Through the end of May, I am at $3039 for expenses this year. $590 of it, is food. Walk or hike everywhere, so I have on spent $45 on gasoline since late February. I will eventually be spending more money as I am working on the yard. Planning on planting fruit bearing trees and grow some vegetables. Being frugal is like a game to me, so I never really feel like I am being deprived.
@@BrianK-zz4fkThat is true for fruit trees but berries produce pretty quickly. I planted dwarf raspberries bushes, blueberries and thornless dwarf blackberries. They were producing after the second year. I planted an apple and pear tree four years ago. We are still waiting for fruit.
I got some new shampoo on sale and it was terrible on my hair. I decided to use it as toilet cleaner. My bathroom smells nice when I use it. Soap is soap.
I take 1 stick of butter softened, a half a cup of olive oil and blend them in the blender. Then scrape into a container, put in fridge to harden. I have spreadable butter!
LOL, I'm in a studio. I'm very happy here. I had a reinspect because I didn't pass last week. My parents helped me get rid of so much stuff. But the property manager was so happy, and the one casae manager said "I've never seen your apartment look like this". It looks like I just moved in. You know, I don't really need that much. My entertainment is mostly on the computer. I love NetFlix and Disney+. I don't have cable either. I get digital books too. My prized possession though is my large print, Bible. It's very nice, and I can still read it.
I made a list of all my expenses and vowed to trim at least 10% off every single one of them. It became a game to see how much I could cut without actually sacrificing the item. I didn't try to lower my rent but my landlord hasn't raised it since I moved in 6 years ago so I call that a win. I shopped around and found better prices on insurance, phone, internet, utilities and food. I learned to cook, mend clothes and do home maintenance myself. When you cut a little off of everything, it doesn't even seem like such a big change.
I dry my clothes on dry racks and outside on the line..i put regular fans on the indoor racks and i can dry a load in about 4 hours. My clothes dryer broke last fall, and i refused to buy another one. My electric bill was reduced by $100 each month . Winning.
The biggest savings for women will come from stop buying clothes and shoes. You have enough. Stop going to the salons for manicures and monthly hair cuts. Just get your hair cut a few times per year. And color your grey roots at home. All that will save you hundreds per month.
@@AnnMitt I don't do any of those things. I don't have the money. I wear my clothes until they are wore thin. I don't color my hair because I am allergic to it. I just live with the gray. I trim my hair myself. Guess I am saving a lot.
Entertainment is also another expense category that people could reduce or eliminate all together with free things. For some reason Americans think they’re not being entertained if they’re not paying money. During the recession my daughter and I found so many free things to do that were super fun, from concerts in the park, street fairs, free museum days, free festivals, programs at the library, etc. and then there is also hiking, biking, beachcombing or wandering around the lake picking up treasures, things like that. Be creative. Be a hometown tourist in your own town or your own county. As one reader said, make it fun, make it a game.
I have a partial roll of paper towels that has lasted me over a year, probably over 2 years. Most of what I've used has been used to clean up messes when my cat has gotten sick. I have a bidet bottle. I use 1 teaspoon of laundry per load. There's a repair person who says that too much laundry detergent is bad for washing machines. My hair is dry so I can go fairly long between shampoos. I only wear makeup if I'm leaving the house. I use very little,. My laundry goes on a drying rack and on towel bars. It also goes on plastic hangers and gets hung on the shower rod. I use butter instead of margarine. I buy it when it's on sale and put it in the freezer. I average $75 per month per adult for groceries. I use baking soda and white vinegar for cleaning. I use old T-shirts cut up and microfiber clothes for cleaning. I've bought one new sweater on sale this year. I was filling in a gap I had. I had been looking for awhile. I go to the grocery store once every 10 days-2 weeks. Thanks to a tip from you I just got my internet bill cut form $60 to $35 per month. That's good for a year. I'm paying $20 for my cell phone bill with the same company.
As I stated before. I burn my cardboard, compost , wash out food containers and recycled those. Then with what is left I take it to the land fill myself. I have a neighbor who let's me put 2 bags a week in their can. I get them a gas card once every 5 or 6 months.
Burning is not an option for everyone. In my country you brake the law if you burn anything. Which is ok because they take everything and it's like 5 dollars a month.
@bettinak.4 I only burn cardboard in a firepit in my backyard. Our trash pickup without recycling is 30.00 per month. I am lucky my neighbor let's me put 2 bags a week in her can. I give her a gas card once or twice a year for 25.00 dollars. I save a lot of money this way.
I buy my clothes at thrift stores and garage sales but can’t believe how much they smell like laundry detergent !!! Yes people use to much it’s shocking . I actually have to often soak the clothes in water and vinegar to get the smell out! I use unscented laundry soap since my daughter was a baby 37 years ago she had infantile eczema.
The thrift stores wash the clothes in all that awful endocrine disrupting chemical soup. We don’t use detergents in our house because we break out in rash and hives. So, we use soap nuts, aka soap berries. One little muslin bag and 5 soap berries lasts for five loads. WAY cheaper than laundry detergent and healthier. We use vinegar for the rinse cycle. No smell on clothes at all, and vinegar is a great fabric softener. Plus it cleans your washer instead of gunking it up with detergent and fabric softener residues! Win win!
I had to stop my trash pickup. I take my trash to my sister’s house or to work with me. I use dog food bags for trash bags. I buy 20 lbs of dog food and they fit in my trash can perfectly. I don’t have stinky trash , no food and I rinse and dry any cans I use. I use cloth napkins and don’t buy paper towels. I have a bidet and buy very little toilet paper. I got it from Amazon for about $40. A friend of mine installed it very easily. I’m recently divorced after 18 years of marriage. My life has changed drastically lately and I’m really trying to get a handle on things.
I have marble floors and clean with only water. No detergents of any kind. We have been warned by the manufacturer to never use anything on it. Water cleans well on its own.
I use cheap shampoo and conditioner. Sometimes I brave a new scent. If I don't like the conditioner scent, it gets used for cleaning paint brushes. I had to share since you're frequently remodeling. I was surprised to learn to use conditioner in art classes. It really helps make paint brushes last for years of projects.... if it's cleaned before the paint dries.
