I make my own cleaning/disinfecting solution: Spray bottle 1/2 full of water, 1/2 full of white vinegar, a few drops of blue original Dawn dishwashing liquid and 40 drops of lemon essential oil. Works like a charm. Even spray on shower doors and rinse. No scrubbing! 🌞
I have never bought those laundry scent beads. They weren't even invented for the first 45 years of my life. I am sure my laundry smells fine without them.
Great commentary, thank you! I think the current pandemic has helped all of us to take a look at what we spent money on in the past that we no longer need to.
I agree that a few good quality items in any category are sufficient whether it’s jewelry, clothes, or purses. I agree about decorations too. I wish I had this mindset when I was younger.
I am not doing manicures or pedicures either. After quarantine lifted and our nail salons opened, the prices increased by $30! I used to pay $50 for both, and now it is $80. So I stopped. Especially since we have a goal to pay off our house in 3 years, I had to ask myself if mani/pedis were really necessary. Thanks for sharing these tips! P.S. We are 11-year vegans, and yes, we save tons of money by not buying meat. Especially when we go out for dinner because we order all plant-based side items
Coconut oil is also great to use instead of shaving cream. I also use it as a face moisturizer, toothpaste (mixed with baking soda and sea salt), diaper cream for baby, dogs coat to make it soft and shiny... the list goes on! I also make all my own cleaners which saves a lot!
I can’t tell you how many people I follow on RUclips and Instagram that complain about their Christmas decor and just CANT WAIT to take it all down. Well why put it up in the first place?
I hear people complaining also about all the stress of shopping besides taking the decor down. I simply don't keep xmas, tons of money and time saved!!
....yes, means NOTHING TO THE CREATOR, of all matter, force energy, Time, space and distance. HE only recognizes, those who OBEY WHAT JESUS CHRIST SAID, and lived, by EXAMPLE. please prove all things, read Jeremiah chapter 10:1-4. this whole nation, is worshipping DEAD THINGS. ....and is becoming more dead, daily.
For pet messes or just terrible yucky stuff I have paper towels. I'm with you. Can't deal with putting pet urine soaked rags in my washer either. Yuck!
Yep. I have cats. Cats come along with hairballs.😖 And one cat has a problem with eating too much, too fast sometimes. Yeah, I'm sure you can put 2 and 2 together.😖😖 Yes, I do try to be careful with how much i feed him, and I space each meal out over 2 or 3 "courses", but sometimes it still happens. Paper towels for the win!!🥇👍🏻
I just filmed it for you. I hadn't planned it, but since you asked I went ahead and will post it today. Be on the lookout. Thank you all for taking the time to watch and comment!
I totally agree about the beauty products! I like to try new things but I’m cautious about it and make sure it has ingredients that I won’t react to. I am always so tempted by new products that come out but I try to remind myself to just stick to what I know works best!
No shaving cream for me! I’ve used body wash or conditioner my whole life. I also make my own exfoliating cream to use before shaving of coconut oil and sugar. I also don’t buy disposable razors. I bought a nice stainless handle and buy the razors that go in it. I can change the razor more often for a better shave and I’m still using the box of razors that were under $10 two years later. I recommend the leaf brand handle for women as the head moves and goes over our curves better than a standard safety razor. This has saved my extremely sensitive skin!
Tip to getting a good deal on meat every year in March order your side of meat before warmer weather jacks up the pricing,every year we stock up our deep freeze we 3 sides of beef for steak and 50 pounds of lean ground beef, and always buy the reduced meat like roasts and chicken.....meat can be affordable if shopping the sales. For clothing and holiday decor shop at thrift stores.

