To save money and power I line dry my laundry (bonus.. it smells great)

When the Virus shut everything down, I couldn't get my nails or hair done. I was spending $20 every 2 weeks on nails and $110 every 7 weeks on a cut, color and tip for my hair. Not to mention the time at the salons and traveling back and forth. I now color my own hair for $2.98 per box and my own nails for next to nothing saving over $1, 100/year and lots of time!

We have a good friend that we share lawn equipment with, the bigger stuff like electric edger ect. We need them but use them so infrequently that it really makes sense for our families.

Meal planning, how I love meal planning! Somehow I used to think that planning meals meant I had to eat in a specific, fixed, way, that I didn't like, because I couldn't be trusted to make good decisions. And meal planning was just for families anyway. But it turned out to be a flexible tool especially useful for singles, that saves me money, while I'm eating healthy, simple, varied and delicious meals. Because I live alone, and cook for myself, I think of meal planning as sharing with my future self.

I'm glad to know others
feel the same way about not visiting graves. I know my family members had Jesus in their life and they're with him. I would much rather pray and send messages to them then visit graves. Graves to me are a small thing and when a believer dies it isn't sad. My husband believed the same way. I know where he is buried but he isn't there. He is with Jesus.

Would love to see a video or series of videos on FIRE, Coast FIRE and other types of popular savings approaches. When my grandma was alive she would have a paper grocery bag of books for me every few months. I miss it so much ❤️

I have to grocery shop with blinders on---all those tempting point of purchase displays are a real battle to avoid. Love your channel.

[samreenrajan]

I love ❤️ “chicken Soup for the soul” different topics.

Any time we go out we have a Bottle of Water and often a small cooler with extra. That takes away the temptation to buy a soda or anything else while out. Saves money and keeps off the extra pounds. I make a list when grocery shopping and do my very best to stick too it.

You're so fun. I too have given trees or other outdoor plants. My sister lost her twins. They just came too early. We gave her 2 dogwood trees. And a friend lost both her parents at the same time we gifted her with an oak leaf hydrangea. Plants are a great gift idea. Food is another option. Homemade or bought. I'm a senior, married 42 years to the same man, but anyway we adore getting food gifts. When our boys were young we never had birthday party. Instead we let them choose a restaurant and 1 friend and that was it. Sometimes it would cost a lot but when it was over the party the gift and party cleaning all done. Yep, plants, food and a nice restaurant. That's what I do.

I only read non-fiction until my husband introduced me to the Pendergast Series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They seem to come out with a new book at least every year for at least the last 20 years, and I look forward to it every year. The first one I read was Cabinet of Curiosities (it turned out to be out of order, but it got me hooked and I have read it twice!

My mom and I used to be "bulk buddies". We would split big packages of TP, meat, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc.

I love this channel! Its life -changing to me 😁

Love all you advice. I use cloth or canvas bag at the grocery store so I can wash them. And I get the big bag of yellow microfiber clothes at Costco to do my mirrors and bathroom. They work amazing, and dusting, wiping your hands . Counter…. They are great and wash great too. Wool balls in the dryer😊😊

Mystery book lovers, I suggest Fiona Barton or Shari La Pena🥰

I wash and reuse make-up brushes and sponges for as long as possible. I've been using the same blush brush for years. You wouldn't believe it if I told you how many years! It was the door prize at a Jafra home party, and I was lucky enough to win it. I can certainly vouch for Jafra make-up brushes being very good quality!

Eating a more plant based diet is such a good reset for your body. It is so hard for your body to break down dairy and milk. I'm not saying being vegan or vegetarian is for everyone. I understand that. But to give your body a break from those foods, in the least, can just give you an amazing feeling.