I use lots of rags and old clothes for cleaning up. And I, too, have napkins for dining. I have been doing it for many years. I used to find them for pennies years ago at thrift stores. Now they are becoming very popular so hard to find. I'll make my own if need be.
I just use my old towels and T shirts. Way cheaper to clean up a spilled beer with an old towel than a bucks worth of paper towels. lol They I throw the towel in the washer or use the tub to wash it.
When I was growing up, we only got paper bags at the grocery. My mom would double bag, put it in a small bin, and once it was full, she'd slide another paper bag over the top, and secure it with twine. We never, ever just dumped our garbage into the outside bin. Rhode Island recently enacted a law that stores can't use plastic anymore so we get paper if we don't bring our own bags. I'm thinking of going back to the old way and using paper bags for trash.
Make your own foaming hand soaps by putting a 1/4 inch of dish soap in your foaming hand soap pump bottle and then fill with water, leaving room for the pump mechanism obviously. Put the top back on and mix gently by turning the bottle upside down and right-side up several times. Wala, foaming hand soap at a fraction of the cost.
I started researching all items I buy. I was very surprised how easy it is to just make things like mayonnaise. It takes 15 seconds literally with the immersion blender. Brown sugar is just molasses added to sugar, powder sugar I put sugar in a coffee grinder for 11 seconds. We have been so conditioned to buy things that are so easy to make. Jelly is super easy too and a 1/8 of the price.
@@PrepperPrincess I make mine with 1 egg, 1/2 tsp salt, 1Tbsp apple cider vinegar, a couple drops of lemon juice and 1 cup of oil. Blend it for 15 seconds with an immersion blender.. done. I use avocado oil and it tastes exactly like what they sell at Costco for $9 a jar.
We own our home, like you I think our biggest bill is our heath insurance. We are in Australia our groceries for everything in the house foods, cat food, detergents, shampoo whatever we spend $280.00 a month for two oldies and a fat cat. I don't know how that compares to in the USA . I know people can't believe that is all we spend a month and we don't go without anything.
Our municipality will not allow binned trash to be unbagged. We are only allowed to put recyclables unbagged into the recycle bin. I reuse and recycle as much as possible. We no longer get plastic bags from the stores, and have to pay for paper bags. I do use those paper bags for trash and put them into the larger trash bags.
Re: the bidet water doesn't come from the toilet bowl! (For those that are confused😊) It comes from the water supply pipe...same principle as your shower! You can even buy the "heated" bidets! Honestly, you get used to it if you DO NOT use a heated bidet. 😂 And they aren't that expensive. Just shop for one in your budget.
I have saved so much ££ by following the tips on this channel, am v grateful. I now use scrunched-up newspaper (from the free local newspaper) to wipe up any yucky messes, instead of paper towel. I make sure the washing machine & dishwasher is as full as poss before using. I dilute washing-liquids once i've used 1/4 of the bottle. I add 2 spoonfuls of instant coffee to my bag of roast coffee; no noticeable change to taste.
We buy paper towels (because my husband still uses paper towels) and trash bags at Dollar Tree. And we use a bidet and cloth wipes instead of toilet paper.
As for paper towels, I use dish cloths. I make my own laundry soap that cost 1.00 per gallon. Look on line for recipes with Phelps Naptha,washing soda, and 20 mule team borax. I also wear my clothes more than once except for underwear, and wash clothes by hand and line dry.
Once a week I wash my hair with half cup apple cider vinegar and half cup water. I add shampoo, a bit and wash my hair once a week. I can go almost 4 to 5 days without washing my hair as it leaves it so squeaky clean stripping all the residue from oils, mousse, gels. I recommend it a lot.
I've been following you for quite awhile, but I don't remember, or can't find what got you into debt in the first place, and what was the rock bottom that made you change your habits? My mom lived during the Great Depression, so I grew up being frugal, and hubby and I retired early because we're savers. I also prepped at the beginning of the pandemic, so i pretty much need nothing, except for fresh fruits and veggies. We don't eat out as much anymore, and we spend our money on experiences. We take advantage of free things and discounts. Being from NYC, I've been able to experience all the culture that others around the world would love to do, but can't. I'm proud of myself for making it to my 60s without being poor.
Grocery bags fit in a small can. Try to notice what you are throwing away, and buy things that have less wasteful packaging. You can use washcloths or rags instead of lots of napkins and paper towels. Unless it's very stinky, try not to throw out the bag until it's full. Try composting things like produce peels.
Pluto, Tubi are also free streaming services, I have done away with tissues, napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, I've made all of them with leftover cotton from old clothes plus I have a bidet. I dilute my laundry soap, then use the recommended. My clothes are clean and cost me pennies I do this with my shampoo and conditioner. Make all my own cleaners (dish soap and vinegar and lots a water). I rarely buy clothing either it's been at least 5 years. I have managed to do groceries once a month it saves me have my grocery bill.
@@ingetnamn-de9fc Yes but that’s because they scandalize everyone else. We are honest about our living, therefore we have peace in our conscience in regards to not ripping people off. That’s something they don’t have. In the end of it all, they’ll have to give account to their deceit and evil practices.
Love your advice. Been implementing your ideas as my habits change. Growing food is my big contribution to minimising my food costs. Paper towels are out now 👍 Keep up the good work.
Grow as much as you possible can. You can't eat the grass. Unless you have a bunny, guinea pig or a hamster there is no use to grow grass in the amount most people do.
I have 6-siblings and 3 of those siblings save their plastic grocery bags for me. I live in Colorado and when I visit my sister in Georgia, she gives me her grocery bags. My sister from Mississippi, takes her grocery bags to my sister in Georgia so that my sister in Georgia can give them to me. Also, I have a sister in Montana that saves me her grocery bags. I visit her twice a year and her daughter gives me her grocery bags. I share the grocery bags with my daughter and she uses them for the cat litter box, and she uses the bags to hold dirty diapers that she takes right out to the trash. In Colorado, we have to pay on average, 10 cents per bag when we go shopping.
