This might be a strange one but I stopped watching as many haul videos. I just started noticing I was buying more and more and when I stopped watching that type of content I reduced my shopping
A few years ago after a long illness I stopped decorating for Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. my life is so much simpler now, I keep the holidays in my heart as I'm a Christian, but without all the fuss and faff, and it saves so much money! You look fabulous by the way❤😊
I saw a video someone said something like: you were assigned a person at birth, and you have to take care of that person, what would you do, how would you speak to them, about them, for them. You were assigned yourself. Do a good job taking care of this person
I stopped watching a lot of TV in the last 5 months and started reading again and it’s been wonderful and a great way to reduce stress. I also bought an espresso maker and have been making my own coffee at home and I’m getting pretty good at it because all of my friends want a cup of coffee from me. ❤
Been watching you for 10 years ever since the apartment days and you by far are one of the only people who has never been a doubt in my mind about following I love your content I love your honesty, your transparency, and the woman that you are and continue to become. I will always follow you, and I am so thankful that for the past decade, gods gotten to share you with us and be a blessing to us moms out here you didn’t even know. Have so much love for you Brit, thank you for being such an amazing influence ❤
The first thing I thought of on this video, esp. when you mentioned doing car detailing at home and got your kids involved, now is a great time to start teaching them about money, tell your son why you're doing the detailing at home, and that leaves more money to do fun things with him and his sister, great teaching moment.
Some people may not believe this but I have never used a food delivery app. I think 5 years ago we had a pizza delivered while we were moving. One night we were talking about food delivery and that we don't even know how much it costs so I did a "mock order" for Chipotle. OMG!! No freaking way! The only time I could see justifying that would be if we were both sick in bed or house-bound for some reason or couldn't drive or walk.
One little tip I want to share with you. Castor oil 😁 It's not called natures botox for no reason. It's fantastic 😅 I use it every night. You can mix it with your night cream, or just blend a little Castor oil with coconut oil. It will take a little while to get suched up by your skin, but it's worth it. I've listened to a doctor on RUclips, who has a skincare clinic, but he also said spending money on botox is not necessary. And Castor oil also have a lot of healthy benefits. It can kill inflammation +++++ lots of other illnesses. I can send you a few links if you want 😊 Take care. Bighug from Sweden 😊😊
God's Oil! It's Amazing! I use it with a pad on my tummy at night and it has helped reduce my gutt issues. I started using it on my face and neck at night rubbing over my eyes and can see a huge difference. f I Could Bathe in Castor Oil I Would! 😂
If u live near a SAFEWAY or Albertsons try Cafe Casero instant coffee. It does Not taste like instant. It is intensely dark like expresso. For $7 u can't go wrong.
I trim and tone my hair at home- and cut the frequency of my salon visits in half!! My husband and I also compromised - so we do all of our own yardwork and landscaping but we pay for a house cleaner for the interior of our home. This kind of evened out cost-wise but saved us from many disgruntled fights about chores! I call that a win!
Brittany, you're always stunning. I've been watching since before Carter was born, and I just love seeing you grow as a person. Always sending you positive vibes ❤❤
I have a poodle mix and started grooming her at home. She needs a haircut every 4-6 weeks and it costs about 100$ each time. So I watched some RUclips tutorials and bought some clippers and do it at home. It’s also so much less stress for my dog!
That's amazing. I actually feel good for you, not only for financial reasons but the fact that you are doing things by yourself. It brings back the value of life of being resourceful, smart and independent instead of always calling or using services like if we were lazy, dumb or don't know how to do things by ourselves. Just coffee, it's a big step up. Do you know how much coffee are sold everyday from fast food like Mcdonald, Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks just because we don't make it on our own? I don't know but I am sure it's millions everyday just for coffee.
I have started eating at home before going out with friends or to a nice dinner. That sounds silly but unless it’s something I really WANT to go all out on, I eat a snack or something light before I leave the house so I’m less inclined to order more food while I’m out.
Being broke i never had any of these😅. But ive always cut my kiddos hair, now i also cut my own. Found a fantastic tutorial on youtube. Saves me $70 a year. Not alot but ill take it! ❤
I hear ya! I cut my kids' hair and my husband's hair. I should learn to cut my own because it's been 2 years since I got a haircut 😬. I do trim my own bangs, but not the ends of the rest.
