cooking - Outside in summer with hot plate (1 inherited, 1 yardsale for $1) and a crockpot.
2. In winter, use crockpot but if I use the oven I turn it off 15 mins before recipe is done. Use remaining heat to warm the house.
3. Cooking pasta, I bring water to a boil, add pasta, bring it back to a boil then cover and turn off heat. I stir twice before done to stop clumping, replacing lid quickly each time.
4. Cooking from scratch. Though white rice is substantially less money, I’m more interested in nutrition, I use brown rice. Soak brown rice for 12hr, drain liquid, recover with water, repeat to just sprouted, cook. This destroys the phytic coating and allows the human to absorb all vitamins, minerals and energy the plant has store to regrow itself. Same with beans. They also require about 1/2 the usual cooking time.
5. I try to rotate grains. Helps less intolerance (gluten, etc). Greater nutrition also.
6. I keep a recipes for bare bones cost, low cost and medium cost. Okay, and once in a blue moon expensive if it goes on a deep sale cost, lol. Nutrition goes into the rating. When my son was little he liked hot dogs and kraft Mac and cheese. That would count as “once in a blue moon.” Kraft Mac and hot dogs were not the nutrition I was looking for, lol.
7. Freezer meals. Most meals could be doubled and then frozen. Great for quick, heat up meals. Refrigerator/Freezer clean out once every month.
8. In summer, especially on 90+ degree days, I had prepared cold meals. No cooking if I could help it except maybe the microwave.
9. I like to keep a minimum of a 3 months of food stockpiled in my cabinets, fridge and freezer. That way I “shop my pantry” and repurchase foods at rock bottom prices. Some weeks my food cost $5-10 and some $30-$50. Just last November, Mueller pasta had a sale, coupon & rebate. I could have stocked up on various pastas for $.15 lb. Though, I’ve had years where it was free for a year, crazy.
10. I’m careful to rotate food to use it before it goes bad or is even close.
11. I love chickweed, purslane and very young plantain leaves as a salad or added to a salad.
12. I haven’t done this but - when eggs are dirt cheap in spring you can “water glass” them so they will keep fresh for 1 year + without refrigeration. Check out homesteading family on YT.
@@kenyonbissett3512 Wow! All such great ideas. You can also freeze and dehydrate eggs. It's not suggested, but both work. There's also pickling, but I don't like pickled eggs.
I love how you keep costs down! I also turn off the heat before foods are done and let the residual heat finish the cooking. I want to get a sun oven.
I also shop my pantry, fridge and freezer. I don't go shopping every week. I go about every 2-3 weeks. I used to challenge myself to wait longer and longer in between grocery shoppings because every time we enter a store, that's another risk for impulse shopping. I got it to 6 weeks and decided to try for one more week. My cupboards were so extremely bare bones at that point. It was a mistake to try to wait. A huge ice storm hit and the roads were so bad for a couple of weeks that delivery trucks couldn't deliver food. I lived in an apartment complex that had a little convenience store in it. I could walk to it, but prices were 3x the cost of regular stores...and they were running out of food, too. That turned out to be not nutritious and very expensive. Lesson learned: don't try to wait longer than 6 weeks to shop. That was a long time ago. Now I have much larger stockpiles. I still don't want to wait that long.
I go for nutrition, too. Are you saying you let rice and beans actually sprout, or just get right up to the point where they're ready to? You can sprout any grain. Sprouted garlic is wonderful! And, as you know, anything sprouted is so much more nutritious than not sprouted. Do you sprout dried peas and lentils, too?
Thank you for sharing your tips! I have a feeling that if we were neighbors, we'd be good friends!
@@jonnaborosky8836 sorry for not responding quicker! Sprouting just as the first little tails pop out. YT stealthlikeafox shows you how, short & sweet and its benefits in “How to Sprout Brown Rice”, excellent information (4:50mins). Cuts cooking time by about 2/3. All beans can be sprouted. If you have a strong blender like a vitamix, you can blend dry beans to make a quick soup or nutritious thickener. The only exception is Kidney Beans. The soups are fast to make just add water and heat through. Now, remember you still have the phytic properties that bind with magnesium, zinc, etc. canned beans are not soaked and so still have phytic properties which also cause gas in beans. The longer they are soaked or sprout stops the gas/farts.