I LOVE how my house looks for Christmas, but hate to put it all away so a couple years ago I decided to use very minimal items (tiny tree, pillows and Christmas throws, Nativity and some holiday kitchen towels. The rest of the house gets a natural facelift with fresh greenery, pointsettias a Christmas cactus and an amarylis. The greens and pointsettias get tossed after the holiday and the amarylis goes after it finishes blooming. My Christmas cactus, though, carries on through the year. Keeps things simple, quick and not too pricy. My pet peeve is fountain drinks or bar drinks. I don't pay for them. If I want to have a cocktail or beer, I have it at home. If I am running around, I keep a bottle of water. Just frosts me to pay as much for one drink as I could pay for a big bottle.
Minimizing or stop eating meat is the best decision one can ever make. Especially red meats. It is going to save a lot of money and the good health is a huge bonus. I have tremendously reduced my meat consumption and I enjoy great health and savings. 100% agree with you on this.
Good points, Jennifer. I can relate to all of them. I feel like a few of us could stock a drugstore with our excess cosmetics supplies! I also don't purchase fabric softener or plastic sandwich bags.
You should do another one of these videos.....11 more things I won't buy. It's always interesting to see how other people are frugal. Also, what do you do for teacher gifts? .....like for their birthdays and holidays. Thank you. Keep up with these awesome videos.
Hi there! Just found your channel! Absolutely with you on doing things your way and yourself to save time, stress and money. About to enjoy my evening cuppa here in England whilst I check out your other videos.
Whaaaa ?? That shave cream tip is awesome. It's hot alot here in southern California being comfortable is a must . loose clothing need need need to survive here lol.
OMG, I love your channel even more now that I realised how much in common we have, I follow a whole plant based diet, with no meat and trying so much to practice minimalism and I like all your tips.
I agree with most people of what you said, especially Christmas decorations. For years I did the decorations for everyone else, NO MORE. What I do love are certain cook books and I use my garlic press everyday. My old one broke and I did without for awhile until I realized that for me it is some what essential.
I do all of your don't buys except the meat. I use the leftover shampoo suds as my body soap. I always keep paper towels but a roll lasts me several months. I look at it like If people lived without something 100 years ago it is not a bare necessity. I am not saying that I won't use other things or that other things are not very useful and should be bought just that they are add-ons that are a choice. A few high-quality items are better than a lot of cheap junk items.
Same here. Had some health problems. My Dr ran tests and said I was deficient in some vitamins and she said eat meat. Much better now. I was vegan and ate beans and veggies and it was not enough nutrition for me.
@@Wonderwomanstarlight yep that’s what usually happens. I went keto and my medical conditions all but disappeared, many. Trying carnivore now just to see how I feel when off of all other food sources.
Me too! After you've been vegan or vegetarian for a while, it weakens your bones and you end up with osteoporosis. I will never go back to that. Meat heals so many things.
My father said always by classics. A great coat and shoes. I brought a $400.00 black dress. It was on sale for $100.00. Fit great looked great well made. I noticed a button was missing. I also know well made clothes have extra buttons in one of the seams. Asked for a discount got the dress for $50.00. Still wear it th hat was 20 years ago.
I reuse my seasonal decor lol. I have summer, spring, halloween, Thanksgiving and x mas. None of the small holidays like fourth of July or saint Patrick's day lol. I enjoy it because there are alot of kids in the neighborhood lol. I find it alot of fun lol. But keep it cheap and recycle.
I love your video! Christmas is the only holiday we decorate for. I purchased all of our items the first year we moved in and we’ve used the same items since then; it’s all mainly garland and white lights. I just learned how to DIY Christmas tree cones and natural ornaments. It sure does make me sad when we put everything away though! Thank you for making this video. ☺️
100% virgin Olive Oil is GREAT... I use it for cooking , body oil, a bit if hair care for scalp, and I bless my house with it once I pray over it. It is a good thing to use.
i hear u on the makeup! i discovered a great everyday look and it saves time and money. Who coordinates outfits to make up anyway or days of the week etc crazy waste of time and money
I've never done any of the things you suggest we stop doing, bar one! Meat! I eat organic meat/steak and love it. I eat very few vegetables. I did this also for health reasons. I'm old now, and have a wonderful life because of all the money I've saved doing exactly what you say. Thank you! Have heard you for the first time and subscribed!
I stopped getting mani/pedi too! So expensive. Can spend like $100 for both here in Australia. Not worth it to me. Rather spend that money on an activity can do with my family. I have plenty of nail polish at home!
I'm almost 63 and I've never had a mani or pedi. I do get my hair cut AND colored, though. I'm not about to try rocking the gray haired granny look!👵🏻😄
When I started shaving, I used soap. Then for some reason I started using shaving cream. No more. And if I’ve run out of soap, I’ll use shampoo for a couple days to wash up. Who cares? Soap is soap. No more makeup, baby wipes, leave in conditioner spray, paper towels, air wick air freshener sticks, cleaning supplies. Bleach, baking soda, dish soap, vinegar. All have multiple uses. Meat is expensive. I eat less meat as well. No more fast fashion. I have a capsule wardrobe. No more knick knacks, candles, decor. No need. Less decisions. Less to clean.
I do love sterling silver jewelry. I don’t wear my gold jewelry anymore and other than a few pieces, I will probably end up selling it. But I do wearing sterling a lot.
Personally, I use dr bronners liquid castile soap. You can use it for everything. Shampoo, body wash, use instead of toothpaste, use on pets, dilute it for degreasing surfaces, laundry (great for washable masks) I have yet to find anything as versatile as this stuff. It even comes in different scents
I use home made soap for cleaning. I make soap with used oil my friends give me. This soap is used for the wishes, clothes, floor... I love it. It's 100% natural and nothing is wasted. We are environmentally friendly and we recicle everything.
For health reasons I had to go Keto. I began to go into insulin resistant. So now I get all my calories in 1.5 meals. I say .5 because I drink a bullet proof coffee in the mornings and that is I guess my meal replacement. So I get you on the switching to just one side.
Yeah to your vegetarian/vegan lifestyle! I eat plant based as of recent and feel so much better! And how about dry beans! So yum and so much better than meat and wayyy cheaper:))
Thank you for this Jennifer and although a lot of this information doesn't pertain to me ; it's great food for thought ! One question I have that maybe you (or your fan base) can assist ; is there a frugal/minimalist male that I can also subscribe to as well?
Aside from the obvious life altering financial destruction to small businesses, them get shut down saved me SOOOO much money this year. I am not one for take out. I went to restaurants for the experience, and only now realize what a waste of money it was and how much it added up. I’d rather cook yummy food at home and pocket my savings!
Turning vegan!!! Congrats smart move,welcome to the tribe👏🍓🍒🍎🍑🍄🌽🍌🍍🍏🍈 affordable, healthy,good for the environment,good for all sentient beings,win win allround
vegan for health reasons is not vegan, it is plant based. veganism is an animal rights movement!! if you're "vegan for your health" you're just plant based - as that's the food side of it btw :) great tips
I don't buy most of the stuff you've said also. About food totally understand, but just curious have you done research about ketogenic diet and Intermittent Fasting, but in deeper level? Check up dr.Eric Berg on RUclips 😍 it's life changer 😘
Hi Sunny, I actually haven't made any money on RUclips. My channel didn't become eligible for monetization until a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I don’t use shaving cream either! I’ve been using my conditioner since I was in middle school!
Body wash versus a bar of Dove soap. Buy multiple bars in a pack and save a bunch of money.
I make my own cleaning/disinfecting solution:
Spray bottle 1/2 full of water, 1/2 full of white vinegar, a few drops of blue original Dawn dishwashing liquid and 40 drops of lemon essential oil. Works like a charm. Even spray on shower doors and rinse. No scrubbing! 🌞
Thank you! I'll try this.
Yep. I make the same. Multiple uses for all these products
Read your comment a month ago. Have tried it for the last couple of weeks. It works! Thank you 😊.
Thinking, what if I add bleach to your cocktail 🤔
I have never bought those laundry scent beads. They weren't even invented for the first 45 years of my life. I am sure my laundry smells fine without them.
Great commentary, thank you! I think the current pandemic has helped all of us to take a look at what we spent money on in the past that we no longer need to.
Agree with this and really hope it's given people time/a reason to reevaluate how they choose to spend their money.
It's so important to look at what we spend and just realize what we don't actually get value out of. Thanks for sharing!
100% agree!
Had my first manicure in two and one half years! Ten bucks! I do my own nails and I do my own pedicures! Kudos to you!

