I use the squeeze mayonnaise bottles filled with dish soap, one full strength and one diluted with water, ready to squeeze the exact amount I need. I save the original dish soap bottles and I fill them with laundry soap and softener. It give me total control over how much I squeeze out. I also save the empty laundry soap and softener bottles, and when I have a few, I fill the washer about halfway with water, then really rinse those laundry bottles and then add the clothes. You would be surprised how much laundry product is in an empty bottle. Sometimes I can get two washings out of an empty laundry product container. If I choose to, I can either repurpose an empty container and plant things in them, or put them in the recycling bin and feel good about it 😊

I get my clothes repaired.
I only drink water at home and out.
Ive kept to the same Christmas budget for the last 20yrs regardless of inflation 🤣

Good evening vicky, agree 100% with those tips as a frugalist and minimalist
Everyday i watch my account to see my money, i'm 41 years single man without family and i like this life without complications, i earn 1800€ per month and spend 300€, the rest goes on savings and invests, i feel so free after closing the reimbursement of my apartment bought in 2014, i did it in september 2022, 12 years money earn back
Money is just a tool, do not play with it, there are so many things we don't need to buy, subscriptions, food, we can achieve great things even we are alone 😊

Re cleaner, I always use bicarb and vinegar for drain cleaning. Super cheap and way more effective than normal cleaners

I wasn't concerned with the "meal plan" idea as much as I was with the "pay yourself first" one. The thing is, most people watching these are people who are struggling just to meet daily living costs, not people with a bunch of spare cash. At least in my experience as someone who has spent the past 7 years in the financial world.
You can't really pay yourself first if it means you don't meet your bills. It's fine to say "get more income" but for most that's not possible or practical for many reasons.

Just a thought.

Great tips, thank you! I'm looking to be smarter with my money. Recently, the hood of my coat got damaged and I discovered the simplicity of iron-on patches. Far cheaper than replacing the coat!

Pay yourself first is invaluable in my humble opinion. Also think that teaching children from young about finances s crucial it is not taught in schools for a reason.

I give popcorn packs as gifts n jard of jam n whatever. They can reuse the jar n its really good.

If you can, use menstrual cups instead of tampons.

[janetstonerook]

If you aren't good at repairing clothing, perhaps you could do a swap with a friend who is. I often mend an item for my brother and maybe he brings me a deli treat or a gourmet coffee in return.

[sandraluz]

Thank you so much for the tips. I usually use some of them. I use a clip in the toothpaste to use it till the end. Add some water to dish soap.

[forestnystrom]

You talk a lot of sense, it's good, I'm listening

[obdiane]

This is such good advice!!! I love finding new ways to save money.

[jerrychetty]

I use the bread bags for my cut up whole portioned chicken and cleaned up vegetables

[soniacarrillo]

I understand the importance of saving, but not agreeing on being stingy with yourself and your family. I've done a lot of frugality but at the end if you have the money and your kids want some ice cream why deny it❤. Your kids will remember the fun they had with you not the money you saved!

[helsbells]

Use YouTube for free to find how to mend appliances, learn new skills like sewing, cooking etc my husband is an excellent diyer ( I’m extremely lucky) but has found YouTube invaluable in helping him mend our washing machine and my sons Xbox etc and ideas on making a coffee table which saves buying new.

[donnalackey]
