Thank you so much for joining me on this Frugal Friday! What was your favorite one of the 10 feel good frugal tips?
Definitely the ebay tip. Never heard that before and super useful! Thank you for sharing
Being flexible to include enjoyment!
Looking at housework as a good exercise
Be frugal now, because you are saving for your future self 🙂❤
Love yourself
Eating a bean & vegetable burrito, a potato stew or casserole & a vegetarian pasta 1x each week saves a ton of $$.
I agree SO much with the cleaning for exercise tip. What I also do, is when I take my puppy for a walk, I take a bag with me and I fill it up with rubbish. It gives me a great ab workout AND I clean up the environment so that the rubbish doesn't end up in the lake/ocean. Its a win/win!
Oooh Cherie thank you for the tip!!!! Love it!!!! Great idea!
During COVID lockdowns my bestie and I would meet in the movie theater parking lot with chairs, breakfast and coffee. And sometimes heavy coats. We social distanced but still got a good visit. Once a sheriff deputy cruised in to check on us- we were
The only ones there at 8 am- he just waved and kept going. Great memories! We stiff do it cause it’s fun and it’s our special and very frugal thing!
Still
Love this Darcy! Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us!
Finally after 5 months of search i found the best youtube channel about being frugal !
I'm so so so glad you are here! Thank you so much for watching! See you next time!
KATE !!!!! THANK YOU !!!! Going to see my therapist is soooooo valueable to me !!!! AND THAT IS HOW I FOUND YOU KATE !!!! My therapist recommended your videos. So I started watching - and I freakin LOVE you !!! You are helping me so much!!!! To save money and to rebuild my self confidence! THANK YOU KATE !!
Cindy I'm very curious who your therapist is! That is so cool because I'm SO glad you are here!!!! I'm so glad I can be helpful. Love ya too!!!!! Thank you for your support and I'm so glad my content is valuable and I look forward to seeing ya here each week!
I couldn’t be without my pets x
yeah no way! pets rock! thanks for watching heidi!
I clean for a living and yes I say this all the time.Cleaning is a exercise and I love it.
That is so awesome Mary! Thank you so much!
I thought that your previous home was lovely! I had no idea you saw it as a simple home, but you've brought the same stylish approach to this house you've bought as you did to the previous home. Nobody would know you choose to live within a budget.
I totally hear you about cleaning with enthusiasm. I agree with that 100%. That's my favourite tip, although sleeping more is also a big favourite of mine. So hi and goodbye (for today) from me to Kate, to Kaden, to Buns (you camera hog!) and to Mister Hanum. Lovely video today, Kate. Thanks. It's nice to focus on the positive. And your USP among RUclipsrs in this niche is how much enjoyment you get out of living a full life within your means. (Obviously you won't always feel positive and nobody is asking for Pollyanna here - it's just nice that your overall trajectory is positive and upbeat.)
Amanda I adore you! I don't know what your voice sounds like, but I can hear it in my mind by the wonderful way you write. LOVE reading your comments! Buns IS a camera hog! BHAHAHAH!!!!!! Thank you so so much for being here and your thoughtful comments. Have a great weekend and see you next time!
Just talking about ☕️.
I love my ☕️ in the morning. Always have. Have always made mine at home. Currently I have a frother and if I don’t get the perfect amount of foam I call it sad coffee. I ❤️ ☕️.
YASSS!!! Omg, love that coffee! Drinking some right now:)
Morning everyone! I think self care/sleep are so important! Sleep is always a priority for me, I am miserable running on less than 6 hours of sleep. 7 is way better. I also take vitamins for self care. Vitamin D3, and B vitamins. They help protect you from getting sick and B12 helps your mood. I buy store brand for basic vitamins - research what I need and find the correct dosage for me. A side note - for me being frugal is buying basic things on sale - like soup, non perishable items. Winter is coming - time to stock up on some good old comfort frugal foods if we get snowed in :-).
Vitamins are a great way to stay healthy. They have really good sales in January, so this year I bought what I needed for the year in January.
Gooood morning Donna! SLEEP! YAS! Oh yes and love having some basics on hand that I got on sale! YASS!!!
When we took our daughter and teenage grandchildren to a cabin in the Cascade mountains for a week, one rainy day we played two board games...Bing Bang trivia game and a Bob Ross game. It was so much fun and a great way to pass the time until we could get back outside.

