    ⭐️ I’m working on the subscriptions and apps myself. I shut them off but then used DoorDash the other day. It’s really hard to cut the cord after using these services for so long.
    ❓Is anyone else having a hard done cutting one completely off?

    Some very good advice Jen! Too many of us are drowning in debt. My Dad always used to say, "If you can't pay cash for it, you don't need it". At the time of his passing at 79 he still did not have a credit card! Years ago I used to scoff at him, now I am trying to emulate him!

    • @2SisterBees

    Great video, Jen! I got DoorDash sticker shock a few days ago when I was out of town with my daughter & after a day of driving, we opted to order supper using DoorDash because it was convenient, we were tired & in an unfamiliar place. $70 & lackluster food later, we wished we had just ventured out and found a McDonald’s or had brought some sandwich stuff with us on the trip! Our order wasn’t really anything that should have been remotely the amount we paid and to add insult to injury, neither of our orders had utinsels included with them. Kind of difficult to eat a salad without a fork! Of course, that was a restaurant issue, not DoorDash … 😡 Never again! I deleted the App already & have no plans to download it again!

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Год назад

      Yes!!! The food is always lacking!!! Idc where it’s from! 😂
      I know how to cook some food! And so does Jason - so nothing that take out has to offer is ever better than what we can make here at home. It’s that convenience that I have to get away from. It’s NOT worth it! And $70 sounds about right! 😒

  • @Shridra
    @Shridra Год назад

    I've spent a long time learning how to cook, and can cook most foods cheaper and better than takeout, so why wouldn't I? We do get takeout once a week, as a treat on Fridays because that's the day that I do my deep house cleaning, but we could cut that out if we wanted or needed to.
    One thing I figured out after baby was born was that I did need some convenience sometimes, so we almost always have something quick in the house for a day when I'm really tired and just not up to cooking - frozen fries and chicken strips, frozen pizza, premade meatballs to throw with some spaghetti, stuff like that. It's more expensive than making it from scratch, but not nearly as expensive as buying it from a restaurant.

    Thanks you Jen! You are right I hate spending my cash. I take cash out after all my bills are paid and it has to last me. If I keep using my cards I will have to keep working two jobs.

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Год назад +1

      I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you, Lisa. I hope you can heal and know that wasn’t your fault. I have always told my girls since they were very small- I don’t care what station someone holds in life, no one is above anyone and we are all human. Even someone who holds a title of teacher, coach, preacher, parent… doesn’t matter- if someone hurts you in any way, you have every right to come forward and say it.
      Don’t allow anyone to hold you back from what you need and want in your own life. You are worth moving beyond how that person made you feel. 💛💛💛

    I loved this video! I get sucked into using my credit card cause I get anywhere from 3-5% cash back and feel like if I use cash I’m missing out on some free money! But I do see how if you use cash you think twice about what you are purchasing and only get what u need. Probably takes out any compulsive buys! I do like to do the Walmart online pickup though. I usually only buy what we are out of and by not going into store I don’t impulse buy!

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Год назад

      I did this today at Sam’s. I did pick up and literally spent HALF of what I would spend if I went in.
      I get what you are saying about the % back.
      I think as long as you have the cash and pay it immediately- there’s nothing wrong with doing it that way.
      It’s when we use the credit instead of cash and then don’t pay it in full. I always have “good intentions” and sooner or later, get myself caught back up in that trick bag! 😂

    I tried mint mobile and wished I could have kept it but the service don't work where I'm at and I live next to a city. I wish I could cut my phone plan cause its actually one of my highest bills. I cut doordash off with no problem which is surprising to me cause we only have doordash and 1 other restaurant that delivers to my house. But I got tired of the prices of doordash being double what they are at the restaurant. But we've cut back to only eating out once or twice a month which is great for us and we don't use doordash or anything to get it then.

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Год назад +1

      That’s actually a good thing to point out here- with Mint, you are NOT STUCK in a contract! They even have a 7 day trial on Amazon for .99 cents!
      All these reasons are why I went ahead and partnered with them for this segment. I truly believe they save you $ and don’t keep you stuck, if something isn’t working out.
      I’m so done with DD! The food we ordered wasn’t even good! I always have to learn my lessons the hard way! 😂😂

      @@2SisterBees yeah the food was always cold or missing and they got to where they didn't want to do anything about the food that was missing. I think I tried mint when it first started. Me and my aunt both got 30 days for free and after that it was only going to be like $10 or $11 a month! A lot cheaper than mine now. My bill is $105 a month but $22 of that is for a phone payment because my last phone decided to die right as I got it paid off and I'm diabetic and wear a GSM so I have to have a compatible phone cause I don't have a reader itself and of course you know they only make them compatible with the more expensive phones which I usually have my phones at least 3-5 years unless it dies. My last one I had for 3 and I was still trying to use it the best I could cause I didn't want to go back into debt for a phone. But now I'm in debt for 35 more months for this one unless I find a way to pay it off early but I doubt it cause I'm on disability with no other assistance but hopefully this one won't die on me right as I get it paid for. Lol

      That’s a good question.
      I THINK when you owe for a phone- that’s how they keep you in contract.
      I’m not sure if it’s that the phone won’t work on another network OR if you won’t be able to transfer that phone number.