For the last three years.. I have been reconditioning myself to drink my morning Coffee, with out CREAM, or Milk. Just to see if I could brew a drinkable cup of Coffee - and learn to enjoy it - with out having creamer. I have substituted Butter, and Salt, Honey, and cinnamon for commercial Creamers. with real success . Oddly, I can refrigerate 2 left over cups of Black Coffee , ( with no added anything ) and drink it in the afternoon - after I have eaten my main meal of the day. as my customary "afternoon - pick me up", and it does not bother my stomach - which it would on an empty stomach . Dark circles - under your eyes may indicate a pre - Diabetic condition. You are "Preaching to the Choir" with this perpetual Economic struggle !
Thank you for this video! It gave me some great savings ideas. I had bought some shampoo that I don't like and thanks to your video I will use it for soft soap instead to wash my hands. I love Vo5 and I've finally realized that I don't ever need to buy another brand. I also loved the idea about watering down dish detergent. I actually paused your video, went and watered down the dish soap and then returned to watching! 😂
I bought your book, so good. Changed some of the things i was doing, VO5 adding water to it, so cheap. One thing i learned from frozen pennies was tsking the bits of bar soap and putting it in a mesh bag to use it up, it works!
I use handi wipes in place of paper towels They are basically reusable paper towels You rinse them out, then hang up to dry. They dry quickly, so they never smell. One lasts 2 to 3 weeks. The pack of 72 lasts me 3 years. They're great for washing dishes and counters so you never have slimy, smelly rags sitting around until laundry day BJ's has a price that's way less than everywhere else.
A word of caution-while using the disposal I forgot one was in the water and it wrapped around the motor and burned it up. No more for me! Expensive lesson!
I use a little medicine cup for my laundry measuring. I have a front loader & too much soap can break their soap pumps & too much suds will cause poor wash performance. For the largest loads, I never use more than 40ml. For tiny loads, I use 10ml and for most of my larger loads, I use 30ml. I do a lot of laundry in our house & our detergent lasts forever!😉
I got 10 bags of clothes from different places mostly free or for $10 or less a bag. I wont have to buy kid clothes for almost 2 years. I have been going to the food bank, then my aunt goes to the food bank to get extra for me. We have been pay check to pay check with bills. I am worried for buying oil heating the end of this year. I already have 2 jobs and my fiance works almost 12 hours. I am trying to squeeze a 3rd. Living cost for basic needs is ridiculous
We bought our fixer upper house 30 years ago for $70,000. Nowadays it's worth 4 times that and not just because we renovated it. We're moving out of eastern PA because it's insane here. You can't go anywhere without someone riding your butt in traffic.
I find it funny that you talk about the bidet BUT for those of us with extra junk in the trunk… I’m wondering if it works quite the same as those who have a big less junk 😆 I always wondered if they would work for me.
xumo...i just discovered. wow. tons and tons of channels and shows for free. no sign up or anything. we dont use creamer anymore...we have 100 boxes of tea from our son. we might be drinking that and not buying coffee anymore.i go to the friends of the library and buy books for ten cents each. i love not having to worry about when the book are due as when i go to the library. Tomorrow we go to the free produce distribution place to get free fruits and veggies. We dont buy paper towels. if a flannel sheet rips from wear...i cut up tons of rags from the sheet and use those.
I love to get something different to wear so i go to theift stores and garage sales too. **Put a little bit of alcohol-the topical kind in your bottle of your cleaner you make it disinfects.** Thank you for more ideas ...🤗
I live in Iowa. Our town used to allow us to have loose trash in our cans. Then the city got the bright idea to get cans we rent from them with wheels on them. They said they hold more and people could just throw trash in anyone we see since no one owns them. We rent them. Then the city changed their minds and says no loose trash. It all has to be bagged or they won't pick it up. Because of the design they hold less even though they are taller. And even if we decide to use a different company for trash we still have to pay the city
AAA is not the cheapest in PA either. Trash can liners: ditto. Decades ago, when I was in college, I had a professor who got a bidet because his wife wanted one. He used to call it "Old Faceful!" 😁 Laundry detergent: first, I dilute it with 50% water, and then use the instructions amount. Otherwise, it leaves a residue on fabric. In front loaders, a repairman once said that if you can see soap bubbles, you've put in too much soap. Not only does it leave a residue on your clothes, it leaves gunk that ruins your washing machine, too.
I think there are a few reasons people are not giving up cable. 1. Sports, 2. News, 3. They are older people and don’t want to learn the technology, 4. They would rather complain then do the research to make their situation better and don’t want to change their ways. These are the only things I can come up with. I haven’t had cable for at least 14 years but I do have three streaming services and have Prime. That’s enough for me. And I love finding all the stuff I can watch for free.
Cheaper shampoo for me gets me dandruff and I tried many brands I only use Klorane for oily hair and of course dry shampoo. I like to have my hair pretty and looking great, I do work in a pretty office. I like to feel and look great savvy shopper buy clothes in thrift store. The only thing i don’t buy is use shoes.
I'm in AZ and it's my understanding that all garbage that goes into the green can needs to be in a bag and tied up. I wish I could just throw the garbage out without the bags, but this is my experience.
When I was a kid in the city, we had the metal trash cans and my parents used paper bags for the trash. Now, we're back to paper bags for groceries and we just recycle them (do we really recycle?) These days, with all the extra packaging material, I have a 30 gallon garbage can. They play a game with the packaging too, # of rolls = this # of rolls and each type of store is different, so you can't compare. I barely put a splash of laundry soap in the washer anymore and if I open the lid, the water is still very soapy. So that tip is spot on. After spending mega bucks on shampoo and conditioner and finding no miracle products, I'm going back to VO-5. It's $1.14 at WalMart (cheaper than Dollar Tree) and they've added more in the bottle AND they're now sulfate and paraben free. Good enough for me. Love the pups at the end. Rocky said "this is MY Nala".