If you have thought of anything you missed previously, I am happy to read more of your tips.
I buy bulk vegetables, cut them, put them in bags and freeze them in the freezer. You can't eat a kilo of carrots in 2-3 days before they spoil and then throw them away, but by freezing them, you always have them stored and ready for cooking. This way I always have all ingredients for a tomato sauce in the fridge and can prepare the sause in 15-20 minutes.
My best kitchen friend is my dehydrator. I am always dehydrating veggies to use later. They will keep for years if stored properly.
My library is 15 cents to print a page but that is still far cheaper then buying a printer and ink. I live in rural America, cars are a must. I consolidate trips, I make a list and get all my errands done while out to help save gas and my time.
Independent coffee shops! Yes. Buy local all that you can.
Get a slow cooker.....usually means you are batch cooking without realising and can freeze a good few portions/meals.
We now gift slow cookers to the youngsters in the family when they get their own flats/houses.... All of them appreciate it, especially when they realise the cost of food and utilities 😁
I do not buy new clothes anymore. Haven't done it for 15 years. I have a classier wardrobe now for much less money.. I recently stopped driving because my eyes are going bad. I gave my car to my great-granddaughter who now has three children in car seats. She needs the SUV. i NOW RELY ON FAMILY members who will run errands for me. Everybody is happy. I like your examples of frugal living.
The number one thing I do in the spring and summer is to have several garage sales and sell old clothes and items that I no longer use. I easily make about $350 to $500 in two days. I also sell small food items like cupcakes and hotdogs. I give away free popcorn so the word spreads around. People love cheap and free stuff!
In the US, Amazon changes the prices if the items sit in your cart too long. To overcome that I save the original price listing as a favorite page first before I put it into my cart. when I come back to purchase, if the price has gone up I delete the item, and then go to my saved page and put it back into my cart from there to buy it.
I avoid take-out because of the packaging--all that plastic makes me wince. It's much easier to throw some pasta in boiling water...and then I save take-out for only when I truly want it.
Just make SURE that after a LIFETIME of being Frugal;The money you've saved,after you're gone, doesn't end up with someone who's NOT Frugal!And THEY squander all of YOUR hard to save money!THAT happened to my M.D.Uncle!!I'm preaching to myself too!!THERE'S GOTTA BE A BALANCE!!
I used to spend $55/month for cell service, but switched to a data based plan that is less than$25 and only use cellular when WiFi is not available. I also have the least expensive WiFi at $44 monthly. I increased my deductible on my car insurance and reduced my reported mileage when I realized I drove 4000 miles less annually than previously saving $50 annually. I cook 95% of my meals at home. Not only do I save money, but lost weight. I stopped buying wine. That one bottle weekly saves me more than $500 yearly.
I love the Dollar Tree!! I have saved so much money shopping there for items such as seasonal decor, gift wrap, gift bags, kitchen items and so on 😊
If you do have to drive be conscious of how you drive. If you drive a bit more conservatively (around 60mph say on the motorway) and ease off the accelerator rather than harsh braking etc you can easily get another 100 miles to a tank of fuel
love the swapping streaming services idea
I’m glad I stumbled on this. Investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life. Working multiple jobs for money isn’t the optimal way to attain financial freedom. Unfortunately, we find this out later in life. Great video.
I’ve also thought about this as a means of earning more but I’m clueless on how to go about it, but I’m keen on getting started. What’s your story?
I just did, and I have to be honest, I’m quite impressed. Thanks again.
@@KallleeFrom my experience it’s about understanding the market and volatility, but that’s difficult to do without help and guidance.
I have a different issue as I’ve been following several videos on investing and taking huge losses. Can sir levi assist me?
The 30 days rule always works for me 😊
I made the following changes to save money
1.I use the car only when I have to transport children in child seats, all other matters, such as shopping, are done by riding a bicycle.