One thing I’ve noticed is that if you wear your normal nails, nobody notices. If you have on nice nails, they notice. And if you have tacky-outgrown nails, they notice that too. So I just go bare.
Yep, everyone comments how nice and healthy my nails are, coz all I do is use a 4-in-1 file and buffing block on them every few days 😂 I also push back my cuticles and moisturise over night (with either "The Body Shop" brand hemp hand protector or their almond oil hand&nail cream) like once per week.
I post on my content and get off social media after. I check my comments once a day. Or I ask myself what would the successful/ healthiest version of myself be doing. Definitely starting speaking to myself better and kinder. Love your content ❤
Cut the cable cord 3 years ago. Tools a few months to adjust to it but now I only pay for Netflix. There are many free ways to watch shows and I utilize RUclips free so much. Also learned to wax my brows and my daughter’s brows, learned to cook many things, through RUclips cutting down dining expenses
I have been watching you for years and this is one of my favourite videos, Not only are all the tips practical and achievable but this is the happiest I've seen you in so long, Thanks .
I quit the nail salon about 2 years ago. I’m learning how to wax myself now! I’ve also quit coffee both at home and out and now only do tea - specifically the Bigelow vanilla chai and recently discover the toasted coconut almond bark SO GOOD
Good for you Brittany. I am a huge proponent of reading and I know for sure that reading improves your vocabulary and your spelling. I’m retired and I do have several streaming services. I live in a rural area about 1 hour from a bigger shopping area, so I do watch a lot of movies etc. The most recent thing, that I gave up was monthly salon trips. I was in the hospital for a lengthy stay and discovered as my hair was growing in, it was a very pretty white, so now instead of $60 a month it’s an occasional trim ( so inexpensive in Upstate NY but it’s all relative). Baby steps, now I do need to take a good look at my streaming services and my automatic monthly subscriptions. Thank you for the ideas.
I love this video. Very relevant. I quit getting deep conditioning treatments at hair salons because they were charging me like $30-$50 and I just do at home. I also would go and get the blow dry bar once a week sometimes I stopped doing that. I don’t go out as often for dinner but when I do, it’s at a more special place and I always get my facial every month.
Definitely quit Starbucks! Also, even though I don't like super sweet coffee, I was still drinking 7g of sugar for a grande! Im also down 60 pounds by making small changes like this. So it's a win win!
Another reason NOT to do food deliveries . . . A few wks back, I heard on the news that "X" number of food delivery people admit to "sampling" their deliveries. Some carry staplers in their vehicles to reclose things. Even had a person on a camera in a parking lot slurping thru a deliver and resealing!! UGH
One thing I changed in the last year & a half is going to my local grocery store & Target once a week. I go to Costco & Sam’s once a month and only visit my local Wegmans maybe once or twice a month. I’ll definitely say I’m saving a lot more money (& time) on food and household items.
Yes! I like to buy big bags of carrots, peppers, mushrooms, courgettes (zucchini) etc. Then I'll peel and chop them up, and portion them into freezer tubs, ready to pop into my slow cooker for ragu/taco soup/chilli etc. when I need them. It saves my veggies from just wilting/rotting and going to waste in the fridge 🤭 ... Frozen veggies are so much simpler and more eco-friendly 💗 I also batch-cook, so that I have a couple of leftover portions I can freeze, and have "homemade ready meals" as I call them. This trick has saved me countless times when I don't have the time or energy to cook that night, or if everyone wants different meals! Not to mention when Covid hit us a few years ago and we had to isolate. Keeping a stocked freezer (with a dozen of my meals) is so important to me, to provide for my family, come what may.
Excellent List. There are a bunch of things that you mentioned that I already do like: car washing, home made cappuccinos, cooking at home, etc. However, I got some new ideas like silicone scar tape and Japanese tape. I will try them. Thanks for sharing.
Great episode… glad you are doing things to make you happy… Children with a happy Mom… have a happier life…not that a Mom never has problems or issues but how you handle them is a lesson for them too! Great job!!!
I liked the car cleaning one here in UK people always queuing for car wash, costs nothing a bucket of water and some cleaning products, easy way to save money.