Love how straight forward you are with that bidet lesson! I’ll never forget first time I tried one. Had no idea what to expect. Quite the surprise! Thanks for enlightening people with all your great tips. 👍
Hi Princess!!! Following your advice has helped me save a lot of money over the years!! You're looking very attractive today !!! Love Nala and Rocky!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Another informative video and I so enjoy the fur babies at the end. Rocky is so good with his sister. I love seeing them like this and watching them play.
The dogs are so cute lying there together. I remember when you first got Nala and how hard you worked to help Rocky adjust to her being a part of the family.
I was at the laundromat ( don't judge me). A lady put a pod or 2 in each washer plus the same brand scent beads. The she used the same brand/scent dryer sheets. 😮 Also one of my washer i didn't put detergent in. And it still suds up. Cant wait for my replacement washer/dryer.
Here's another way to save some bucks: Look up the user manuals for appliances you own. My toaster oven is also an air fryer which I can use to "sun-dry" tomatoes. A family member had a box of small attachments for a broken vacuum; a quick search showed they'd work with mine. I have been able to detail my car so the interior looks newer.
Our trash service must have stock in the trash bag companies. We have to put our trash in the kitchen can size bags, and put those bags in the trash container. And yes, they will get after you if you don't use bags. I've always been a fan of cloth napkins, cloth handkerchiefs, and bidet towels. All are washable and reusable. I took your advice on the bidet - Best decision ever! Second best decision - Bidet towels. I use them not to wipe, because the water cleans perfectly, but to dry myself. I just don't like having a wet bottom! Laundry? Yes, use less soap! Detergent and fabric softeners are designed to destroy your clothing. Use less and your clothes will last longer. Also, I can't stand the smell of those heavy, artificial scents. I quit using fabric softener when I found out how toxic it is! Buy the large felted wool dryer balls in your dryer - cheap, no scent, and no static. Cheaper shampoo works just fine for me, too. I also make my own bath salts and add either theraputic or pretty smelling essential oils. Get a ceramic butter bell - Butter keeps just fine out of the fridge, and a butter bell keeps it clean. That way, you always have spreadable, room temperature butter.
I’m far from being a prepper but I do get good ideas from you. What gets me is how many water bottles and insulated cups people collect. I have two that I bought when my husband was alive , one for each of us. I’ve had them for years. I’ve received several as gifts. I don’t need them but depending who gave them to me I have kept a couple. I know a woman who buys new ones all the time and she buys them for her daughter and granddaughters as well. I’ll bet she has easily spent well over $1,000 on them.😅The ones I have are great. I don’t need a water bottle as a fashion😊 accessory.
Only thing I don't agree on is un bagged trash. It isn't allowed in my area and when people do it it results in litter. It really annoys me when neighbors don't order big enough trash receptacles, the lids don't close and that also results in litter. But overall another great video.
Most big box stores keep the cheaper products on the bottom shelf. It annoys my husband when I look at the bottom shelf for the cheaper products. I save my pantene shampoo and conditioner bottles with the pumps on them and I just put the cheaper products in the pantene bottles.
Don’t let the fact that you can’t save on a low income .. I thought the same on social security disability and I’m not on welfare.. set a savings goal and be consistent…
I hate shopping! I order what I can and have it delivered. When I have to get something from Walmart, I do a pickup order. I save so much money, just not going into the store.
You can still after 1&2 which you should instead of letting your body part drip dry because that"s nasty. You can use body cleansing wipes like Well Beginnings ()120 CT for $2.50 then tissue pat dry.
Me and my son was just talking about that last night. How can someone go throughout a 5 gallon bucket of laundry soap within 3 weeks. Hell the bucket I bought lasted me almost 2 years. But that's for I person. And sometimes I don't put soap in if my son washed his clothes first. Cause he uses a full cap and his clothes have been through attics and crawl spaces under houses. And yes I've been going throughout all my clothes and donating 3 bags so far. And yes I did buy a few sets that fitted perfectly .
A full cap of detergent for only one load of clothes actually wears out your washing machine prematurely! (It's too much for the machine, and can build up.)
I fell flat on my face this week. Bought a charger and three batteries for some tools. I waited a year to get them. I really need to use the battery powered chain saw that I got for $15 at a yard sale. Got a circular saw, hedge trimmer and sawzall in the deal. Did get a good deal at Home Depot for the charger and 3 batteries. Bought Neem oil, too, and potting soil for someone else and pumpkin seeds. Gardening is my downfall.
I’m in Michigan. Insurance is crazy expensive here. Full coverage car insurance is only $30-50 more than liability only insurance every 6 months so we keep it.
You can wash any plastic bags and use many times. Trash bags, frozen food bags, rice and pasta bags. Crisp or chips packets can be washed, doubled up and. Iused to keep food fresh or warm. Any postage plastic bags can be reused for bin bags, storage bags. Thick plastic bags can be sewn together to make plastic sheets for covering, tents or shelters.

Intermittent fasting and eating less carbs and eating smaller portions all help you save your money and your health.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes with intermittent fasting
I am losing weight on intermittent fasting. I actually have abs now! I'm going to be 60 in about 8 months. I'm blown away by this!😊

Even better yet, stop worrying about those grays and go natural! That’s what I did and only wish I’d done it 15 years sooner! 😭
@@raineedaytinyfilms Yes, hair colors and bleach ooze cancer. Avoiding them is better for the health and we all know health is wealth.
@@AnnMitt I don't do any of those things. I don't have the money. I wear my clothes until they are wore thin. I don't color my hair because I am allergic to it. I just live with the gray. I trim my hair myself. Guess I am saving a lot.
Entertainment is also another expense category that people could reduce or eliminate all together with free things. For some reason Americans think they’re not being entertained if they’re not paying money. During the recession my daughter and I found so many free things to do that were super fun, from concerts in the park, street fairs, free museum days, free festivals, programs at the library, etc. and then there is also hiking, biking, beachcombing or wandering around the lake picking up treasures, things like that. Be creative. Be a hometown tourist in your own town or your own county. As one reader said, make it fun, make it a game.