2. I gave up on alcohol (used to be 1 beer in the evening it was the standard)
3.I cook dishes that will last for 2 or even 3 days. For example, instead of buying ready-made chicken breasts, I buy a whole chicken and have meat for meals for 2 days and from leftovers I burn soup and have a meal for the next day.
4.I gave up sweets. Instead, I make a large cake that lasts up to five days.
I just found your channel, I am so glad I did. Great tips, thank you. Regards from South Africa. 🇿🇦
Thank you , I am happy with many of the tips you mentioned and I am going to try them , to save money.
Really helpful tips! Thanks for sharing with us! I'm definitely going to try the rotating of subscriptions one
Brilliant tips. Thank you. I’m like you, I’d rather put more into what matters
New Subscriber! Because someone else gave you such a great review. Kindness counts!
thanks for this video mate. gonna use some of these the first tip was great.
Really good tips. I shop the loss leader sales and buy one get one from my Grocery.
I’m also always watching for sales of products I regularly use.
Love my Farmers Markets too
Very helpful and very well done plus you speak very well and not too fast and everything is common sense
Thank you
Thank you for sharing that you're a successful business owner. ( this first video I watch). Best Wishes, always.
Great presentation, I needed reminding of saving extra food portions. Never done the selling unwanted stuff,will now try. Although I always try to mend and re-purpose, so not sure I have much anyone would want.
& Charity Shops ! Not all is used stuff, I helped out at one and I was surprised at the good condition of stuff & that brand new stuff was donated.
Great video and info. And I appreciate your voice. I can listen at 2x and completely understand everything you're saying. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you...great ideas!
Some of those tips are very good and I going to try them thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for sharing this information . May God continue to move you to help others.🌺
Great advise! Will definitely try a 1 month no spending challenge. Thank you so much
Very informative thank you, liked and subscribed
I loved the rotate your Subs idea. I would add to the list of things to ask yourself before buying something - Am I bored? If so you shouldn't buy anything at that time except maybe a book. Subbed and looking forward to more great content.
Great tips! As for batch cooking for one person, I actually find it more beneficial now that I live alone. Some meals are no more work to make two or three portions, and it may not seem worth the effort to make only one.
I put an item in my cart on Duluth Trading and in a couple of days it popped up with a 20% discount. Not sure if it was coincidence, but it works for me!
Great production quality
Great video. I'm currently doing a $100 budget for this month, which includes groceries (obvious excludes basic bills). I'm also not driving my car this month, though I'm fortunate to live close to my job and can get rides from friends if needed. I cook quite a bit and grew up on leftovers, so I'm all about that. Good tips, including those in the comments. Thanks!
So many good ideas!
Thank you😍
Subbed and liked for the algorithm. Hope you blow up cause you deserve it. The first couple thousands are the hardest
I subscribed too. Was surprised how low the view count was.
Same! Great video!
New sub. Thanks for all the Good ideas. Nice presentation also.
I'm frugal anyway, but this is a great video with great ideas on how to save money.
Yes mate! One more tip from me would be to always look out in the supermarket for items that are marked down just because there near use by date. These dates are not very accurate so you can save money on this. 👍🏻
The “no spend rule” is how I live 😂😂. Really helps save money
Good advice, my husband and I have recently moved to the north east of England to retire early, but found that rather than downsizing we could buy a house twice the size for half the price. My main hobbies now revolve around saving money and I love it. The hobby that's probably saved me the most money is making my own homemade country wines, which is a lot easier than many people would think.
Woah!! I did not know how Frugal I actually am!!
I would add,Foraging Wild foods!!
.l live near a city,but I can still find wild foods/herbs that are full of vitamins,minerals,micro-nutrients,phyto-,flavour and non-GMO!!
I also dry/pickle/tincture/ferment/freeze a lot of what I forage in Spring,Summer and Autumn,to keep me Healthy through the Winter months as well.
Herbal remedies for my own use,I have bad Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue,and these are what I use rather than the GP upping everything else I have to take.
