- @WithaTouchofLuxury and @DaniOchannel collaborated on this great tag video. It makes a nice change every now and then to talk about what we won't buy. These simply don't bring me enough joy to justify the price tag, and there are other things I enjoy more 😊
Thanks to @WithaTouchofLuxury and @LesleyAdina for tagging me! Videos below:

Loving the chipotle scale 😂
It's a solid meal for the price! 😅 Sometimes I see beauty products and think I'd rather get chipotle
I love videos like this!
I found a new tip the other day to add to my life, I now ask business to price match and you would be surprised how many are happy to do this. I went to my local pet shop for my cats very expensive medication, it was 40% off for a few days at a competitive and I just asked if they could do the same for me and they did! I saved $75. I also don't do any beauty maintenance but get my blonde highlights twice a year (by a trainee who is supervised) , no lashes, no nails, no waxing, no facials, I do get a massage though but that's only a few times a year. I don't pay for a gym membership but instead ride my bicycle and do walks, I do go to yoga classes but yoga is my therapy.
My makeup is only my staples, I don't buy bottled water, I don't drink carbonated drinks and if I go to dinners and don't plan to drink alcohol I'll just have table water and it saves so much money, i don't ever buy alcohol just to have in the house, I'm not a big drinker, I also invested in a coffee machine and just drink coffee at home. I don't do take away coffees or foods. Once a month I'll order Indian curry because I love it ❤😂
Living this way works really well for me and this is how I have extra funds for bags and travel! The two main luxuries I can justify. I'm not that into clothes either. Most of my clothes are 1-10 years old and I outfit repeat all the time. I like quality materials and much rather have less clothes but good quality, I can't do polyester or plastic fast fashion clothes.
I love your wedding dress! I've always wanted a dress I can turn into a cocktail dress too! Very sustainable ❤❤
These are such good ones!! It all adds up over time. I've found many stores will even give discounts after a purchase if it's within a certain window. I bought a pair of sandals recently, and then a different store offered a lower price. They refunded the difference.
Totally agree on avoiding polyester clothes and choosing higher quality pieces that will last. I would like to invest in a sewing machine so I can repurpose clothing when they no longer fit or suit me ❤️
Oh yeah, that energy can go do one! 👎🏼 Love this video! And you're rocking the pink! 🩷 I share a lot of the same habits, and yet The Lion has the cheek to call me high maintenance! 😒🦁 RUDE! Awww your poor Honda went bye-byes. Cant beat Japanese engineering for reliability & longevity! Although I was always a Nissan girl. 😉🩷
How rude! Ben thinks the same, but we're not high maintenance 😅 Just balanced! I imagine getting a Subaru eventually, but that's my version of a fancy car 🙈💕
The bag and car comment. I’ve heard that before. I wonder what idiot made it up. If my car is fine, why does it need to be luxury.
Exactly! I was perfectly happy with it. I'm sure there's no winning in that situation anyway; if a woman had a nice bag and fancy car, those guys would say she looks materialistic. Best not worry either way and do what feels right 😅
Great video. Love the honesty. Love the cat 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Thank you! 😊
I’m with you on the beauty treatments, definitely the place I save my money!
And it's so easy to do most of them at home for a lower cost! My hair salon offers a hair mask treatment, but it's an expensive add-on when it's easy and cheaper to do it at home.
Thanks for doing this tag, Megan.
I use to think of big expenditures such as home renovations in Louis Vuitton bags. It was my lingo 😂 Once I thought how many bags I could buy, I would often cancel the project.😂😂
I also use a lot of Cerave and goodness I love that story about your car.❤
Thank you! 😊 I loved that car, but I was glad to make it just past 200,000 miles at least. Now I'm driving a Honda that's only 10 years old, and it feels like such a luxurious upgrade 😂
I use CeraVe cleanser and cream (Costco) too. I love that they are unscented while hydrating. I think that designer costume jewelry are totally not worth it. I rather spend on unbranded fine jewelry, which use expensive materials and has resale value. One thing I save on is my cell phone. I don't buy a new one every year or even every other year. If it works and holds a charge, it's OK.
Costco bargains for the win! I relate to all of these. CeraVe products are excellent, and I'll keep my phone as long as it works too.
Whoops, hadn’t realized Poola had also tagged you. Great ones. I also hardly take anything to the dry cleaner.
That's okay! I can never keep track of tags 😊
Love the tea at the end! How many chipotles is the the OG will it grocery store! I am 100% with you on designer jewelry, but as a tea lover I will always order the tea. I am medium on tech, not an early adopter, but I will invest in it for sure as I am part nerd.
I should say the one exception is when I'm traveling 😅 Then all drink limits go out the window. I had so many cappuccinos and cups of tea in Scotland!
Thank you for sharing your frugal habits! I can relate to so many of your habits. No dry-cleaner for me either and I wish that I’d be better with taking my clothes to get altered to fit me better 💎
I put off getting them altered for months, but I'm always so glad when I finally get it done! 😊 Thanks again for tagging me 💕
So refreshing to hear you share your frugal lifestyle (outside designer handbags). You are not alone…I’m over here nodding my head in agreement. 😊
Thank you! I completely agree. I've really enjoyed hearing everyone's list 😄