I have a partial roll of paper towels that has lasted me over a year, probably over 2 years. Most of what I've used has been used to clean up messes when my cat has gotten sick. I have a bidet bottle. I use 1 teaspoon of laundry per load. There's a repair person who says that too much laundry detergent is bad for washing machines. My hair is dry so I can go fairly long between shampoos. I only wear makeup if I'm leaving the house. I use very little,. My laundry goes on a drying rack and on towel bars. It also goes on plastic hangers and gets hung on the shower rod. I use butter instead of margarine. I buy it when it's on sale and put it in the freezer. I average $75 per month per adult for groceries. I use baking soda and white vinegar for cleaning. I use old T-shirts cut up and microfiber clothes for cleaning. I've bought one new sweater on sale this year. I was filling in a gap I had. I had been looking for awhile. I go to the grocery store once every 10 days-2 weeks. Thanks to a tip from you I just got my internet bill cut form $60 to $35 per month. That's good for a year. I'm paying $20 for my cell phone bill with the same company.
As I stated before. I burn my cardboard, compost , wash out food containers and recycled those. Then with what is left I take it to the land fill myself. I have a neighbor who let's me put 2 bags a week in their can. I get them a gas card once every 5 or 6 months.
Burning is not an option for everyone. In my country you brake the law if you burn anything. Which is ok because they take everything and it's like 5 dollars a month.
@bettinak.4 I only burn cardboard in a firepit in my backyard. Our trash pickup without recycling is 30.00 per month. I am lucky my neighbor let's me put 2 bags a week in her can. I give her a gas card once or twice a year for 25.00 dollars. I save a lot of money this way.
I just love how you include a little chat with your dogs at the end of your videos. They are beautiful babies!
I buy my clothes at thrift stores and garage sales but can’t believe how much they smell like laundry detergent !!! Yes people use to much it’s shocking . I actually have to often soak the clothes in water and vinegar to get the smell out! I use unscented laundry soap since my daughter was a baby 37 years ago she had infantile eczema.
The thrift stores wash the clothes in all that awful endocrine disrupting chemical soup. We don’t use detergents in our house because we break out in rash and hives. So, we use soap nuts, aka soap berries. One little muslin bag and 5 soap berries lasts for five loads. WAY cheaper than laundry detergent and healthier. We use vinegar for the rinse cycle. No smell on clothes at all, and vinegar is a great fabric softener. Plus it cleans your washer instead of gunking it up with detergent and fabric softener residues! Win win!
I had to stop my trash pickup. I take my trash to my sister’s house or to work with me. I use dog food bags for trash bags. I buy 20 lbs of dog food and they fit in my trash can perfectly. I don’t have stinky trash , no food and I rinse and dry any cans I use.
I use cloth napkins and don’t buy paper towels.
I have a bidet and buy very little toilet paper. I got it from Amazon for about $40. A friend of mine installed it very easily.
I’m recently divorced after 18 years of marriage. My life has changed drastically lately and I’m really trying to get a handle on things.
Dog bags are really sturdy and don’t leak. That was/is a good idea.
Super video! Need a reminder from time to time or maybe I don’t but enjoy Princess and watch her as often as possible because she is an inspiration!
I have marble floors and clean with only water. No detergents of any kind. We have been warned by the manufacturer to never use anything on it. Water cleans well on its own.
Oh, and after watching so many of your videos, I have to mention that your dogs are really cute! :)
I use cheap shampoo and conditioner. Sometimes I brave a new scent.
If I don't like the conditioner scent, it gets used for cleaning paint brushes. I had to share since you're frequently remodeling. I was surprised to learn to use conditioner in art classes. It really helps make paint brushes last for years of projects.... if it's cleaned before the paint dries.
Great idea im gonna try that cheers
I didn’t know that!
I watch you on my cell phone.
I use lots of rags and old clothes for cleaning up. And I, too, have napkins for dining. I have been doing it for many years. I used to find them for pennies years ago at thrift stores. Now they are becoming very popular so hard to find. I'll make my own if need be.
I just use my old towels and T shirts. Way cheaper to clean up a spilled beer with an old towel than a bucks worth of paper towels. lol They I throw the towel in the washer or use the tub to wash it.
Use vinegar as a conditioner. Dilute it in water and it softens hair and clothes.
When I was growing up, we only got paper bags at the grocery. My mom would double bag, put it in a small bin, and once it was full, she'd slide another paper bag over the top, and secure it with twine. We never, ever just dumped our garbage into the outside bin. Rhode Island recently enacted a law that stores can't use plastic anymore so we get paper if we don't bring our own bags. I'm thinking of going back to the old way and using paper bags for trash.
Make your own foaming hand soaps by putting a 1/4 inch of dish soap in your foaming hand soap pump bottle and then fill with water, leaving room for the pump mechanism obviously. Put the top back on and mix gently by turning the bottle upside down and right-side up several times. Wala, foaming hand soap at a fraction of the cost.
You buy once foamy and then refill.
@@aurorasanchez7922 Yep! Been doing it for years now.
Your videos are always so helpful. I really appreciate you making them. I’ve saved so much money putting your advice into practice.
your ceiling and removal of the inner posts has been completed!
I started researching all items I buy. I was very surprised how easy it is to just make things like mayonnaise. It takes 15 seconds literally with the immersion blender. Brown sugar is just molasses added to sugar, powder sugar I put sugar in a coffee grinder for 11 seconds. We have been so conditioned to buy things that are so easy to make. Jelly is super easy too and a 1/8 of the price.
I didn’t know any of those! How do you make mayo?
Mayo is egg, oil and lemon juice. Super easy!😊
@@PrepperPrincess I make mine with 1 egg, 1/2 tsp salt, 1Tbsp apple cider vinegar, a couple drops of lemon juice and 1 cup of oil. Blend it for 15 seconds with an immersion blender.. done. I use avocado oil and it tastes exactly like what they sell at Costco for $9 a jar.
@@TaraLetcher-s5s My husband used to make Mayo.
I agree with you about using too much laundry soap. I use as little as possible.
I stay out of Walmart as much as possible. I hate checking myself out and being stopped at the door.
Walmart should give discount for pay people paying by itself. I prefer dollar tree.