We only use a basic carwash since moving to our current apartment... Not so easy to do when you live 3 floors up and have to park down the street 😅 Before that - when we had a ground floor place with a driveway - I would run the vacuum's cord out the window, and run buckets of water etc. No worries!
Brittany, you are always so inspiring and amazing. I started watching your vdos before my first pregnancy just to get to see some quality content on youtube. It was 8 yrs back and iam still in love with all your contents. Iam so happy to be with your life journey through this virtual world. I always admire you❤ through these yrs the way you have become this beautiful human being. So inspiring and encouraging. Stay happy n blessed dea. Looking forward to see more n more ❤❤❤
South African here. We said no to a television, since 2002. No to beauty salons, no to cosmetic procedures. No to home delivered foods. No to entertaining. Yes to shopping for fresh, seasonal food at a wholesaler. Yes to gas hob cooking. Yes to solar powered water heating. Yes to two unfashionable small cars. Yes to home hair styling. Just shaved a bit of a gap in eyebrow. Mistakes happen. Glasses cover it up while I wait for castor oil to proliferate that brow!😂😂😅😅
I dye my hair once a month for years by myself and it looks great 🙂 I also do my own gel nails with a UV lamp. We have a home gym, so no gym subscription for me. We cook at home, so takeaways are a rare occasion. 🎉
I love these kinds of videos! Feels like The OG Brittany! Has anyone told you that you remind them of Tonya Leigh? She’s a mindset coach who runs SOSI (School of Self Image). Anyhow, she uses a similar mantra to what you mentioned that has changed my life! Every day I look at a sticky note I have in my planner that says, “I am not a woman who beats herself up for things [I did or said in the past].” ❤
✨❤️I’ve stopped IG, never did ticktock, and unsubscribed from so many YTers…❤️but love your channel and content‼️ So please don’t assume we see your IG stories…would love to see WIEIAD and cooking content ❤
With RUclips school, my husband and I save SO MUCH money On doing our own hair cuts and he dyes my hair! There are SO MANY tutorials! And my kids actually prefer me to cut their hair and I find it sweet ❤ 😊 and my husband did a bomb job on my hair color!
I have dumbed down my skincare routine. I use one serum and moisturizer with an SPF, none of this 10 step skin care, and my skin looks better than it has in years. Simplify that ish.
I would love a video on cat care and what you use and would never use and why. I’m in love with my two cats as well and I love and respect you and your content
I did something similar a few months ago and it is liberating! I am also going through a divorce and let's just say my soon to be ex is sending text's that he shouldn't especially at night time robbing my sleep. So I turned off all notifications. I didn't have social media notifications for years now. But I also turned off text messages. I will check my messages when I have time to check my phone. Ppl know and they know to call if something is urgent. I'm a college student and when I'm doing school I need to focus. Emotional texts is the least I need or a buzzing phone!
Is it true that in the US when you have something delivered to your house, like a takeaway, (meal) you tip the driver? We don’t usually do that in the UK. I could never give up social media. I’m single & live alone & often the only contact I have with other people is on Facebook etc. Brittany, your skin & hair always looks lovely.
I try to take One-way Non-stop travel. Saves me on Airport Lounge and just exhausting layovers. Sometimes I ask a responsible friend to drive me to airport -would rather pay themz+ tip than just a stranger. I go to Costco and get Nature Protein Bars and socks for the homeless-cheaper than $.
I wish I could say I quit something to save money, but we are very frugal and pragmatic, so there is not anything, for now, that can be cut, unless it is a weekend outing at a restaurant. Not for the food, but getting out and a change of scene as I am home all day. Glad that u are doing well.
Please don't use face tape. Like you said the affect is only temporary and dermatologists don't recommend it stating that it can increase skin laxity, accelarate signs of aging, damage the skin barrier, and possibly cause irritation or dryness. This temporary fix could cause long term damage.
