Cloth napkins were an a-ha moment for me!

Yes craft business

I’m so glad u mentioned using those enveelopes that come in the mail! lol I started doing that and wondered if anyone else did. I use mine for cash stuffing xo ❤

Good yarn. Especially for Christmas presents. But store brand yarn makes a good filler yarn to stretch out that expensive yarn. Hot tea. Fluffy pjs and heavy blankets

Are you the same person who is doing bariatric videos?

I want to learn how to get rid of Internet and Wi-Fi that keeps going up. I do not have cable TV. I do not watch TV but how do you get low Internet and Wi-Fi when you don’t use it as much as the bill is somebody please tell me what I need to do? I only use the fitted sheet. I don’t use the top sheet anymore and I only use white sheets and white pillowcases and I have only two sets of sheets because I’m single and live alone so when I watch one I put the other one on saves money save time

I use cheap scissors to cut open plastic tubes of lotion. There is still so much product inside.

I don't buy anything until mulling it over (could take me over a year to actually purchase a specific item). I wear stuff out. I have a pair of boots that are 28 years old. I've had them re-soled and since they are classic boots, are still beautiful. I meal prep and eat everything in my pantry before shopping again. Frugality is my badge of honor!

Dropped my Dish and went to Roku. Dish went up to $198.00. Roku is 60.00 and you can watch Dish. I keep extra butter, bacon, sausage, cheese in the freezer.

I refuse to buy coffee at Starbucks. I make my own at home. Also i eat breakfast at home. Compare what it cost at home to going out. I also use my air fryer alot. We just bought it 2 months ago. I also do several errands when i leave the house.

What about cabernet or bordeaux? I consider dry red wine a necessity rather than a want ... maybe both!

This was super helpful for me on my no spend January. It gave me a ton of ideas on how I can save and not spend. I am still learning how to meal plan and cook. I think this will be my biggest savings in January. Not to menton healthier for me. I would also like to thank you for the memory lane trip. I never thought of the sheet idea, but my grandma made Barbie clothes for me out of her scrap fabric. I had more Barbie clothes than my friends. While I was embarrassed as a kid and since they were not store bought. Now I would give anything to shop with my grandma and maybe learn to sew.

I love thrifting and going to yard sales. Also, I find some good deals at the dollar store. I keep track of all my receipts and bank statements to see where all my money is going.

Love classuc simple lines in my clothing. Natural fabrics. Easy to dress up or dress down, whatever the occasion. Dresses become tunics, shirts become jackets. Layers 😊

I am all in forna no spend month maybe even an entire year!!

Hi Jennifer 👋🏻

Great tips! 😎

I am going to try a no spend month in January. I have never done this before.

I work as a debt advisor and the number one thing my husband and I do is budget. You need to know where your money is going and also vision the life you want and make financial decisions to get to that place. I've just started watching your videos and I'm enjoying them :)

the wear more clothes one definitely for sure would make a huge difference on utility bills if you live in an area that charge an arm and leg for energy usage. Some ppl prefer to keep the house almost 80 degrees during winter so they can wear tshirt and shorts in the house. Sure, if they have half a mil income that's no problem, they do whatever pleases them. but when budget is tight and we want to save $$, that can help tremendously

We have no tv

I find slow cooker

I refuse paper receipts or paper flyers that are blank at the back write on

I need to declutter so I need to know what I have at home

I bought a slow cooker faulty pair sandles blister my feet I need to find my receipt and return

I go for a daily walk pray

I try not to be materialistic or co dependant on anything

Eat a carnivor diet. So you can save money... on fruit, vegy, sugar, no restaurants and save money on medication & doctor visit. ❤

Love this video I spend on about 40$ on Xbox subscription due one is mine and one is my bfs only reason because then we have a whole Xbox game library free to play and 25$ on Netflix that's about it for my subscriptions

6 birthdays in my family in January. Might spend a little anyway.

At the end of each month, I scan my receipts and pitch the originals. If I need to return an item, a printout of the receipt works the same as having the original.

Left over tea, herbal tea with no sugar, once it’s cold and I don’t feel like heating it up… I water my plants with it or dump it in the compost.

Re: Laundry soap - when I buy liquid detergent the first thing I do is top with water so it’s actually FULL, give it a shake & start from there. I use 2Tbsp of soap per load, I measure with a small medicine cup! Clothes are always clean & smell fresh!!

Great video and always new ideas to think about!!

I like to listen to Hugel tips, but there is a lot that I am doing. I have the indoor clothesline. I do not use my dryer every month. I have probably used my dryer this year for two times. My laundry detergent for most of the laundry is borax mixed with laundry baking soda and I use two spoon full for each load when I'm cooking and I have extras. I put it in the freezer for sometime when I come home from work. I just take something out of the freezer and my meal is ready. I do not even turn on every month, my heat stays low in the house. I rather put on a sweater or an extra pair of pants. I do not waste on heating the house. I dye my own hair. I do my own nails and I have always pretty nails and nice hair. I make my own skin lotion from Tello.

Regular chicken is bad, ground chicken though is very good. Winking owl wine is great for the price.

I’m interested

Last time I said I was going to do a no spend month, I ended up with a crown and a roote canal.. so shhh I'm not saying anything. LOL.

I cut my dryer sheets in half. I also do weekly food inventories, meal planning, and only go to the grocery store with a list.

I'm in...

I like all your tips, especially the one about using less laundry detergent. My black Columbia jacket kept coming out of the laundry with white streaks on it. I finally googled it and found out I was using too much detergent - problem solved. Have a great upcoming holiday week when we celebrate the birth of Jesus!

I love the new paper towels that let you use a quarter cut. I'd been doing that for years. Now, my one roll a month will last 2 months. Happy Holidays everyone.

Thank you so much for the video I

22 is an especially great tip in extremely frugal yet I’ve honestly never thought to do that (I don’t even let the shower run long before I get in but regardless this is a phenomenal tip!)

I sharpen my scissors with aluminum foil after it has been used. Before throwing it away, fold it a few times and cut it with your scissors multiple times. It gives you a nice sharp edge.

Great advice. Happy Holiday's 😊

Going into year 2 of no spend. Planning on moving in 2025 so I want to create as large a financial cushion as I can.

I'll be doing a no-spend month in January. My one exception is travel - I have 2 family weddings to attend this year (April and October), and neither are nearby. If I find the best deals on car rental, lodging, or flights during January, I'm allowing myself to make those purchases. Otherwise, nothing else - I have yarn and fiber for spinning and knitting, lots of unread books, and at least 3 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles to keep me occupied. I also have lots of pantry staples, so I'm limiting my food purchases to only perishables. I think tracking what I WOULD have spent if I'd given in to temptation is a great idea - thank you! I'm already practicing saying 'no' or at least 'not now' to things I just want but don't truly need. Good luck everyone!

When buying groceries I once looked at a set of tomatoes in a plastic box. The label read 500 grams but it seemed more to me. I weighed it and it was actually 600 grams. But the price when scanned remained the same! This is how alertness can not only net you money but also a new practice to incorporate into your life 😊

We attend Mass on Christmas Eve and then head to family member's home for celebration, Christmas Day we join family members for another celebration, Merry Christmas,