Happy Frugal Friday! I focus on what I have and be grateful for it however small, I list 10 things to be thankful for at night to keep me focused. Have a great game night!!!
Love that! You're the BEST!!!!!!! Thank you so much for being here! Keeping a list of 10 things each night is such a great way to stay focused.
Ive never had someone over for breaskfast but for a late lunch....And playing a card game like i declare war..one of my favorite card games....and i love having others over for a time to hang out....
Just bought 2 new games last night so I can have my adult children come over for family fun night! Growing up my husband’s family would have the grandparents in every Friday night and they would play cards. Always had homemade cheeseburgers and home fries. I don’t think I can get my children to commit to EVERY Friday night, but I’m thinkin’ once a month! I LOVE Clue! Haven’t played it in a million years! Didn’t know there was a master detective version! OooOoOoo….
YASSS!!! Clue is so so fun! Which games did you get?
I actually started to understand these concepts when I changed my relationship with food. Up until then, "healthy eating" had been all about "eat this, and absolutely not that". Even after that major shift had happened, for the longest time, I was still waiting for food and eating to start to feel "normal" and boring again. What I didn't understand, is that when I make a choice, freely, and eat/buy/do what I like, trust myself and own my chioces, it will always feel new and fresh and exciting. No burnout, no need for accountability partners, nobody having to "motivate" me.
I also changed my view on physical activity, and started utilizing everyday activities as exercise. Before, I used to think "self care" was bubble baths and gym memberships 🤦
How "special" and personal can our home look, if we decorate it the same way that everybody else?!
Now I can't even fathom how I used to think about things 😮
Just one thing, I'd be wary of buying "Mary Lay" products - as a general rule, bad spelling is a sign of fishyness. (See what I did there 😉)
BAHAHAHAH!!!!!! You are awesome!!!! That last line made me laugh out loud! Love this Inger! All of it! Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us. You rock!
Hi kaden that cat is nearly as big as you, he looks very happy with your cuddles. I live in Cardiff South Wales in the UK and we have a very special flag with a red dragon on it 🏴 love watching your mums videos and when you and your cat pop up makes me smile, i have two grandsons. Bye.
Thank you so so much Jan!
In North America, we have an all or nothing attitude towards meat. I have many Filipino friends and like many other Asian cultures, they often add small pieces of meat to a meal mixed with noodles or rice and vegetables.
No need for all or nothing! We don't need a big honkin' piece of meat every time. 😊
Hi Marcia! Thank you so so much for sharing with us! Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate you!
My favorite exercise is walking My Pug Ritzi...Also reading is mental exercise...Love 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡 to You & Kaden & the Fur Babies
RITZI!!! AWEEEEE!!!!!! Love it!!!!!
Definitely important to do self care and lots of sleep/rest. If you don’t have good health it affects every other aspect of your life. Been home two weeks with muscle sprain(possibly a tear) and am reevaluating how I need to take care of myself more. Health is everything’
I just found you and I am on a mini marathon.
I'm so glad!!!!
Kate I’m loving these early morning uploads I look forward to listening to them in the morning while I get ready for work.
Thank you so so much for this feedback! Several of you have shared that this is your new Friday morning routine since I started sharing them at 6am. I think I'll keep going with the new time so you have something to watch before work:):) Thank you so much for being here Rachael!
HEY KADEN!! You always bring a smile to our faces when you come to say hi! I hope you have a wonderfully fun day!! 😁
Thank you so much Dawn!!!!!!!
Love your channel so much! Alway good practical advice xx
Autumn you are my first comment of the day! Appreciate you so much! Happy Frugal Friday! See you next week. Thank you for being here!!!
Love love love frugal Friday! Have an awesome weekend! ❤ PS you look amazing!!
Jan, you are the sweetest! Thank you so much!
Have a good weekend Kate and Kaden!
Laura, thank you so so much! Love your new name!
I’m always excited for Friday because we get a new video from you!!! ❤️
Sleep is a priority for me however, insomnia is an issue. 😟. I keep working at it.