With the responding to messages, I found it helps me to type whatever I would want to say.. then i run it through Chat GPT and tell it to make it nicer or more whatever the outcome I need it to have
No paper towels or napkins. Only wash clothes or hand towels. Evaluate what you eat. If you throw food away you are wasting money big time. Adjust what you buy, meal prep and buy what you will eat. And don’t buy things you don’t need to eat. Write down everything you buy for a month or 2. Reflect on everything on all of your purchases and see if those things were worth the purchase or if you could have done without to save money. Setting a set budget for what you can spend your money on each month also helps to save.
Looking back to my past i cant believe i used to buy so many clothes all the time and i barely wore most. Now i buy my clothes in secondhand stores to reduce clothing waste, and i keep wearing/repairing them until theyre beyond saving before i buy a new one. It makes me SO much happier and picking an outfit was never easier. Also i heard fillers never really go away, they just migrate to different areas of people's face so please really think it through before deciding to get fillers. Also fillers are not meant for young people, no matter what they keep pushing in social media.
Im trying to fix my finances and cut back on spending of all kinds. The struggle is that Im pregnant for the first time and need a bunch of stuff and clothes to fit my 7 months belly but have no funds to have more pieces. It will be a very outfit repeat season for me but everything else I think I can more easily limit or stop to save money.
I stopped watching tv about five years ago. Stopped Netflix because I wasn’t watching it. If I want some decor I look in the cupboard, haven’t bought anything for the house in three years (except for six new bread and butter plates as the glaze had gone). ❤
I also do not have cable nor streaming services. I have saved thousands or dollars over the years. I realize I am fortunate to live in an area where I can get free commercial TV through an antenna. Like you, I subscribe to RUclips premium, and have found it's well worth the money.
What about your hair costs? Just curious? It’s beautiful, but I started cutting my own hair and coloring at home, saves me so much! Also cut the kids hair, and husband cuts the dogs hair lol

This might be a strange one but I stopped watching as many haul videos. I just started noticing I was buying more and more and when I stopped watching that type of content I reduced my shopping
Same!
Same! Watching more decluttering videos instead! Overconsumption is so real!
Yes!!! Influencers are friendly salespeople 🤣 influencing non-essential purchasing … it’s their business!
It’s ALL commercials.
I've been watching more educational videos. & I've saved SO MUCH MONEY!!! 😉
A few years ago after a long illness I stopped decorating for Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. my life is so much simpler now, I keep the holidays in my heart as I'm a Christian, but without all the fuss and faff, and it saves so much money! You look fabulous by the way❤😊

Some people may not believe this but I have never used a food delivery app. I think 5 years ago we had a pizza delivered while we were moving. One night we were talking about food delivery and that we don't even know how much it costs so I did a "mock order" for Chipotle. OMG!! No freaking way! The only time I could see justifying that would be if we were both sick in bed or house-bound for some reason or couldn't drive or walk.
I've never used them either but if I was disabled or sick I could definitely see the value of it.
Never have used them but I feel if someone is house bound or older that an excellent service to have! It
Always growing as a person. Love that about you! Hope you're doing well! ❤
thank you!! im certainly trying
I have been going through an entire house declutter this year, and I will NEVER go back to the frivolous spending!!
Me either😮
I am working on that.
One little tip I want to share with you. Castor oil 😁
It's not called natures botox for no reason. It's fantastic 😅
I use it every night. You can mix it with your night cream, or just blend a little Castor oil with coconut oil. It will take a little while to get suched up by your skin, but it's worth it.

It can kill inflammation +++++ lots of other illnesses. I can send you a few links if you want 😊
Take care. Bighug from Sweden 😊😊
Use silk pillows cases 2:46 . Cotton absorbs moisture, so it absorbs the moisture from your hair and skin.
God's Oil! It's Amazing! I use it with a pad on my tummy at night and it has helped reduce my gutt issues. I started using it on my face and neck at night rubbing over my eyes and can see a huge difference. f I Could Bathe in Castor Oil I Would! 😂
@@seemaprasad6677 That's also good 👍
@@lindalambert8712
Yes 👍 😊
Me too, I mix it with black seed oil and frankincense ❤❤❤ wonderful!
You should do a video about your coffee machine and how you make your coffee. I really want to get an espresso machine!
I will!! I share on my IG stories but I need to do it here as well
That's a great idea! I'm too intimidated by those coffee machines. I have no idea how to take coffee to the next level. I would love a video on it!