Oh,I also made my own water-filter,as tap-water makes me really ill,I think due to everything that is added to it,especially fluoride,which is a neuro-toxin and hasn't helped me keep my teeth,despite brushing properly and Dental check-ups.....
I make jams,jellies and teas and my own wines too.
(wine can be a bit hit and miss,but, -great fun to see Mr Dingbatts' face when I've made a particularly awful one!)
If you are too tired after work and don't feel like cooking, spend a little bit of the weekend to Prepare and Freeze as many meals as you need,or use a Crock-Pot to make easy stews,soups,etc...
I ought to bake my own bread too,but honestly I'm absolutely terrible,luckily I have a friend who's great at baking so we swap items!
Thank you for taking the time to make and upload these videos!* New Sub here!!
Some great tips mate. Nice to see younger people realizing that money is hard to come by. Don't waste it. I'm 53 and have always been careful with money. work too hard to waste it. Remember it's easier to sped money than earn it ,
Great presentation, Jonny! Thank you. The tips I have adopted and adapted over the past seven years since retirement (disability), my wife and I are saving over $1250/mo (USD) from our working years. Common sense is not always common practice.
great tips!
We definitely rotate subscriptions. We only have one at a time and then when we get a new one it's always exciting!
Love some of these and actually have put them into my life before seeing this video. When I got to the veg one and you mention living in a flat it actually reminded me of a friend of mine. She would love to have a garden but doesn't have the option. Since she is also watching her money and wanted to find a way to save on food bills she actually looked into hydro gardens. In the long run it's been worth the investment especially with all the things going on all over the world. Could be a possibility for you since it doesn't take up much space.
@@jonnyslife very welcome
First time here
Thanks for only asking for that “Like” halfway through your video
I’ll be a regular now!
Thanks for the valuable tips!!
An additional three questions before a purchase: what does this thing do? Meaning - break it down to the basic function. I may be considering purchasing a new eyeshadow, for example...what does this do? It is color for my eyelids. Second question: Do I already have something that does this? Yes. Third question: if I already have something that does this, what is motivating me to purchase this thing? Usually, marketing and fomo.
Read a fun tip for eyeshadow. You can add water and use it to paint. Great for expired or unwanted colors.
I am moving into my converted sprinter van soon to save money. I’m also planning to buy an ebike so that when I’m parked if it’s too far to walk (I’m disabled) I can ride the bike. I’ve installed power that comes from my starter battery & just got solar as well. That way I don’t have to connect to electric. I use a water filter at home instead of buying water. Make my own pour over coffee. Make leftovers so I don’t have to cook all week. Use my instant pot instead of my stove. I always shop at thrift stores& yard sales. Sell stuff I’m not using/wearing anymore. I’m hoping to still be able to grow herbs while living in the van. Everything in my van build was either free, from thrift stores, FB market place, or from Habitat For Humanity shops. I love having nice things and doing so frugally!
Hi!
I just discovered your channel I all the videos I've watched are amazing great and useful. THANK YOU
As you mentioned on the video that you have a coffee shop, could you make a video talking about your coffee shop and the journey of opening the business and some advices.
Opening a coffee shop is my dream from many many years but I feel I don't have enough knowledge and courage
Thanks again for you time and videos
I love them
Very well done!
I like the tip rotate subscriptions! Thank you
I turn my furnace heat way down and use a space heater on medium to heat the space I'm currently using to watch TV, use computer, read, etc. It saves a lot in fuel bills. (As long as the pipes don't freeze!)
Good work mi laddy
A wonderful video!! I'll keep this as a resource when I move
Hello,I like your introduction,visuals,examples,tips & calm vibe.I take pride in being frugal.My mom was frugal,practical & smart.Her ways rubbed off on me.I like to save money by:
Using plastic & paper grocery bags,to line trash bins
I cut down on buying fast foods
Use toilet tissue to blow my nose,etc.
Buy new,yet slightly defective items
I exercise at home & outdoors
I drink drink,or smoke,which saves me $
I clean my apt.,instead of hiring an apt. cleaner.
I buy less fresh produce & more frozen foods.
