    Yes, I’ve wasted money on food. Going to the grocery store without a list and buying everything. Only to have it spoil in 2 weeks. I have shoes on my list right now to buy with no place to go. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

    I definitely ate out way too much which adds up so quickly! Have been doing a lot better investing in groceries and trying not to waste any food, and making all my meals at home.

    I am ashamed and guilty of taking meat out of freezer and not cooking immediately and it goes bad. I've just started cooking some meats i.e...chicken legs and baking and storing cooked to use later in stews or soups. That kind of waste is sinful.

    I am so guilty of food waste. I was sad when i cleaned out the fridge. All the food that had gone bad because my picky eaters wont eat . This past week i have decided to only grocery shop weekly verses buying bulk then making sure we eat what is in the fridge before i cook new meals. Meals are just a challenge in my home. I'm always thinking breakfast, lunch, dinner , school snacks you name it. I wonder if am the only mom who is still figuring this meal situation out.
    We had then replace our carpet and had to take all our furniture and belongings out of our room for the carpet guys to come install the new carpets. The work is beautiful but i have anxiety just looking at all the stuff we have. I am dreading moving stuff back in . I want to hold on to the space we have but am not sure how to beat this challenge. This video is handy. Thank you for sharing.

    I’ve been following you for a year now...although I am not much of an internet ‘follower’. You have been the saving grace in some really tough kinda times. My awareness of my financial situation is the only thing saving me from the chaos. Spending journal is most eye opening. Anyways....tonight you were funny. Keep it up. The funny is what makes me really question myself as a ‘ funny and must save’ kinda lady!!! Heehee

    Don't buy into the myth that you can't eat expired food.... those dates are to protect the manufacturer, not you....most expired food can be safely eaten well past the date...or at least give the food to someone who is happy to have food beyond the date if you refuse to eat it

    5 workout bottoms...when I only really need 2.

    I know some people who have almost every streaming service. I got Disney+ which comes with Hulu and ESPN+ and my sister have Netflix. We split the bills for both. I couldn't tell you the last time I went shopping, I had to nip that in the bud pre-pandemic.
    I love buying snacks out the vending machine at work.

    My rule for streaming is no more than 3 tv services at a time in my rotation and I keep track of what I am watching, and pause or cancel one before adding a new one, this seems to work for me cause I generally know what I am going to watch, what is worth paying for, anyway this keeps me in the price range that works for me.

    Buying food!
    I strongly dislike cooking and rarely ever have the time to cook working a full time nanny job and two other part-time jobs.
    I work at Bath & Body Works as my side hustle job which I love. However, the food court is super convenient and I always end up buying from there as it’s in the mall where I work.
    I try to buy from the grocery store, but between my strong loathing of cooking, 10 hour work days, and I’m not able to cook things in the kitchen I work full time at (my nanny family keeps kosher so I can only use the microwave), it’s become very difficult to cook food from the grocery store.
    I’m open to any ideas/advice though.

    • @joitwotheworld