We own our home, like you I think our biggest bill is our heath insurance. We are in Australia our groceries for everything in the house foods, cat food, detergents, shampoo whatever we spend $280.00 a month for two oldies and a fat cat. I don't know how that compares to in the USA . I know people can't believe that is all we spend a month and we don't go without anything.
Our municipality will not allow binned trash to be unbagged. We are only allowed to put recyclables unbagged into the recycle bin. I reuse and recycle as much as possible. We no longer get plastic bags from the stores, and have to pay for paper bags. I do use those paper bags for trash and put them into the larger trash bags.
Re: the bidet water doesn't come from the toilet bowl! (For those that are confused😊) It comes from the water supply pipe...same principle as your shower! You can even buy the "heated" bidets! Honestly, you get used to it if you DO NOT use a heated bidet. 😂 And they aren't that expensive. Just shop for one in your budget.
I have saved so much ££ by following the tips on this channel, am v grateful. I now use scrunched-up newspaper (from the free local newspaper) to wipe up any yucky messes, instead of paper towel. I make sure the washing machine & dishwasher is as full as poss before using. I dilute washing-liquids once i've used 1/4 of the bottle. I add 2 spoonfuls of instant coffee to my bag of roast coffee; no noticeable change to taste.
At Winco one roll of paper towels is $.43.
We buy paper towels (because my husband still uses paper towels) and trash bags at Dollar Tree. And we use a bidet and cloth wipes instead of toilet paper.
I took your advice and bought a cheap bidet and I love it! It cost me literally like $30.
As for paper towels, I use dish cloths. I make my own laundry soap that cost 1.00 per gallon. Look on line for recipes with Phelps Naptha,washing soda, and 20 mule team borax. I also wear my clothes more than once except for underwear, and wash clothes by hand and line dry.
Once a week I wash my hair with half cup apple cider vinegar and half cup water. I add shampoo, a bit and wash my hair once a week. I can go almost 4 to 5 days without washing my hair as it leaves it so squeaky clean stripping all the residue from oils, mousse, gels. I recommend it a lot.
Hello from New Britain, Ct-Very Inspiring Channel…
I've been following you for quite awhile, but I don't remember, or can't find what got you into debt in the first place, and what was the rock bottom that made you change your habits? My mom lived during the Great Depression, so I grew up being frugal, and hubby and I retired early because we're savers. I also prepped at the beginning of the pandemic, so i pretty much need nothing, except for fresh fruits and veggies. We don't eat out as much anymore, and we spend our money on experiences. We take advantage of free things and discounts. Being from NYC, I've been able to experience all the culture that others around the world would love to do, but can't. I'm proud of myself for making it to my 60s without being poor.
The debt was for the education.
I have oily, stringy hair. The only thing that works is baking soda… a tablespoon in a cup of warm water.
Grocery bags fit in a small can. Try to notice what you are throwing away, and buy things that have less wasteful packaging. You can use washcloths or rags instead of lots of napkins and paper towels. Unless it's very stinky, try not to throw out the bag until it's full. Try composting things like produce peels.
Love your videos, but that description of the “common sense” explanation of how a bidet works, had me rolling😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for all of your money saving tips, especially right now when we are running low on money.
Pluto, Tubi are also free streaming services, I have done away with tissues, napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, I've made all of them with leftover cotton from old clothes plus I have a bidet. I dilute my laundry soap, then use the recommended. My clothes are clean and cost me pennies I do this with my shampoo and conditioner. Make all my own cleaners (dish soap and vinegar and lots a water). I rarely buy clothing either it's been at least 5 years. I have managed to do groceries once a month it saves me have my grocery bill.
Thank you PP! We are NOT fancy in our home either! I don’t think anyone can afford to be “fancy” anymore. 😉
Millionaire politicians sure can.
@@ingetnamn-de9fc Yes but that’s because they scandalize everyone else. We are honest about our living, therefore we have peace in our conscience in regards to not ripping people off. That’s something they don’t have. In the end of it all, they’ll have to give account to their deceit and evil practices.
Love your advice. Been implementing your ideas as my habits change. Growing food is my big contribution to minimising my food costs. Paper towels are out now 👍 Keep up the good work.
Grow as much as you possible can. You can't eat the grass. Unless you have a bunny, guinea pig or a hamster there is no use to grow grass in the amount most people do.
I have 6-siblings and 3 of those siblings save their plastic grocery bags for me. I live in Colorado and when I visit my sister in Georgia, she gives me her grocery bags. My sister from Mississippi, takes her grocery bags to my sister in Georgia so that my sister in Georgia can give them to me. Also, I have a sister in Montana that saves me her grocery bags. I visit her twice a year and her daughter gives me her grocery bags. I share the grocery bags with my daughter and she uses them for the cat litter box, and she uses the bags to hold dirty diapers that she takes right out to the trash. In Colorado, we have to pay on average, 10 cents per bag when we go shopping.
I use farm feed bags for trash. Here people reuse feed bags and not purchase trash bags. Recycling center 2 miles from my house.
Rocky and Nala are just precious in that pose on the couch! First time I smiled today.
For the last three years.. I have been reconditioning myself to drink my morning Coffee, with out CREAM, or Milk. Just to see if I could brew a drinkable cup of Coffee - and learn to enjoy it - with out having creamer. I have substituted Butter, and Salt, Honey, and cinnamon for commercial Creamers. with real success . Oddly, I can refrigerate 2 left over cups of Black Coffee , ( with no added anything ) and drink it in the afternoon - after I have eaten my main meal of the day. as my customary "afternoon - pick me up", and it does not bother my stomach - which it would on an empty stomach . Dark circles - under your eyes may indicate a pre - Diabetic condition. You are "Preaching to the Choir" with this perpetual Economic struggle !
Great idea!!!
Cold brew made in a mason jar for me! Makes two cups of thick coffee that I have to water down with creamer or water.
Thank You for your tips. You validate my own peculiar lil ways! 😅
I love your common sense approach. Unfortunately, not many ppl have any these days.
Thank you for this video! It gave me some great savings ideas. I had bought some shampoo that I don't like and thanks to your video I will use it for soft soap instead to wash my hands. I love Vo5 and I've finally realized that I don't ever need to buy another brand. I also loved the idea about watering down dish detergent. I actually paused your video, went and watered down the dish soap and then returned to watching! 😂
I always measure 1tespoon each time.