If u live near a SAFEWAY or Albertsons try Cafe Casero instant coffee. It does Not taste like instant. It is intensely dark like expresso. For $7 u can't go wrong.
A favorite memory from my childhood was washing our cars with my dad…he taught me everything ‼️✨
This!! Let’s bring this back for our kids.

Completely agree. Home pedicures just are NOT the same

Yes to home hair styling. Just shaved a bit of a gap in eyebrow. Mistakes happen. Glasses cover it up while I wait for castor oil to proliferate that brow!😂😂😅😅
I dye my hair once a month for years by myself and it looks great 🙂 I also do my own gel nails with a UV lamp. We have a home gym, so no gym subscription for me. We cook at home, so takeaways are a rare occasion. 🎉
I love your channel so much your tips are so helpful!!! 💕💕
Thanks for watching, it means so much!! 💕
I quit vaping bout 10 months ago saved me about $1000 when the year finishes
I love these kinds of videos! Feels like The OG Brittany! Has anyone told you that you remind them of Tonya Leigh? She’s a mindset coach who runs SOSI (School of Self Image). Anyhow, she uses a similar mantra to what you mentioned that has changed my life! Every day I look at a sticky note I have in my planner that says, “I am not a woman who beats herself up for things [I did or said in the past].” ❤
Yasssssss! Love Tonya 💕 Brittany def has a Tonya vibe
Bosch make a wet/dry detailing vacuum/ tile/floor/upholstery cleaner so one can detail one's own belongings.
Always love saving $.
These are SO good! One way I'm cutting back is to buy fewer convenience items at the grocery store. I can hard boil my own eggs and make my own pico.
I think I’ve had my car detailed once in my life. Lol
Prior to making a purchase. I make sure it doesn’t require a subscription for continued use.
yes! or I cancel it immediately
Such great tips as always!
Thank you!! I hope these help you simplify too!
Thanks for sharing! I love how many different ways there are to save money!
✨❤️I’ve stopped IG, never did ticktock, and unsubscribed from so many YTers…❤️but love your channel and content‼️ So please don’t assume we see your IG stories…would love to see WIEIAD and cooking content ❤
Nikol of Fierce Aging is so positive and reinforcing of us women.❤❤❤
This is a wonderful video! Great ideas and inspiration. Smart Lady!!
With RUclips school, my husband and I save SO MUCH money On doing our own hair cuts and he dyes my hair! There are SO MANY tutorials! And my kids actually prefer me to cut their hair and I find it sweet ❤ 😊 and my husband did a bomb job on my hair color!
Not responding to texts is a good one!
I have dumbed down my skincare routine. I use one serum and moisturizer with an SPF, none of this 10 step skin care, and my skin looks better than it has in years. Simplify that ish.
Great video! These types of videos are so useful! Thank you! 😊
Hi Brittany ty so much.-excellent tips. Especially for well being. Btw, I love your super cozy chair! You looked so comfortable in it.
I would love a video on cat care and what you use and would never use and why. I’m in love with my two cats as well and I love and respect you and your content
Love this video! I recently started cutting away at streaming services but this video has some great ideas. Thank you!
I love your ideas. You’re brilliant ❤
I quit alcohol 😉 It's saved me hundreds!
I did something similar a few months ago and it is liberating!
I am also going through a divorce and let's just say my soon to be ex is sending text's that he shouldn't especially at night time robbing my sleep. So I turned off all notifications. I didn't have social media notifications for years now. But I also turned off text messages. I will check my messages when I have time to check my phone. Ppl know and they know to call if something is urgent.
I'm a college student and when I'm doing school I need to focus. Emotional texts is the least I need or a buzzing phone!
Great advice, thank you for sharing!
Is it true that in the US when you have something delivered to your house, like a takeaway, (meal) you tip the driver?
We don’t usually do that in the UK.
I could never give up social media. I’m single & live alone & often the only contact I have with other people is on Facebook etc.
Brittany, your skin & hair always looks lovely.
Yes… we tip for most things here it’s gotten a bit out of control imo
I try to take One-way Non-stop travel. Saves me on Airport Lounge and just exhausting layovers.