Have a great weekend!!! Love from Arizona! 😘😘😘😘
Connie! That means so much to me, thank you!!! I used to battle insomnia in my 20's. So brutal. Then I had Kaden and I feel like my body was like "what is this THING called sleep??...I'll TAKE IT EVERY CHANGE I CAN GET!" AHHHH! And then things were different, but I remember those sleepless nights. I was a night owl also and used to sleep in more. But now I'm up so early my body falls asleep graciously around 9:30pm. I hope it gets better! I know it will! Have a great weekend.
I’m a Spanish teacher in Texas and before going to work I love watching your videos ❤️
Oh yay!!!! I think I'll keep the 6am video release time then. Thank you for that feedback! Have a wonderful weekend!
Cleaning and gardening definitely exercise! What a lovely mum you are!
Oh yes. We all have that little extravagance we cling to. Thanks Kate 🦋🍁🍂🍃🌻
Thank you so much Judy!
Love this Kate, my favorite is making your home your favorite place, love it❤
YASSS!!!! Thank you Backroad Money!
love the cleaning for exercise. Gardening is great too. they say old gardeners are the healthiest!
YASSSS!!!
Definitely yes to all of these! 🌞 Especially to keep what you love...deprivation never has a positive outcome. Always take care of yourself. 💜
YASSS!!! Thank you so much Eileen! Have an amazing weekend!
Hi Kaden and Buns! I always love to see what you’re both up to! 😊
Thank you very much Kate for this awesome tips, hugs for Both of you ❤️
Thank you so much Flor! I appreciate you!
Hi Kate, you are absolutely right; cleaning is like exercise. Good tips; thank you! Have a nice week end.
Thank you so much Monique!
Really enjoyed this video..you seem to bring the content I need at just the right time..thankyou😊
Oh that's music to my ears Esther!!! I'm so glad. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and for being AWESOME!
I'm so glad you mentioned sleep! When I don't get enough, I make really bad decisions both financially (hello late night online shopping) and with my diet (hello late night snacking...while late night online shopping).
When I get the urge to shop, I now give in and buy all the free Amazon ebooks I want. I have it bookmarked. They have 100’s of pages of free ebooks. Everyday new free books are released. You can categorize by fiction and nonfiction.
If you don't focus on your wellness you are forced to focus on your illness.
Love the cleaning for exercise!!! Moving is so so so so important. And I hate cleaning with a passion but we have to do it. Might as well get some calorie burn out of it!
This was an all around great video, Kate! Thank you!
Thank you so so much Kimberly!
Hi Kate, thank you for saying those things. It is the most important thing to make your house a home. And it is life saving to sleep enough.......and Hi Kaden, you are so precious. :) 💜
The best thing about your blog is your cats!!! 💯❤️😻Thank you!
Love the breakfast idea with friends, less stress
Good Morning, for me it is #1 Keep what you love and enjoy life more. This is a great way to live life! Be it possessions, employment, relationships or living arrangements. Enjoy what makes you happy and everything else will fall into place. Have a beautiful day and thank you for sharing such great advice! Hi to Kaden and Buns!
YASSS Dianne, thank you! Kaden says hi and buns says...you guessed it...MEOOOOWWW!!!!!
You reminded me of one of my fav things growing up. My grandmother had 7 children and as the married we would gather Sunday’s around 5 (dinner was early for her) and we would have tea and maybe some cake or pie but it was always tea and conversation. It was usually the daughters that showed up and I was the youngest and sat around while the grown up talked. It shaped my world view listening to my mother, grandmother and aunts.
It’s not feasible to do it now but I might resurrect it with my friends later. Might be a great way to connect again in person. Anyway it’s a very inexpensive way to get together. Much love everyone!
Hey Kaden! Saying hi from Pennsylvania!!
Jewel I love this so much!!!!!!!! And Kaden says hi!
Your videos are so helpful and encouraging. When my kids were young we would have our grandparents over for ice cream sundaes. It was alot of fun. I like your ideas to have family game night, sounds like lots of fun. Self care is so important and we all take our vitamins, "try" to eat healthy choices as much as possible and drink plenty of water but I really love my coffee in the mornings!😁
Oh I love the grandparents over for ice cream sundaes!!!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us Roxeanne!
@@KateKaden it made for alot of happy memories.
Hi Kate, Kaden & Buns👋 Love all your tips, they make me think! Thanks for all you do. Stay safe 😷 & ✌
All fantastic tips! I can't just pick one 😁 Hi Kaden and Buns!
Kayla, thank you so so much!