I bought your book, so good. Changed some of the things i was doing, VO5 adding water to it, so cheap. One thing i learned from frozen pennies was tsking the bits of bar soap and putting it in a mesh bag to use it up, it works!
I use handi wipes in place of paper towels
They are basically reusable paper towels
You rinse them out, then hang up to dry. They dry quickly, so they never smell. One lasts 2 to 3 weeks. The pack of 72 lasts me 3 years. They're great for washing dishes and counters so you never have slimy, smelly rags sitting around until laundry day BJ's has a price that's way less than everywhere else.
A word of caution-while using the disposal I forgot one was in the water and it wrapped around the motor and burned it up. No more for me! Expensive lesson!
I use a little medicine cup for my laundry measuring. I have a front loader & too much soap can break their soap pumps & too much suds will cause poor wash performance. For the largest loads, I never use more than 40ml. For tiny loads, I use 10ml and for most of my larger loads, I use 30ml. I do a lot of laundry in our house & our detergent lasts forever!😉
I got 10 bags of clothes from different places mostly free or for $10 or less a bag. I wont have to buy kid clothes for almost 2 years. I have been going to the food bank, then my aunt goes to the food bank to get extra for me. We have been pay check to pay check with bills. I am worried for buying oil heating the end of this year. I already have 2 jobs and my fiance works almost 12 hours. I am trying to squeeze a 3rd. Living cost for basic needs is ridiculous
my friend pays $2000 yes $2k for an apt and thats just the rent. now add all the other bills as well. housing prices r insane 😊
We bought our fixer upper house 30 years ago for $70,000. Nowadays it's worth 4 times that and not just because we renovated it. We're moving out of eastern PA because it's insane here. You can't go anywhere without someone riding your butt in traffic.
I find it funny that you talk about the bidet BUT for those of us with extra junk in the trunk… I’m wondering if it works quite the same as those who have a big less junk 😆
I always wondered if they would work for me.
Einstein said, "Compound interest is man's greatest invention."
xumo...i just discovered. wow. tons and tons of channels and shows for free. no sign up or anything. we dont use creamer anymore...we have 100 boxes of tea from our son. we might be drinking that and not buying coffee anymore.i go to the friends of the library and buy books for ten cents each. i love not having to worry about when the book are due as when i go to the library. Tomorrow we go to the free produce distribution place to get free fruits and veggies. We dont buy paper towels. if a flannel sheet rips from wear...i cut up tons of rags from the sheet and use those.
I love to get something different to wear so i go to theift stores and garage sales too. **Put a little bit of alcohol-the topical kind in your bottle of your cleaner you make it disinfects.** Thank you for more ideas ...🤗
I live in Iowa. Our town used to allow us to have loose trash in our cans. Then the city got the bright idea to get cans we rent from them with wheels on them. They said they hold more and people could just throw trash in anyone we see since no one owns them. We rent them. Then the city changed their minds and says no loose trash. It all has to be bagged or they won't pick it up. Because of the design they hold less even though they are taller. And even if we decide to use a different company for trash we still have to pay the city
I was raised in Iowa. Where in Iowa are you from?
I was raised in Oelwein. Live in Burlington now

AAA is not the cheapest in PA either.
Trash can liners: ditto.
Decades ago, when I was in college, I had a professor who got a bidet because his wife wanted one. He used to call it "Old Faceful!" 😁
Laundry detergent: first, I dilute it with 50% water, and then use the instructions amount. Otherwise, it leaves a residue on fabric. In front loaders, a repairman once said that if you can see soap bubbles, you've put in too much soap. Not only does it leave a residue on your clothes, it leaves gunk that ruins your washing machine, too.
I think there are a few reasons people are not giving up cable. 1. Sports, 2. News, 3. They are older people and don’t want to learn the technology, 4. They would rather complain then do the research to make their situation better and don’t want to change their ways. These are the only things I can come up with. I haven’t had cable for at least 14 years but I do have three streaming services and have Prime. That’s enough for me. And I love finding all the stuff I can watch for free.
I grew up poor, so a lot of money saving "tips" just come naturally. I got rid of cable AND my TV in 2007 and haven't looked back.
Pluto TV has news, and many movies and shows. Free. Also rabbit ears on TV get local news and shows. Free
Cheaper shampoo for me gets me dandruff and I tried many brands I only use Klorane for oily hair and of course dry shampoo. I like to have my hair pretty and looking great, I do work in a pretty office. I like to feel and look great savvy shopper buy clothes in thrift store. The only thing i don’t buy is use shoes.
I'm in AZ and it's my understanding that all garbage that goes into the green can needs to be in a bag and tied up. I wish I could just throw the garbage out without the bags, but this is my experience.
I am required to use bags also. The can would be even more gross without bags. But for recycle I do use her method
@@Boobotz53 Agree, no bags needed for recycle (blue can). I love PP ideas and use those that I can!!!
I love Tubi ❤️
When I was a kid in the city, we had the metal trash cans and my parents used paper bags for the trash. Now, we're back to paper bags for groceries and we just recycle them (do we really recycle?) These days, with all the extra packaging material, I have a 30 gallon garbage can. They play a game with the packaging too, # of rolls = this # of rolls and each type of store is different, so you can't compare. I barely put a splash of laundry soap in the washer anymore and if I open the lid, the water is still very soapy. So that tip is spot on. After spending mega bucks on shampoo and conditioner and finding no miracle products, I'm going back to VO-5. It's $1.14 at WalMart (cheaper than Dollar Tree) and they've added more in the bottle AND they're now sulfate and paraben free. Good enough for me. Love the pups at the end. Rocky said "this is MY Nala".
Oh my goodness…the CUTENESS of the pups at the end of the video!!! So sweet!! Great video! Always love hearing your tips!
Love how straight forward you are with that bidet lesson! I’ll never forget first time I tried one. Had no idea what to expect. Quite the surprise! Thanks for enlightening people with all your great tips. 👍
Hi Princess!!! Following your advice has helped me save a lot of money over the years!! You're looking very attractive today !!!