This is me! I do it for my family. I’d never put it up in the first place if it was up to me 😂
I've minimized ALOT. Also I have a rule if I buy a new decoration I must eliminate one.
I hear people complaining also about all the stress of shopping besides taking the decor down. I simply don't keep xmas, tons of money and time saved!!

I use both paper towels and fabric dish cloths in my kitchen. I dont want a bunch of wet, smelly rags that I have to take care of until wash day.
For pet messes or just terrible yucky stuff I have paper towels. I'm with you. Can't deal with putting pet urine soaked rags in my washer either. Yuck!

Shaving with conditioner is sooooo much better!!!! I’ve been doing it for years and it works so well .
Would love to see your minimalist Christmas decorations/house tour!
Also, how you store the decor :)
Yes and yes please

@@THEJENNIFERCOOK thank you!! Looking forward to it ❤️❤️❤️
I have a nativity that has been in the family since 1947.
I bought a clipper set on Amazon and do my little dog's grooming. One good thing from quarantine. 👍
I’m the same. Apart from the wedding ring, jewellery doesn’t interest me at all lol 😂👍🥰
Amen on the shaving cream!
I totally agree about the beauty products! I like to try new things but I’m cautious about it and make sure it has ingredients that I won’t react to. I am always so tempted by new products that come out but I try to remind myself to just stick to what I know works best!
“Consumer bubble” they really do push E V E R Y T H I N G
Yes!!!
Pink Tax is real. The reason that the men's shaving cream was SO much less expensive than the ladies.
I was born in 39 and I also learned to be thrifty due to those times.
I’m home bound due to a fall and found you on RUclips. Lucky me.
Thank you. Mary

A shaving brush can be helpful to make a nice thick foam for shaving with soap. Works for us.

