    Sometimes also, not everything considered "Bougie" works better than the "cheap" or "moderate" items.

    Something that has saved me money on beauty products is to buy it at Ulta if it's a product I haven't tried before because they have an awesome return policy. As long as you haven't used more than 80% of something and it's within the time frame you can return it if you don't like it. Sometimes I pay a couple of dollars more, but it's worth it.

    I like some of these products, but I was wondering if you can make a video on how to save for a down payment on a house? Or maybe a video listing easy entry careers where a degree is not required, but you can still make a decent income?

    I heard if it touches the ground, its always worth investing the extra money. So furniture, mattresses, shoes, and tires!

    • @RachelCruze
      @RachelCruze  3 года назад +2

      Haha that's fascinating, I hadn't heard that but I like it! As long as you don't have payments for those things. :)

    With some things you get what you pay for. For others even if you looked under a microscope you couldn't tell a difference between the off-brand and the real deal. Very smart to consider what kind of item you're dealing with when purchasing! :)

    I would recommend making homemade laundry detergent. MUCH cheaper!! You make it up once every 6-9 months, and get a total of 10 gallons!! The recipe I ise calls for water, a bar of Fels-Naptha soap, some Arm and Hammer washing soda (not baking soda), and some Borax. Easy, takes maybe an hour, and you're done for MONTHS!!

    I have recently discovered Dollar Tree. Somethings are you get what you pay for, but some things are actually pretty good especially for stuff you're expecting to get messed up, ex: broom.

    Baby step 7 and we buy mostly cheap or moderate for most stuff. Wife has a few fancy skincare items more than top ones here and that's fine with me. Just depends on the item and how much use they get for determining how much we pay.

    My wife will forever be in the “Ross” category for clothing and and lots of other “good quality products” for the “bougie” brands!

    • @RachelCruze

      Nothing wrong with that! Shopping at Ross and stores like it is a great way to save money on name brands.

    Yeah it's personal. For me
    Cheap - Toilet paper and outdoor landscaping
    Moderate - Beans more often then meat; Clothes at Marshals instead of Macys
    Splurge - Organic Produce and Meat

    I focus on buying the highest quality products I can. I buy a gallon of Dr.Bronners soap and dillute it 10 gto 1. A gallon will last a year+. The same with EO Lavender hand/body lotion, shampoo and conditioner etc.. I may spend more money upfront when I buy a gallon of these items we all use but over time I am spending MUCH less than if I was buying smaller bottle over and over. Also, I only use one plastic container in a year+ time which I feel is VERY Important for the environment.

    • @andrewh4806
      @andrewh4806 3 года назад

      I prefer higher quality stuff too. Definitely, buying things in bulk is a great idea. I do that as well. It’s also convenient as your regular weekly shop is smaller, as not always topping up.

    I liked the concept of the video but I think your definition of "essentials" is vastly different than mine. I assumed you'd talk about shampoo, baby diapers, laundry detergent, not natural deodorant, things like that.
