“Stop shopping, and look for friends and sunshine. And remember pack snacks.” Best quote!

I have failed at every no spend challenge that I have tried. . . Until I finally found one that works for me. I now challenge myself to just have ONE more no spend day than I had last month. It has worked for me for the past 3 months. Goal this month is 17 days!

I will be starting Chemo. You, The Wads, The Minimal Mom, and Megan Burch will get me through this!✌🏻Thank you for your quirky sense of humor!

I would add #18, IMO a key one: Buy preowned when you can. Cars, clothes, furniture, sports equipment, home decor, kitchen appliances, kitchen ware, etc. SO much $s to be saved there.

I'm actually still wearing the hiking boats I bought in 1974... yes 50 years ago. I used to hike a bit in my twenties & thirties. They were $30 on sale and were very much a big purchase. They were fancy very pricey Italian boots that were over $100 back then. But I put them on and they fit, and I've never had a single blister from them ever. The last 20 years I wear them when it snows and am happy to have them. I've been more of the cyclist then I hiker so haven't worn them out. So that averages out to 60 cents a year.... ;) !

I pimp frozen pizza with extra onion, tomatoes, bell pepper etc. It elevates it 😋

Before internet shopping, my mom used to get a TON of catalogs. She would fold the pages and circle the things she wanted. Most times, she never actually purchased any of it. It was the same as leaving things in your cart when online shopping. I do it all the time. I've only purchased a couple of items that I've left in my cart. One is a cardigan that was in my cart for over a month, and the other is an outdoor rug that I had in my cart for a few weeks. I've worn that cardigan to bits, and that rug makes me smile every day!

Volunteer! It’s free and the world needs more of them. It checks off half the boxes on the “ways to save list”. You could be so busy volunteering, that you won’t have time for screen time or Amazon shopping. Plus, you can meet new people. Remember to pack snacks and bring a water bottle 😉

My mother did a once a week fridge clear out. She called it restaurant night (we got to pick our leftovers). We went to restaurants maybe twice a year (in the 90s) so the novelty of picking what we wanted in whatever combination was so much fun. Mom made about 80% of our food from scratch.

I have a lot in my Amazon “save for later”. For my birthday or Christmas my family looks thru my save cart to look for presents for me!

[sonjafiore]

My friend calls leftover night
" must go "

First time i heard her say it, i thought mustgo was a type of fish 😅😅😅

[rachelmckoskybennett]

We need to rebrand leftovers as “already prepped food”! Then it will be more appealing to those who for some reason don’t like leftovers.

I can’t wait for the group to come out! I’m battling stage 4 cancer so we need all the help we can get to pinch Pennie’s. ❤️

I loved the tip of a no spend weekend! I have been doing a No spend week for months now. I have broken the habit of boredom shopping. I only spend money on Fridays, and it saves a ton. Also, you're right about putting something in your cart and leaving it there. Love your channel. Thanks for all the hard work ❤

[sandrapride]

I live alone and buy Papa Murphy’s pizzas on sale and cut them into fourths and freeze them. I also use the online library for books to read on my iPad; no gas no expense for books.

Thanks for reminding me of the show ‘Black List’ we love that show! Time to revisit it.
I’m 64, my lady friends & I get together at someone’s house for salad & fellowship, each person brings one item for the salad & the hostess supplies the lettuce & paper plates, plastic utensils, beverages to drink. We have lady’s that range from 80-60 yo….so much fun a couple times a month. Thanks again!

Loved the idea of no spend weekend - my kid gave me major side eye when I said it out loud

[ParkDari]

Got a fish tank at Goodwill, bought gravel filter and food at Walmart. Bought 5 feeder goldfish. Kid was happy and we weren’t broke. Gave away the whole setup later when we ended up with a cat, by then we could afford the cat but were stunned at the cost of vet visits. Found a vet center for broke people 😂

We have stopped using door dash! This is huge for us. We’ve tried from time to time but this time it stuck and it has saved us soooo much money!
