[@kanymkulova_dinara]

Hi, Brittany! I tried to find your old video where you explained how to search for KZbin discount codes and also Amazon hot deals and can’t find them(( Thank you for your helpful videos!😘

[@lessismore7018]

Do you cash out from Thredup to your bank account? For some reason I’m iffy about doing that...

[@ItsAsh_onyt]

I would love for this to be a series, these tips are great!!!!

[@Michelle-pd2fr]

Omg ur seriously the cutest thing ever with ur baby bump!You honestly look stunning!

[@desireelight3142]

The very first tip you mentioned has to be my favorite. I never thought about that before. That is an awesome idea. Thank you so much for this. I'm already in process of setting up a different account online as I type. Also gonna set up one so I can have $10 every from every paycheck going into my daughters savings/college fund😁

[@stephaniecasper7578]

Amazon also has Warehouse Deals. That’s where the packaging was damaged in the warehouse, or a set of six came as a set of five, etc. They mark the price way down for the cosmetic defects but you’re still getting the same thing. Just make sure to read the description because the threshold of damage for Warehouse Deals changes from time to time. That’s the coolest thing I’ve learned since working at Amazon.

[@JennsCorner777]

How do you find those, by typing that in on the Amazon search bar or ....some other way?

[@elizabethlynnfrye7176]

How do you find them ?

Omg I can’t believe I never knew I could request a refund on my auto renewal subscriptions that I forgot about. I just got my $25 back lol. Thanks for sharing all of these awesome tips!

[@erica243]

I had audible for 2 years before I realized it (Oops, lol). I thought it couldn't hurt to try so I requested a refund and got it within 8 hours.

[@deirdresversion]

Do I call the bank for a refund or the company I have a subscription with?

[@emeraldc.8796]

Okay so I’m not a Starbucks kinda person, another way that may help, especially if you’re embarrassed to ask for ice cup. If you have a cup that keeps your ice pretty frozen, like a Yeti or any other brand, fill it up with ice before you head over to Starbucks. Then buy whatever you want without ice and then pour it in your ice filled cup.

[@daisye9811]

I do this too

[@TracyCampanella]

Good idea!

[@allykinsrudy]

This is a great idea! Especially for people who are trying to live low/zero waste

Switching over to drugstore makeup is one of my best decisions I’ve ever made my favorite foundation is $10 when my higher end foundation was $40 and works just as well .

[@lpt2008lt]

Honestly!! I use maybelline fit me now and it's $6.

[@mhouse7539]

So true! I splurge occasionally but most of the time drugstore cosmetics are fantastic!!!!

[@AtoZenLife]

I miss good drugstore makeup! We moved to Germany and the drugstore makeup here sucks!!! I want my US drugstore BB cream. 😭😭😭

[@-nellie-m3711]

I wish Australia had the same drugstore products as you have in the USA, you don’t realise how lucky you are ❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢😢

[@terrycrane6468]

Challenge, look up every ingredient on the label. Find web sites that do independent studies because what you put on your skin you are putting in your whole body and there can be some nasty items in those cheap bottles. I am sure Brittany's mom could tell you a tale or two. Health food stores sell makeup too. I get it though-the cost is horrible if you go to a dept store. I drink distilled water because I chose not to drink fluoride from the tap-but we all make choices that make sense to us. Have a good day all.

[@BowsandHearts13]

Is this even a question?! Of course I want more of these!! Everyone can always benefit from some money saving tips!

[@brookh4837]

There’s a whole section on amazon for damaged or returned products. Sometimes the box is only damaged and the actual product is fine. We just got a table for half the price because the box was damaged!

[@joydarling314]

Where do you find that

[@LoveMoxie36]

Yes where do you find this?

[@nadiashandy]

Yes, Warehouse Deals. It's a category of it's own.

[@ashleynicole1139]

I also recommend Wayfair Open Box sales, I used to actually work for Wayfair and a lot of the stuff that are returns is still good the customers usually return the items because they don't like a color on it or maybe the fabric isn't what they expected or something like that but so many of my co-workers bragged about the good deals they got from purchasing open box items

[@JennsCorner777]

[@monikavilardo2290]

my favorite tip is the reverse image! I have NEVER heard of this before and I online shop a lot!

Re: Coffee... McDonald's coffee is actually pretty darn good sometimes better than Starbucks and cheaper too. If it's not for you no big deal. I just buy myself fun coffee creamers and flavored coffees at the grocery store and mix it up to avoid going to any coffee place and I buy cute coffee cups from the Dollar Tree.

[@melissai4798]

[@jenniferapnt]

During quarantine, I did some online shopping. Something I did when I was able to go to the store again it was to return items I never used or shouldn’t have buy them in the first place. Always check and keep your receipts and tags if you’re not sure about them.

[@luzaquino18]

I followed you on all channels But my favorite tip also is everyday zero our our ur bank account. Basically if you have 7.99 you take .99 cents and put it towards ur savings

[@Zerexx9]

Hi Brittany, since there’s so many tips would you consider making a PDF list with all the tips compiled together for easy access? That would be so helpful!! Regardless I loved this video, keep them coming please 😁

[@KarlaHannold_bigfootbaby]

I love all your tips! Something I have always done is the reverse image search option. As well as the thinking how many hours of work I have to do to afford something. It really helps put things in perspective! Love your videos! I would love to see this as a series!

Tip: if you have a loan (non-federal), call up and ask to settle it. You will be able to close the loan without paying the full amount . Love this series 💕

[@ecologist_to_be]

How you settle a loan if don't have money haha

[@Shylaoutdoors]

Ahh love this video!! Please keep making them 💕💕 Something that I started doing is every time I am about to to make an impulse purchase, whether it be Starbucks or something at Target, instead of buying that item I will transfer that money (however much it costs) into my savings. It’s helping me change my spending habits and I’m saving a lot! 🥰

[@EmilyWarnock]

I just moved out on my own for the first time so all these tips will really help me save some money!! 😍😍

Just got my first order from ThredUp today. They are awesome! You can get such good quality clothes for so cheap. And narrow down your search by fabric type, brand, color, anything. Better for the planet too- say NO to "fast fashion"!

[@stephanied6711]

Do you keep them or just rent them

[@LivingTyphoon]

@@stephanied6711 It is an online thrift store so it is for clothing to keep. They do have a return policy if you don't like your items (I think free returns if your order is over a certain amount?) but it is not a renting service.

[@Ninya53official]

The imperfect fruit/veggie one is great tip! The supermarket I go to has a "range" they call "the odd bunch" which is just any fruits/veggies that are mismatched etc - still perfectly fine and so much cheaper! Usually 1 avocado here could cost $5-$7 - but with the odd bunch you can get like 3 for $5. Just blows my mind.

[@melindasmith3713]

Omg I'm in nc an avacoto cost like 80 cents top

O___O that's so good! I think the cheapest they can get here is around $1.50-$2 and only when they're "in season". It's a conspiracy, I swear!
