WHAT I SPEND in a WEEK as a FRUGAL MINIMALIST

#whatispendinaweek #frugalliving #minimalist

I am examining what I spend in a week. By virtue of the typical daily breakdown of things consumed throughout my day. This is of course an average cost.

As part of my August Audit I will spend time reevaluating my life and what I spend money on. I wanted to fully outline on what, where and when I spend my money. In order to possibly budget snd save more. All the while keeping my minimalist and personal values of good nutrition for improved health. Furthermore, I will be evaluating other aspects of my daily life not just financial frugal living. Afterall, Our daily routine can impact what we actually spend money on too. So lets have a look...

Here is My Frugal August Audit Playlist If you would like to watch it from the beginning ⬇️

Wow, this took some time to upload today… very slow wifi problems 🛜 Better Late than never hope you enjoy… Side Note: I’ve being trying a plant based body skin tint and it has gone patchy 😂 🤦‍♀️ for anyone wondering 🙄

Kudos to you for drink more water, even if it's not enjoyable! 😊Have you ever tried drinking warm water after it has been boiled? A coworker spent several years working in China and brought this custom home when she returned. I gave it a try and found it is not as hard on my stomach, warming, and easier to drink, especially in the morning. I put some in a thermos and drink it throughout the morning. I don't drink it very hot as that's not good either, but just warm. I sometimes add a little lemon in it. Perhaps some of the minerals that make your water hard will boil off too.

I totally agree with not cutting back at the expense of your health! I think that’s good that you made that point here.

[marlyking]

Wow thanks for the reminder that it's ok to spend what is necessary to stay healthy. I don't think I could go any lower on my food budget without sacrificing my health. This was for sure a video that I needed to see . I watch all of your videos, and your honest approach and genuine personality is refreshing 🎉

I am currently on holiday in France for a month. I set our food budget to €30/day for the two of use- €15 each. We are averaging really close to that. It helps that we enjoy the taste of the water in France and finding potable water in France is very easy.

[kristinab]

I feel similarly about not cutting back too much on the food budget, if I'm buying healthy food. Our soils in general are more depleted of nutrients and our foods are more processed than previous decades, so we need to be even more mindful of the foods we consume. Unfortunately, inflation and food selections can make this more challenging for many.

I love the transitions of ur videos and the views like the inside of the americano. Iv followed you on ur minimalist journey and you inspire me to Enjoy life with less 💜🤩

[PinkTBear]

I love videos like this. So fun to see one on your channel.

[traceyjane]

buying coffee out is so pricy i will only do that if we are on a road trip or i meet up with a friend

[extrememinimalism]

I did this and learnt, as I shower every day, I go through 1/4 of shampoo and whole small bottle of shower gel and 1/2 a handwash or 1/20 of Body lotion. Deodorant lasts 4 months. Toothpaste about 3 months. Etc. It was really handy for panic buying in the pandemic.

[Ashleydesk]

I have a video suggestion. A video about living alone as a minimalist for beginners. I always look forward to your videos!

[trekkie-cat]

Ah, afternoon tea! We Aussies love our cuppa too!!

[laurenlovesparis]

I love fruit Tea I think the Twinnings Cranberry and Raspberry tea is really nice but an English Breakfast Tea is also lovely too 💕

I spend 44p per day on my tea! I have 2 tea-bags of Pukka Teas Ginseng Matcha Green, which is my treat to myself, and I make a 1.2 litre teapot of it. Then I decant the tea into a flask that keeps it hot for several hours. I gave up having black tea with cows' milk in it several years ago, and I think it would taste really odd to me now! But that tea, although it's relatively expensive, is one of the things I value in my day, so I don't resent spending the money on it. I don't usually drink anything else, although a cup of hot chocolate can be lovely sometimes.

You might enjoy Pukka Teas Blackcurrant Beauty (organic). It's really fruity and has a slight licorice aftertaste. I think it's delicious. If I make a second pot of tea (which I tend to do in winter), that's what I have, usually. Like you, I cannot stand chamomile tea. Vom!

I dont understand (although each to their own) why so many minimalists/sustainability folks have Nessprosso machines ( or similar)and pods. I use an old fashioned 'French press' or cafetiere- no polluting pods - just boiling the amount of water needed - and several minuites of wonderful anticipation. You can use the grounds for your garden. I have been gifted an insulated one, so it is still warm for the second cup! It also enables me to support a local coffee roasting shop. I'm not being rude, I hope, I just suggest that perhaps you could try it?

[briggle]

Can you show us your food shop and costings?

[TeresaBryan-uk]

I Love your video as always!!💜💜 what did you have with your melon was it yogurt or cottage cheese? Thank you.

[lurkingcaro]

I was making my own mac n cheese while watching this. (I don't make the actual noodles tho) I love the Tea Pigs brand peppermint licorice flavor. It's the best tea I've ever had. I don't even know how to explain the natural sweetness. 🤌🏽🤌🏽 It's great hot or cold. And it's on Amazon.

[ittibittinurse]
