My frugal tips include: - look for discounts on fresh produce close to the expiration date (many stores where I live offer 30% or even 50% off, also the Too Good To Go app has plenty of opportunities) then cook and freeze; - if possible, grow vegetables at home/learn how to recognize edible wild plants (such as wild plums, mulberries, dandelion or nettles) in the woods or countryside; - create a circle with friends to share used clothes; - time the purchases you anticipate making strategically, in order to take advantage of sales and avoid temptations; - bring lunch to work/lessons from home - it's often healthier, besides being the frugal option; - bring an aluminum/glass water bottle to refill, avoid spending on bottled water.
Frugal living things, I use big bottle Dawn liquid dish soap it takes grease away it last me 2 yrs only for dishes, I save lots of money. .... thank you so much the tips help me alot.
My frugal living tips here in zambia is that as women we put money together and buy common grocery from wholesalers and share the grocery. I find it cheaper that way. Am able to save for 2 months and buy again, same can apply with other need. Skip saloon visits by plaiting hair that can last Keeping birds like chickens helps too,
Great tips. I use the NewAir radiant heater (Amazon) in my home office where I spend most of my day, rather than turning up the furnace that heats the entire floor.
Make things last..for example if you like white leather tennis shoes ..As soon as you buy leather shoes spray a light layer of WD 40.. the book on different ways to use WD-40 can be purchased on eBay for less than $6... using this method I have a pair of Skechers that have lasted 8 years and look wonderful
I make up menus for 2 weeks. Then I go through my refigerator and pantry to see if I have what I need to make those meals. If I am missing an ingredient, I put it on my list. When you make your list, I put the items in groups. The first section in my store is produce, so I put all of the produce first. Also, if you stay on the outside walls of the store, you will save a lot of money. These are usually produce, dairy, canned goods, bread, and frozen items. Most of the junk food is in the middle of the store and by the checkout and the height of children in the cart. Good luck!
I pledged to buy no new or used clothes during August and putting what's left toward savings after financial obligations are met. I am definitely a bulk/prep cooker, Sunday is my day to cook lunch for the week at work.
As a guy, I've saved a bunch by cutting my own hair! I cut it short & use an electric clipper, quick & easy! As long as I am physically able, I will never have to pay for hair care again!
Having a a list of meals that cover the month and shopping based on that list. Because I leave it so open-ended it gives me a lot of flexibility and keeps us from ordering out
Thank you for the great tips Bola. I have learnt to ask what the store's return policy is before I buy the item. Some places do store credit or final sales where you are stuck with your purchase. It's much easier to be aware.
1. most insurance companies base your rates on your credit score so get your score as high as feasible and make sure the details they have about your vehicle, home, rental, etc is correct....2. be sure you know and understand all deductions taken from your paycheck (if you get a paycheck) - such as taxes, insurances, dues, garnishments, retirement, child support, etc - and make sure they are correct, adjust if possible to increase your take home pay to make your budget work or divert into savings....3. know what you get for free or cheap through your health/dental/etc insurance and use those free benefits - ex. dental cleanings per year, mammogram, well baby, prostate screening, vaccines, basic dental exam, etc...if you get a free dental exam and cleaning per year per person in your household, but you don't go, you're wasting all that free money....if you're not going to use the benefits consider changing your insurance...4. look at your company benefits, if any - wellness programs, matching contributions to retirement funds, reimbursement for training/degree/higher education/certification, etc. and use them!...5. if you're 55+ yrs old, check into a senior safe driver program (I took mine through AARP) approved by your state (in usa) dept of transportation....8 hour first time in person good for 3 yrs, then a 4 hour renewal online (about $17) every 3 yrs , it seems like participating insurance companies must give you 5%/year off your vehicle insurance in most states...

These sound really 👍

This is my mantra! 👏 Always live below your means. Also new cars decrease by 20% in the first year!
Yessss

I am in the process of selling my house and moving to a cheaper area outside London. I already worked out I will be saving £500 a month.
Well done!!
I'm a huge fan of selling things! I also am not a name-brand person.
Yay thanks for sharing that
I want to sell my things but it's carving out the time to set up an account, take pics of the items and post. Any leads on seller friendly sites?

Same old, same old. Not even anything new for her.