I mostly hang dry,my laundry.I use cheap dish detergent,to cleanse my hands.
I use liquid laundry detergent,as a spot remover.
I use natural light more often,night lights & adhesive push button lights
I use artificiall flowers,instead of live flowers.
Oh,my teen daughter & I,play,Hide & Seek.Hide & Seek,was my favorite childhood game.Thanks for the useful video.
We are fascinated by American.s obsession with clothes dryers.Sun drying is the way to go.Great tips but wouldn.t be caught dead with fake flowers.They are hideous dust catchers.They even make cemetries ugly.
My local library has free tickets to museums. Free/cheap date nights for sure
I’m retired now and wish that I had implemented your suggestions many years ago. If I had, I would be much better off financially than I am now. Thanks for sharing your ideas…. I know they work.
PS: I love your couch!
I love the couch too!!
Car issue doesn't apply everywhere. If you live in a small country or a major metropolitan area like London or New York City that works great, but for others that doesn't work. And not every country has great public transportation either.
I don't need to drive every day, but when I do go out, I try to add other errands on that same day. And I try to go to the stores that are closest to me whenever possible.
Interesting that you mention the delivery and home meal apps. Very few "frugal tips" videos do. A lot of people actually think using those apps is cheaper and they'er probably correct if they compare those to going out for dinner. Cooking your own meals from scratch will however always be a lot cheaper and if you do larger batches as pointed out, you even can cut on the time required and have meals throughout the week.
I use many of these tips..
My strategy is to think annually. If I see my favorite non perishable item on sale Buy a years worth!
Car insurance is cheaper if you pay it all at once
Sometimes store brands are made by name brands.
Dumpster dive in rich neighborhoods or construction sites
Hi i was very impressed by your list . More than happy to try a few thanks
I thought the best tip for me was to rotate my subscriptions. I have probably 4 to 5 subscriptions but basically watch Netflix. Thanks!
I am in the USA. Biggest tip ever around here, is to change car and house insurance every year! It’s always cheeper to get started, but the prices raise substantially every year. Sometimes I am too busy, and forget. Anyway, I went through all this, and saved thousands in one year! Also, I didn’t know, just living together we could save. Like our car insurance was 1300 and 900 together. Anyway, I was able to combine, now we both have full coverage for about 1000 per year, cut the price in less than half.
Hi there!! Everybody who is interested in : Winter nature apparently spares Ur budget :Nature frost keeps Ur products fresh while cold seasons ...Ur refrigerators gonna have vacationtime next year. .
I picked up a couple of the carafes from Ikea so i can fill them up with tap water to put in the fridge, saves on buying bottled water and saves on plastic.
I unplug appliances that are not in use (coffee pot, microwave, electric kettle, air fryer, etc - even the washing machine.) This easily saves me $30+ a month on electricity. People think that because an item is not running, it is not using electricty, but that is not true. You can also plug things into a power strip and just disconnect the power supply to devices by flipping the switch (like the TV, gaming system, dvd player etc - I flip one switch to make sure they're not sucking phantom electricity just from being plugged in) If you're skeptical, try it one month, you've got nothing to lose.
I was on the phone the other day with a fellow Boy Scout from South Dakota, the doorbell rang, a guy with a clip board talking electricity, I asked what he was selling, he said nothing, I said everyone is selling something, I told him he could talk to me while he pulls some of the weeds I had. He went away, I guess he didn't like weed pulling as much as I do. Put their butts to work, don't let them give you a sales pitch for free.
Quite clever!!!
I freeze eggs. I break them open into an ice cube tray. When frozen, l put them in small zip lock bags (2 per bag)
I'll do svrable eggs w/ chopped veggies for omelets, just freeze it in a ziplock! 😁
I never have frozen eggs, tho I freeze just about everything else sine I live alone. Can't eat everything before it spoils so a lot go in the freezer.
I had no idea you could freeze eggs. Gonna give that a go!
I never considered rotating streaming services, I guess I always wanted as many options as possible... but now that I think about it, I don't use HBO Max very often, and it's about $15/month. I'll try cancelling my subscription and see how long I go without even thinking about it!
