What are some of your favorite ways to save? 🤍

These are some great tips! Two things I like to do to save money are buying things I know I'll use in bulk and choosing reusable options over single-use items. I buy several things in bulk, including our favorite snacks and toilet paper. It saves a lot of money and we can afford a little higher quality of items doing this. For reusable items, one of my favorite swaps is using washcloths instead of paper towels to dry my hands or clean with. It's amazing how much little swaps like this adds up in savings per year.

Currently trying to break the bad habit of grocery shopping while hungry🤭 I think planning out meals ahead of time would also help with this, so you go in with a plan!

I always carry a reusable water bottle, especially on holiday. In most countries in Europe the tap water is really good and I refill my bottle in the hotel or anywhere else.

If you love books, and I do, try using the library instead of popping into your local bookstore. Books can be pricey so unless it’s one you know you might read more than once, try the library. 📚

Hi Ashlynne, I really enjoyed this vlog and all the tips my favorite thing to do is shop what’s new in my favorite store target and wait for the sale of my fav choice I save 50% by doing this I’m a frugal shopper, also meal plan is a must these days.

Aww so cute hearing Oliver chatting away 😊

Keeping a list of places to travel is SUCH a good idea I’ve never heard! I kind of do this with things I want to buy (more in an attempt to show myself I don’t need the thing) but as a list girly, I’ll definitely be doing this!

[francisalexago]

Rotate subscriptions, genius! I will try that.

[donnaharwood]

I make a groc list and stick to it, I also make sure I’ve eaten something before I go and now I’ll be careful to not go thirsty! Love Olivers noises.

I like the idea of rotating subscriptions and I haven’t heard that a lot. Motherhood suits you, and as a long-time follower, it’s enjoyable to compare your priorities pre- and post-parenthood. This video is a great example of your older content reflecting your new phase of life. Looking forward to coming videos.

Awesome tips! I have started cooking meals Sunday afternoon for the next week and I wait at least a week before I buy something that is not in the norm

Not going to.lie that apple dessert you made looks amazing!

[belliwatching]

Love these tips!! I don’t know if that is an option elsewhere, but I have been buying refurbished tech now and trading in my old tech for some cashback. I bought a new-to-me iPad with an Apple Pencil for a fraction of the price 4 years after buying my first, secondhand iPad. This month I traded in my 5 year old iPhone for a newer model, refurbished, 20% cheaper. It even came with a clear case so I didn’t even need to buy that! Tech is always going to be a considerable expense but the ability to buy old that feels new diminishes the price and the waste!

I usually upgrade my phone without fail every two years. But I haven’t done it this year. Any next time I might buy it outright instead of a contract. Been battering down the mortgage by paying two months every month so should be cleared next month. Yes !! Then will save more 😊

[debchaffin]

i love finding new ways to save money, especially these days 😅

[margal]

So true about going to the grocery store hungry! Great video (like usual!) ❤

[JackyChang]

Absolutely amazing how helpful these tips are. Thank you so very much!!

A great way to prolong the life of your cellphone is to put a glass screen protector and case on it as well as transfer your photos and videos to your computer before you fill up the memory. Often times, a lot of complaints around phone functionality is due to it not having enough free memory causing slowdowns.
