10 Frugal Habits to Save More Money Every Week

[@amiepant9349]

I worked at a job that in the evenings.We had a person to help reduce electrical Cost and he would leave a smiley, sticker on the light switch, computer, printer , fan or whatever you had left on and that really worked to help people remember to turn things off. He reduced the company electric bill by 43%

Fun money thing I do during the holidays is go with my dear nurse friend who retired years ago…we go to a Vintage Holiday Fair the 1st week every November. It has lots of antiques + Christmas decor mixed together. And we just have a ball together looking at all the stuff. We sample all the goodies and laugh so much. We get lots of great ideas for our homes for the holidays. It’s coming up this week and I am getting so excited to spend that time with my friend. My two budget rules of this trip is I have allocated $100 for spending and taking cash as to not be charged a 3.5% card fee.

Shredded the meat from a Costco chicken and divided into freezer bags and put them in the freezer. Used the carcass to make a delicious stock with the addition of carrots, onion, and garlic. Strained the broth, and this evening I made the best chicken noodle soup I've ever made. You and several other KZbinrs have taught me to enjoy cooking again. Thank you! 😊

Hi Larry and Hope! I save money with Kroger with their sales sheets and digital coupons. I do a monthly grocery delivery order. I shop at Aldi's in person and once in awhile Publix and Got Walmart. I make grocery lists. I see what I have in my refrigerator,freezer,and pantry. I only get something to make a meal if I don't have it on hand. Enjoyed this video of yours.

We have cut as many of our monthly expenses as we could. We have saved $$$$ a year I have cut the number of times I go grocery shopping and have cut the budget for groceries/household items, but I do allow myself to eat my Healthy Choice frozen dinners w some added frozen vegetables, Triscuits and cheese, and a dessert for my biggest meal at lunch. Lots of varieties of dinners and Triscuits. I do love making 15 bean soup or chili in the crockpot and I do make homemade cornbread and banana nut bread. 10:12

Had a friend ask that he borrow $300 I gave him the money but I told him I want it just like I handed it to you. IDC how long it takes but I will not take payments too much like I'll have a job as loan officer. He has not paid me back and I still value his frhip .

Remember after Halloween clearance sales.

I like a gridded menu plan looking something like a calendar in landscape format. I prefer 2 weeks worth of grids available to me so I can wrap from the current week into the next week; doesnt always happen. The menu plan is your tool and is suppose to work for you; you do not work for your menu plan grid whether it si or is not filled out. You own it and you get to make the rules. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself permissions. A week's worth of eating plans is great; tried and failed a month's worth twice. Two day's worth can work too; today and the next day. I find it better to fill out the next day by at least the night before; but the morning of is better than throwing stuff to the stove 1/2 hour before it hits the table. I usually have a meal of emphasis or, the meal I'll concentrate planning, buying, and cooking for. When we had chaotic mornings it was breakfast, when we had folks withiut much opportunity to buy lunch at work it was lunches, and I've given myself permission to mix up the meal of emphasis by daybed the week based upon people's schedules. Many of my meal plans have been based around grocery shopping and only a partial weeks worth (ie when half the stores in town break thier ad on Wed and the other half on Sun). When ive had access to semi-predictabke mark dkwns, my meal plan was formed after I went grocery shopping. The more you meal plan the easier it becomes. -- I like to save the old meal plans to refer to also.

I have a food budget and food preparation plan that is insane. I buy 80% of my food every six weeks. Everything they sell changes every time I buy . Many of the people are there at 6 am and open the sale to 150 people. I get there late at 8 am. Some things sell out off my list and have to redo the meal plan and submit another order to fill in the holes generated by sold out items. I have to buy the extra items when I go to the discount stores that handle the canned and other foods that make the total meals. What is missing is 20% normally and buy that at the grocery store. This gets the food budget down to $25 a week now but after the full conversion of the freezer it could in theory reach $15-20 a week. I have extra cash to make it work because I started at $35 a week down to $25 and could see $20 a week in 2025. That is $1k a year for food. I do food prep differently than Hope. I make single items and freeze them. Then I bolt them together to make meals . I try to eliminate waste off the front end.

Oh, I think its an image from Larry's movements, his head and glasses

[@CrystalStearns-z7y]

Since eggs have gotten so costly can you explain how to make cakes or sweets without eggs or dairy

[@victorwadsworth821]

Can shop your favorite store from memory how it is set up in your head?

[@katherinerichardson1767]

#7 "Speeding??? LOL I guess you will feel like money is zooming out of your life if you don't keep an eye on your spending. Thanks for the chuckle... 😁

[@yvonnebourque9115]

Yes, they are speeding through their spending twice in this video. Must be an editing problem……. or a Halloween prank!!!!!

[@victorwadsworth821]

Depending on politics I may buy another CD next week.

[@victorwadsworth821]

[@victorwadsworth821]

Went doctor today, said i got fluids on lungs

[@lorettauppercue6400]

I'm trying to focus on what you're talking about, but what's going on with your you tube plaque in the background? Is it a Halloween prank?

[@UndertheMedian]

Nope. The reflection of one of our studio lights is in the corner of the plaque.

[@suecook8379]

Larry moving. I saw his glasses.

The hurricane took my power the city got political whenever it came time to turn it back on. The neighbor's tree was responsible for the outage which involves both of us same day we were ready for service the offender was allowed power I was given a political discourse. I'll probably end up selling this land. I paid $12,000 for it 6 years ago.😊 Ask me I done got my use out of it. They want to push me around I'm going to have to go out to West Texas to do it.