Happy frugal Friday! I totally am in need of more sleep. Hi Kaden, so nice to see you. You’re growing so fast. Hi Buns. Have a great week ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning Toni!! So happy to see you! Thank you so so much. Have an awesome weekend. How is Kaden 8?!!? AHHH!!! Yes growing so fast:)
I loved the making my house a home. I really lean into that but hearing it inspires me more. Also cleaning as a work out. I just saved like 30 minutes a day. Thank you!! Hello from Panama!!
YASS!!! Absolutely!
Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much MK!
Hello, Kaden and Buns! Going to try to purchase the new Clue...great idea. Love that game. My grandkids will, too!
I used do a lot of these ideas when the kids were small and I was single. This reminded me how much fun it was and an be.
Hey, another Bonnie! What are the chances xD
Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us!
YAY! 2 Bonnies!!!!
French toast and bacon! Oh, can’t forget coffee and OJ or mimosas. That way you can buy very reasonable sparkling wine since you’re mixing it. Then a little nap when your guests head home. Only one bottle, as a treat, not as a start to a big day of drinking! This was an excellent list, Kate!! I like how calm and happy you were, a genuine pleasure to watch.
Minnie thank you so so much!!!!!!
Great video
Kaden you are the best!
Kaden says thank you Ms. Sheila!!!
I gather with my mum each Saturday and Sunday breakfasts she looks forward 👍😅
Love this!
Hey Kate, Happy Frugal Friday 😊 I'm already doing the exercise/cleaning thing especially with my 5 cats 😉 but I love the idea of having dinner & games night or meeting for breakfast as long as there's coffee 😜 Have a great weekend ❤
Hi Bex!!! YAY!!!! Hope you have an awesome weekend and thank you sooo much for being here!
@@KateKaden 🥰
I LOVE your personality ❣️
Thank you so much Lisa🙏🥰
Love your channel♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so so much LynndaRella!
Yes cleaning is good exercise
I do house cleaning for a side hustle
Perfect!!! Gianna thank you so much for watching and sharing with us!
Great video and WAY TO GO, BUNS! 🙀💝
Good morning Jeannette! Thank you so much!
Kate! I've missed your videos. So great.
So happy to see you Julie!!!!! See you again next Friday I hope🙏🥰
@@KateKaden I took a RUclips break to take on a second full time career as a life coach. Us single moms do what we have to. My daughter is off to college in a year. I'm now teaching full time and then life coaching nights and weekends. And I turned one of my favorite clients onto you and she LOVES you, of course!
I do a brunch for Thanksgiving. That gives my kids time to go to other gatherings later in the day. Gives me the rest of the day off.
I like the breakfast idea!
Thank you so much Andrea!
Its frugal Friday!
YAYYYY!!!! Thank you for being here!
13:37 That ebay tip is fantastic thank you!
Oooh! Thank you so much! That was the first time I heard that one and had to share!
Happy frugal Friday, Kate and K squad! These are all awesome 10 tips! But if I had to choose one, it would be to make your house a home! Or number two! Because this tip really helped me want to stay home more! After I got a fire TV stick, Alexa Amazon Echo Dot and re-arrange my furniture, it made me want to stay home a lot more! When I cut off satellite, which I rarely ever watched, it made me want to always want to go somewhere! But now that I get RUclips on my TV without even getting a smart TV, deceived me a lot of money and just staying home where I love to be save me a lot more money too! Everyone have an awesome frugal Friday and an amazing weekend!
Marino, love reading your comment each week. Thank you so so much. Have an amazing weekend my frugal friend!!!!!
I love your beautiful cat and how he turned up when love was mentioned!
Thank you so so much!
Awwww! I love your kitty!!
Thank you!!!!!! He's everywhere I am:) My sweet boy.
That pajama and cinnamon roll one sounds amazing
YASSS!!!! Thank you so so much for watching and sharing with us!
Catching up on your videos since I found your channel. My girlfriends (we all were coworkers at one time) and are now retired always have a breakfast together every month or two. It's the best. We meet at a local restaurant and usually it lasts 2-3 hours. Lots of talking and fun. We just make sure to let the waitress know that we will be there awhile and we definitely tip her well.
LOVE THIS! Thanks for sharing with us. So glad you are here!
Hi Kate... my mom always said cleaning, mowing the lawn, taking the stairs if you can, and just movement is good for a body. I don't mow, but do clean up after my two horses. And while I'm commenting... I want to add that you look great!