Bleach, vinegar, dish soap, baking soda. All have multiple uses.

We don't own a coffee table.Or a side table. We just never bought one when we moved in. It's been 4 years now, so obviously we can do without :)
Best thing to shave with is body lotion you simply wipe it off no need to rinse

I do love sterling silver jewelry. I don’t wear my gold jewelry anymore and other than a few pieces, I will probably end up selling it. But I do wearing sterling a lot.
Monique yes sterling silver is very nice! I have gone through phases were I like white gold or sterling then like yellow gold. 😁
Could you tell us about your health journey and why you became vegan? How it helped you? Or what it cured?
Yes, I will plan to make a video on that. Thank you for watching!
Yes please let us know - I feel God has been guiding me and many others to becoming vegan
Personally, I use dr bronners liquid castile soap. You can use it for everything. Shampoo, body wash, use instead of toothpaste, use on pets, dilute it for degreasing surfaces, laundry (great for washable masks) I have yet to find anything as versatile as this stuff. It even comes in different scents
Do you have soft water?
I have hard water where I live and soap just doesn't work well with hard water from what I've read AND experienced.😕
I use home made soap for cleaning. I make soap with used oil my friends give me. This soap is used for the wishes, clothes, floor... I love it. It's 100% natural and nothing is wasted. We are environmentally friendly and we recicle everything.
I agree that you tube and other media is about promoting stuff to buy. Ridiculous. Buy what you Need, not what you want
(Lots of you gonna hate my comment). I don't buy pet! Dog food, Vet Clinic, medicine, grooming, vaccine, bed, toy, ...average annual cost of A dog is?
No hate, I completely understand. They are super expensive.
I'm new at this point, no napkins or paper towels for a year now, no tp for a year, I'm working on more.
For health reasons I had to go Keto. I began to go into insulin resistant. So now I get all my calories in 1.5 meals. I say .5 because I drink a bullet proof coffee in the mornings and that is I guess my meal replacement. So I get you on the switching to just one side.
I use my shampoo for my body wash also which means it's used to shave my legs too.. Who needs all those bottles sitting in the shower
Thank you for not eating meat! I am vegan too. BEST decision I have ever made.
Me too. Beans and lentils rock.
Just found your channel!! I am loving everything you say!!
Thank you Terry!
Shaving cream is cheap. And it lasts a long time. My wife has to use it for her very sensitive skin.
And it's cheap at the dollar store.
@@Europa1749 yea, I like to reduce my spending. But some of these are silly
You can also get shaving cream almost free when you coupon.
Me too. Cannot use other products due to sensitive skin.
Yeah to your vegetarian/vegan lifestyle! I eat plant based as of recent and feel so much better! And how about dry beans! So yum and so much better than meat and wayyy cheaper:))
Baby lotion works for shaving as well.
Love this video! It gave me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Great! Thank you for watching!
I do not wear alot of make up. I wear lipstick,but I buy a good quality lipstick.
I agree with you about meat. Bacon is expensive though.
I only get a new pedicure when the old one chips all the way off 😅
Have never had one. I do my own.
Although I do realize some people cannot reach their toes!
@Ruth Steiner I know, right?
I will never be a vegan though. I eat keto- carnivore for health n fitness.
Great tips. Always use body wash for shaving..Love your channel.
Thank you for this Jennifer and although a lot of this information doesn't pertain to me ; it's great food for thought ! One question I have that maybe you (or your fan base) can assist ; is there a frugal/minimalist male that I can also subscribe to as well?
I really didn't know women used shaving cream.
I use mouthwash to clean my toilet. And it smells good.
Dont buy body wash either.

I use kitchen clothes or rags, depending on what I am wiping.
I still use papertowels, but you could use toiletpaper for really gros stuf.

Merry Christmas and happy new year love always keepsafe take care love you take care love you take care 🥰💜💙💚💚💛🧡❤💗💞💕💕💔❣💖💝

I don't buy most of the stuff you've said also.
About food totally understand, but just curious have you done research about ketogenic diet and Intermittent Fasting, but in deeper level? Check up dr.Eric Berg on RUclips 😍 it's life changer 😘

Very interesting. I don't buy those kitchen gadget as well. I still pill my potato with knife. lol
I dropped meat too...watch plantiful kiki on you tube...it will change your life for the better...
Oh my gosh I love her channel! Thats how I found the starch diet.
You should add that you make money from these videos just as those make-up gurus do.
Hi Sunny, I actually haven't made any money on RUclips. My channel didn't become eligible for monetization until a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