Sometimes I ask a responsible friend to drive me to airport -would rather pay themz+ tip than just a stranger. I go to Costco and get Nature Protein Bars and socks for the homeless-cheaper than $.
I wish I could say I quit something to save money, but we are very frugal and pragmatic, so there is not anything, for now, that can be cut, unless it is a weekend outing at a restaurant. Not for the food, but getting out and a change of scene as I am home all day. Glad that u are doing well.
Please don't use face tape. Like you said the affect is only temporary and dermatologists don't recommend it stating that it can increase skin laxity, accelarate signs of aging, damage the skin barrier, and possibly cause irritation or dryness. This temporary fix could cause long term damage.
With the responding to messages, I found it helps me to type whatever I would want to say.. then i run it through Chat GPT and tell it to make it nicer or more whatever the outcome I need it to have
Oh my gosh brilliant!!
Me and my kids rotate streaming services so when we are done with one we pause it and chose another instead of having 3-4 running at the same time. 🌸
No paper towels or napkins. Only wash clothes or hand towels. Evaluate what you eat. If you throw food away you are wasting money big time. Adjust what you buy, meal prep and buy what you will eat. And don’t buy things you don’t need to eat. Write down everything you buy for a month or 2. Reflect on everything on all of your purchases and see if those things were worth the purchase or if you could have done without to save money. Setting a set budget for what you can spend your money on each month also helps to save.
Ordering your nail kit to start doing my nails at home! I do gel/dip and spend $120 a month! I also dread going to the salon every 2-3 weeks
ITS A GAME CHANGER!!!
Looking back to my past i cant believe i used to buy so many clothes all the time and i barely wore most. Now i buy my clothes in secondhand stores to reduce clothing waste, and i keep wearing/repairing them until theyre beyond saving before i buy a new one. It makes me SO much happier and picking an outfit was never easier.
Also i heard fillers never really go away, they just migrate to different areas of people's face so please really think it through before deciding to get fillers. Also fillers are not meant for young people, no matter what they keep pushing in social media.
Omg me too... I loved looking at my closet full of clothes but I never wore them and it truly stressed me out!!
♥♥♥ Your at-home nail how-to videos convinced me to try it, and I can't thank you enough for that!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the TRUTH!
I’ve been wondering what you’ve been doing on your skin. You have looked years younger and it made me realize how much your kids look like you!
Oh my goodness thank you!!!
I think she looks amazing because she is away from toxicity…. ❤
Great tips!
The gym! I walk around my neighborhood and use my own hand weights.
LOVED this whole video, great tips!! I don’t have a tv or any cable etc either.
Im trying to fix my finances and cut back on spending of all kinds. The struggle is that Im pregnant for the first time and need a bunch of stuff and clothes to fit my 7 months belly but have no funds to have more pieces. It will be a very outfit repeat season for me but everything else I think I can more easily limit or stop to save money.
oh my gosh thank you so much I needed this a lot ❤
Can you please let me know the exact name of the scar/wrinkle prevention tape you are using and where to get it. Thank you so much
I have it in the description box 🤍
I stopped watching tv about five years ago. Stopped Netflix because I wasn’t watching it. If I want some decor I look in the cupboard, haven’t bought anything for the house in three years (except for six new bread and butter plates as the glaze had gone). ❤
What is that chair called at 3:00? It looks so comfy
This was my fav of your videos!❤
Great tips 🎉 where did you get that rocking chair it’s so cute looks so comfy!
my reading chair I loveeee amzn.to/4eL8dlW
I also do not have cable nor streaming services. I have saved thousands or dollars over the years. I realize I am fortunate to live in an area where I can get free commercial TV through an antenna. Like you, I subscribe to RUclips premium, and have found it's well worth the money.
I eat out usually once every 2weeks at the most enjoy cooking using up left overs
Hair coloring. I'm 63 and I went natural gray. I love it. Those were all great suggestions.
I gave up the fight of dyeing my hair at the age of 49. I'm a silver vixen too!
Looove this video ❤
What about your hair costs? Just curious? It’s beautiful, but I started cutting my own hair and coloring at home, saves me so much! Also cut the kids hair, and husband cuts the dogs hair lol
I would be concerned about that red light therapy though. I’m sure it helps collagen production. What does it destroy in the process?