Your Mom is awesome and THANK YOU SO SO much for the compliment!!!! I'm so happy you are here.
Your Mom is awesome and thank you sooo much for the compliment! Have a great weekend and I'm so glad you are here KBS!
Hey Kate Kaden and Buns!!!!!!
Love all these tips, my favorites were the ones regarding sleep and other self care. You can't pour from an empty cup!
I save all my spaghetti sauce jars and use them for holding holiday goodies for gifting. I get tags from free sources, tie some dollar store ribbon on it to make it look cute.
PS. Start early
Love this Kitty!!!!
YAS!
Also I love to meet friends for walks! It’s exercise and free!
AHHH! I used to love going for walks with friends in college!!!!! So fun. Now it's walks with Kaden which is awesome!
Hi Kaden and Buns!
Good morning Barb! Thank you so much for watching!
You are so awesome ❤
I appreciate you! THANK YOUUU!!!!
The biggest one for me is to spend money on what's really important, don't waste it on the trivial stuff, and only YOU can decide what's important and what's trivial.
My wife and I had a home based desktop publishing / graphic design business back when that was a thing. We poured all our money into that and into almost nothing else.
We were showing off our setup to someone from a graphics class we were taking and they asked "How do you possibly have the money to do all of this?" the easy, flip answer was "We sell drugs." when in fact, we never went out to eat, we rarely went shopping except for something specific, we only had basic cable (because we were out of range of all the broadcast stations), we scrimped and saved until we could do almost anything graphics related.
Also, sleep is when you heal. It is Vitally important.
BTW, sugar hinders healing. I'm an adult. I don't need candy anymore. It is surprising just how much of our food these days is basically candy.
BAHAHHAH!! Love this!!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us. So glad you are here!
We had family over for a ‘breakfast for dinner’ evening and then played games. Also, we had everyone show up in their jammies:)
THIS SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN! LOVE IT!
Hi Kaden! Cool hair cut. 😎 Hi Buns! 💜
Thank youuuu!
We have themed nights food wise. Wednesday is wacky Wednesday breakfast for supper. Thursday is Italian night.
That sounds so fun!
I have a talkative tuxedo cat too. A veterinary nurse once told me that tuxedo cats are always goofy 🤪
They are the sweetest❤️😍
🤚 eBay shopper here. Cool tip. TFS 💜
Oh yay!!!! I had to share that one! Thank you!
Kate, how do you keep your home so clean?
I kind of just giggled because I think I half only film the areas that ARE CLEAN! LOL! Don't look in the other areas! LOL! But really though, I TRY but honestly I mess it up all week and then take a power hour and try and clean it up!

Thank you so much!
The fat finger Ebay tip a good one. My friend who's a mom of 3 and younger than me has to tell me to get my butt off tiktok and go to bed and I'm 41 lol but I do need her to tell me to go to bed
Thank you!
Sleep is the thing I need most to be the best mom I can be. At Saturdays I try to sleep in and now that my kids can be awake and not die or burn down our home I always ”forget” to put away the snacks from Friday nights movie night so the kids can eat is in the morning and don’t wake me up until it is all gone so that I wo’nt put it away 😂 They have still not figured out that it is done intentonally 🤷🏼♀️🙈 as a single mom you do what you gotta do
SLEEP is soooo important! I hear that! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Meowing on cue! Hey Buns!
He's too funny!
Have you played Payday? Such a great money learning game.
I was bad at record keeping money records in my early 20s so I have bern band from Ebay so now I look at Esty and Amazon for My Kawasaki gear
I'm sure you've learned over the years. 20's are tough to understand finances if no one has taught us yet.
Sheba just woke up hearing Buns... lol.
LOL!!!! Sorry Sheba!!!
Someone I worked with told me I probably still had a tube tv! It’s true, I didn’t add though that I cut the cord and don’t watch tv.
LOL! So glad you are here watching RUclips though! Thank you soo much for watching!!!!
Hi to all of you including Kaden and Buns. 🙂 hope you're all having a great day!
Thank you so much Linea!!! Have an amazing weekend! We appreciate you!
Ebay?yep.got some cool sarcastic tees,bulk makeup,bulk skull rings,bulk nail polish,and choker necklaces
