Shop to replace, not add. I love this! Going to use this mantra rest of the year for my closet!

Love the speed you used to deliver the savings tips. Really dislike videos that take 30 minutes to make 3 points.

Identify what mood makes you want to eat or spend. Some people do it when they're feeling down. I am more prone to spend or have food cravings when I'm in the mood to "celebrate" and say "You deserve it!". I actually sometimes avoid going out all together when I'm too giddy and "celebrate" at home doing something I enjoy, like baking with ingredients I already have, or dance, or making a happy playlist

This was a good video. I'm already pretty adept at frugality, but it never hurts to review and calibrate. Hoping this year brings you 100K subs!

At last a sensible articulate person giving valuable tips

We live in an environment where being frugal is called being cheap..saving money is for poor people…you have money by “showing” you have it. Once you leave that mindset behind, it is so much fun to save money, get a deal etc..as I’ve come to know more and more wealthy people, having come from working class roots..my first impression was..wow they are “cheap” considering how much money they have..but have evolved to realize they are wealthy because they are frugal whenever possible and put the money to work..not give it away to “show” in many cases, complete strangers, they have money…

I already do most of this list but the spending journal is an excellent tip. Just thinking about having to write every little purchase down can also help one to avoid spending. Thanks for posting.

I've always known grocery shopping hungry is a bad idea but I've never considered eating something from home before going out to eat - a bit like pregaming a night out. So smart! You'd probably be less likely to get an appetizer, order the bigger option, consider dessert as well.

I'm a real dessert person and often skip dessert at restaurants even if I really want it, and a coworker of mine told me recently that sometimes they eat dinner at home and then go to the restaurant just to get dessert. Much cheaper than the whole meal out and still gets you the sweet treat you wanted!

You mentioned some things I haven't seen in other frugality videos. Interesting and informative.

[Mike-ldou]

Your video was so comforting in a word. It wasn’t drawn out or over done. I really did enjoy it. I’m frugal and save where I can. Most of what you said was common sense to me. But honestly 1/4 of it was new and I welcomed a reminder on the other 3/4 of the video. Very well done. I am looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks

Excellent tips we all need to hear! Live beneath your means!

My comfy sneakers ended up with holes in the toes. I found a pair (same brand) on sale. My feet require quality shoes. I shop once a week or less. We bought my husband's truck, our camper, and so much more from FB Marketplace. I start a new job on the 15th of next month. 50% will be invested and the other 50% will go into savings. We do all this and more.

Very helpful video, and you have a lovely, soothing voice that made everything sound like encouraging advice rather than hard rules. I have anxiety and wouldn't want to give myself deadlines like timed visits or during lunch-break trips to grocery store, but can pass over that tip to be excited about some other tips. I'm not committed to frugal living but am trying to be mindful about spending and budgeting for saving, and started keeping a spending journal last year. I am definitely going to look up Ibotta and SuperCook too. Thank you for the many tips!

Greetings from Eire. Buy cheap, buy twice. A spending journal is eye opening.

[juliebalderas]

Wow I never thought to dye my black clothes. That’s a great tip.

[mjones]

I also repurpose some of the envelopes from the mail to make grocery lists etc.

[JehanineMelmoth]

There were some really good ideas here that aren’t on the usual list of frugal ways - such as having a separate email address for offers. I hadn’t thought of that! I love your presenting style so I’m going to subscribe.

[kaymack]

I didn’t expect to hear anything new in this list, but I did! I was raised very frugally but over the last 10 years or so have let it slip. I’m still debt free but as inflation continues and pay raises don’t keep pace, I’m trying to re-establish a budget. Love your delivery too. No fluff, just the facts.😂

Cheap shoes take their toll on your body. Quality shoes last longer and support your feet and entire body.

[robertamazyck]

Right off the bat, very 1st tip, I'm going to use. Something I have just not think to do.