Repair not replace, that's hit home
Mrs Anna is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Anna thought I' m the only one trading with her
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
She’s technical analysis is dope and her interpretation/projections of the market is so accurate I sometimes ask myself if he is human haha. Point is, Anna is the perfect trader to follow for advise and daily signals
OMG!! you know Miss Anna too wow, she is really a good trader, she is my portfolio manager, her strategy are top notch.
You make a lot of sence,, But I live in the U.S. and in the country,, it's a must to have a car
Cool video, I also try to buy in bulk such as at Costco (I live in the US but idk if you have it in the UK). It usually comes out cheaper to buy a gallon of dish soap than buying small bottles every other week. Of course the only downside is you have to have the space to store the items.
@@jonnyslife Good point! The way I sort of get around it is I transfer the item to a smaller container so I kind of trick myself into thinking I have less. But yeah I see how having a lot of something’s could be a problem.
@@jonnyslife I have a pump bottle that only expresses a small amount at a time with each pump for my dish soap. It has really helped my to use way less when I wash the dishes.
Time rules actually work.
Love your ideas. We just joined a bj grocery store. Did our weekly shopping there. It's like Sam's club or Costco. We usually spend $225 per week. Well bjs cost us 175.00 and some items we bought in bulk. Gas prices were 50 cents per gallon cheaper. We only eat fresh veggies and fruit prime cut beef chicken. Never hardly eat out. We live frugally.
Hey Jonathan, can you please make a video of the crypto card that you mentioned ?
Start little plants in little pots instead of buying a beautiful (quadruple priced) potted plant, OR go outside with a trowel or strong spoon and your little pot and dig up a wayward fern or weed. Some weeds make lovely houseplants.
Make it super hard for yourself to impulse purchase - delete your saved debit/credit card/PayPal details, log out of Amazon/eBay/Etsy/whatever online store is your worst offender and clear cookies so it can't remember your password. An impulse purchase is so much less impulse if you have to remember passwords, go to the other room and input card details. Much less fun and sometimes that gap is enough to make you realise you don't need the shiny thing
Absolutely love these tips! My actual cable company gives me HBO max for free so I don’t pay for that my Verizon cell phone company gives me the Disney+ bundle which includes Hulu for free I don’t have to pay for either one of those either and they gave me discovery plus free for six months after that it’s just five US dollars per month which I can totally handle but I absolutely love. People should check with their cable and their cell phone companies to see if they can get any subscriptions for free because some of the companies actually do that in your package and it doesn’t raise the price at all
I miss your videos 🥺
My mother would unplug items that didn't need to be plugged in (toaster, microwave, radio, etc) until she needed to use the item. It saved so much that the power company was forced to only charge the minimum. Which was $35 per month. I'm working on it but... Lol
The accent 😊
In older cities in the US, a lot of apartments are still heated by radiators. Since you have close neighbors running their radiators, you typically don't need to turn yours on at all, especially if the temperature is set by the landlord. In my experience, the radiators are set so hot that I could walk around in my bikini in January. I had one apartment where I kept the radiator off all winter and others where only the bathroom radiators were on. And it was room temperature in my apartment all winter.
Oh that’s interesting and a little strange about landlords setting the temperature.
Great tips but I have to disagree with turning the heating completely off in unused rooms - without heat and air circulating mould can develop causing damage to property (costly) and more importantly causing health conditions.
I guess that depends on where you are living. I haven't used my heater for over a year! But.... I live where there is low humidity and fairly warm temperatures compared to many other places.
For me, let’s just set a no buy challenge for one day.
I cut and colour my own hair at home.
Me too! And my hair is quite fine so I only use half the pack of dye which gives me plenty but less messy and saves a few quid too
I do as well, and luckily, it all works out! It use to regularly cost me almost $200 each time. Now I use Madison Reed hair color and bought some great hair cutting scissors from Amazon. Watched a few TH-cam tutorials on cutting hair, and all good! Not to mention the time I use to have to allow to set an appointment, etc. Good for you too on doing this!