Love Nala and Rocky!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Another informative video and I so enjoy the fur babies at the end. Rocky is so good with his sister. I love seeing them like this and watching them play.
Many towns are now requiring garbage to be bagged. Big problem with loose garbage all over the street so we are now required to bag
Thank you for this precious information.
Love your videos, the highlight is always when you show the pups 🐶 😊
i never bought paper towels, i have cleaning cloths that i wash by hand and hang on the line to dry.
Im so sad that dollar tree is starting to close a ton of locations, i found such gems there!
Same for Family Dollar
The dogs are so cute lying there together. I remember when you first got Nala and how hard you worked to help Rocky adjust to her being a part of the family.
Thanks for the tips. So many creative ways to save money!
I was at the laundromat ( don't judge me). A lady put a pod or 2 in each washer plus the same brand scent beads. The she used the same brand/scent dryer sheets. 😮 Also one of my washer i didn't put detergent in. And it still suds up. Cant wait for my
replacement washer/dryer.
(Don't judge HER)
That's why I always run the 1 minute machine rinse cycle before washing my clothes in a laundromat, due to no machines in my home...
Use her washer when she's done. The remaining soap should get your clothes clean.
Here's another way to save some bucks: Look up the user manuals for appliances you own. My toaster oven is also an air fryer which I can use to "sun-dry" tomatoes. A family member had a box of small attachments for a broken vacuum; a quick search showed they'd work with mine. I have been able to detail my car so the interior looks newer.
Our trash service must have stock in the trash bag companies. We have to put our trash in the kitchen can size bags, and put those bags in the trash container. And yes, they will get after you if you don't use bags. I've always been a fan of cloth napkins, cloth handkerchiefs, and bidet towels. All are washable and reusable. I took your advice on the bidet - Best decision ever! Second best decision - Bidet towels. I use them not to wipe, because the water cleans perfectly, but to dry myself. I just don't like having a wet bottom! Laundry? Yes, use less soap! Detergent and fabric softeners are designed to destroy your clothing. Use less and your clothes will last longer. Also, I can't stand the smell of those heavy, artificial scents. I quit using fabric softener when I found out how toxic it is! Buy the large felted wool dryer balls in your dryer - cheap, no scent, and no static. Cheaper shampoo works just fine for me, too. I also make my own bath salts and add either theraputic or pretty smelling essential oils. Get a ceramic butter bell - Butter keeps just fine out of the fridge, and a butter bell keeps it clean. That way, you always have spreadable, room temperature butter.
I’m far from being a prepper but I do get good ideas from you. What gets me is how many water bottles and insulated cups people collect. I have two that I bought when my husband was alive , one for each of us. I’ve had them for years. I’ve received several as gifts. I don’t need them but depending who gave them to me I have kept a couple. I know a woman who buys new ones all the time and she buys them for her daughter and granddaughters as well. I’ll bet she has easily spent well over $1,000 on them.😅The ones I have are great. I don’t need a water bottle as a fashion😊 accessory.
Only thing I don't agree on is un bagged trash. It isn't allowed in my area and when people do it it results in litter. It really annoys me when neighbors don't order big enough trash receptacles, the lids don't close and that also results in litter. But overall another great video.
It is not allowed where I live either.
I notice your t.v. Is on in the background. That’s one thing I try to save on not using unnecessary electricity.
She has solar so no electric bill.
Thanks for another good video. Love your pets. They have really bonded.
I am frugal also, but I have a husband who is not as fugal😁I really enjoy the part where you play with your dogs at the end, especially this video❤
Most big box stores keep the cheaper products on the bottom shelf. It annoys my husband when I look at the bottom shelf for the cheaper products. I save my pantene shampoo and conditioner bottles with the pumps on them and I just put the cheaper products in the pantene bottles.
Don’t let the fact that you can’t save on a low income .. I thought the same on social security disability and I’m not on welfare.. set a savings goal and be consistent…
I hate shopping! I order what I can and have it delivered. When I have to get something from Walmart, I do a pickup order. I save so much money, just not going into the store.
You can still after 1&2 which you should instead of letting your body part drip dry because that"s nasty. You can use body cleansing wipes like Well Beginnings ()120 CT for $2.50 then tissue pat dry.
11:00 - 13:48 = CLASSIC.
Plus, it's been said that using too much soap leads to a lot of static cling in your laundry, after it has been dried.
Me and my son was just talking about that last night. How can someone go throughout a 5 gallon bucket of laundry soap within 3 weeks. Hell the bucket I bought lasted me almost 2 years. But that's for I person. And sometimes I don't put soap in if my son washed his clothes first. Cause he uses a full cap and his clothes have been through attics and crawl spaces under houses. And yes I've been going throughout all my clothes and donating 3 bags so far. And yes I did buy a few sets that fitted perfectly .
A full cap of detergent for only one load of clothes actually wears out your washing machine prematurely! (It's too much for the machine, and can build up.)
I'm gonna start marking my buy date on the bottom of my shampoo bottles. A little game for me.
I fell flat on my face this week. Bought a charger and three batteries for some tools. I waited a year to get them. I really need to use the battery powered chain saw that I got for $15 at a yard sale. Got a circular saw, hedge trimmer and sawzall in the deal. Did get a good deal at Home Depot for the charger and 3 batteries. Bought Neem oil, too, and potting soil for someone else and pumpkin seeds. Gardening is my downfall.
Try estate sales for gardening supplies and half full fertilizer bags. Ten cents on the dollar❤
I’m in Michigan. Insurance is crazy expensive here. Full coverage car insurance is only $30-50 more than liability only insurance every 6 months so we keep it.

You can wash any plastic bags and use many times. Trash bags, frozen food bags, rice and pasta bags. Crisp or chips packets can be washed, doubled up and. Iused to keep food fresh or warm. Any postage plastic bags can be reused for bin bags, storage bags. Thick plastic bags can be sewn together to make plastic sheets for covering, tents or shelters.
I reuse all my plastic bags. One of my favorites to reuse is bread bags!
