Drying towels in the tumble drier is good for keeping them soft, however you only need to tumble them for 10-15 minutes to get them fluffed up. After a brief tumble I finish off drying on the line or on a heated airer and I agree that a heated airer and a dehumidifier is a great combo.

Hi Lara, love your videos, would love you to do a video on credit scoring, ISA's and how to start investing, I don't know where to start! TIA x

[@DawnHatton]

Yes i regift My eldest always asks for new stuff for his home I always buy not cheap so I tend to ask if he wants any of it but say put it towards his birthday gifts And hes always happy with what i give him

[@bonniepalmatier4664]

Hi..I am watching your video for the very first time and appreciate your advice. I cannot follow all of it because I live in a basement apartment and have a small fridge/freezer like what might be used in a college dorm! It is a mindset and this looks different for each of us thank you!

[@victoriasykes5570]

Vety helpful ❤ we are struggling, mortgage gone up £600 a month 18 months ago ! Due to what happened in the market 😢 now getting in debt again to keep afloat. I know it wont be forever but hard when raising 2 teenage boys. But i do appreciate ur tips xxx and yes i do have gratitude, have my children husband and a lovely home and my health to a point 49 so in peri menopause 😢

[@razamughal9095]

Do you get headaches in the menopause?

[@cherylverber7672]

Some good tips, and advice and habits to get into. I celebrate no spend days and have stopped buying "stuff" i really don't need deinfluencing is my new hobby x

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Well done! That’s amazing xx

[@DVB1848]

Instead of buying beans from Costco, you should buy beans, lentils, rice, and spices from any Indian shop. We are lucky in U.K. that we have the shops in every town.

[@rachelhowson6595]

There are many zero waste shops too x😊

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Yes, so true! I love our local zero waste food store but it's not very inexpensive I have to say. Indian food shops is a good shout! x

[@charmedsuperior2222]

Are we ?

[@angelacurran5924]

Great advice. I'm chuffed to realise I'm already doing quite a few of these things 😊 Vinted is fab, I made £40 just since new year having a good clearout. Agree with what you say about gratitude x

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Ah, that's so lovely to hear, well done! And yes, gratitude definitely changed my life along with LOA! Keep up the hard work xxx

[@adamhutson5187]

Different credit score agencies use different scoring systems. I'm 999 but be wary that some places will reject you as they know they are unlikely to make much money from you with things such as interest on credit cards.

Ive been buying frozen fruit (not a fan of the strawberries, they always taste watery) & veg for years now, We only have a subscription to Disney+, everything else gone! Not keeping up with clothing fashions. It’s amazing how much you can save! Mobile phones, we’re all on sim only & pay £35 per month for all 4 of us. Haircuts, I do my own & I cut everyone else’s. Bulk buying is great if you’ve got the storage space, which sadly we don’t. Supermarket own brands can taste as good as branded food items.

[@DawnHatton]

Yes could i have your links please for investing

[@lavayuki]

I cut down on the amount of makeup and skincare I was buying. I have decided on a project pan, where I have started to just use what I have and only buy new ones when I have run out of a category, rather than having like 5 foundations open at the same time I have one at a time. I can't stop buying books though, simply because I am very particular about books and Amazon prime have never once had a book I was interested in, I also read a lot of Japanese books which I have to buy from japanese ebook sites, and also medical related books which are almost always hard to find/never in the library/expensive

[@rinakaur7245]

What you save depends on what you earn - not just saving on where you spend.

[@mandynuttall6627]

Great video Lara, I need to work on how much I spend on coffee out etc. I've decided that cutting out the cake that often goes with it would be a good start lol 😅😅. I've already cut alcohol down a lot. Very inspiring to think I could possibly save 25k ( or whatever amount I decide is best for me) P.s your hair is looking amazing! Xx

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Oh thank you! I've not had it done for soooo long! Saves so much money! Ohhh but it's so hard to have the coffee and not the cake, isn't it haha xx

[@rachelsc5841]

Can you recommend a quality clothing brand please? Where do you buy from? I invested in a few jumpers from expensive brands at John Lewis, and within a year they all had holes in

[@gemmac629]

Crew clothing stuff is good - not crazy prices and really nice quality.

[@carlarue87]

if you put what you have in your cupboards, fridge, and freezer, but are lacking ideas, chat gpt can generate recipes for you using the ingredients you tell it you have.

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Yessss!! I love using it for that!

[@Anniethegoat]

Yes to a manifestation video please. I used to be in to that a lot years ago, id be interested to see how you do it ☺️

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Coming soon! Thank you xx

[@joanneniven342]

Libby's a good library app for books eg ❤

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Ooh thank you, I had completely forgotten about Libby!xx

[@clairekelly5498]

Yes, I am not using Amazon for other reasons as well, but love the library. Our local area also has a free little library where you swap out a book.

[@joanneniven342]

@clairekelly5498 Yes we have one too. Great for recycling books.

[@linnearoyale]

@@clairekelly5498libby also allows access to kanopy for movies and tv! also amazon costs most people more money in the long run because even if you’re saving money on a service, you’re still spending on convenience and impulse purchasing.

[@janeknight3597]

Libby is great for magazines.

[@millyandmolly6299]

Did you say there are audio books included with Amazon prime?

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

For audiobooks I would use the Libby app or BorrowBox - both free! x

[@mariapace9343]

Did you complete the run you signed up for? 🌟

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

ah, well remembered! It actually got cancelled due to a storm! They've never cancelled it before so it was a huge decision to make, can't help thinking it was the universe telling me I wasn't ready haha. I need to decide whether to go for it this year again or not xx

[@mariapace9343]

@LaraJoannaJarvis saved by the storm haha!! 🙌

[@anghush85]

Where do you invest? I wouldn’t know where to start

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

I have videos on here sharing where I invest but I’m not an expert, have a look at @damientalksmoney ‘s videos; he’s amazing x

[@carolinehayes3212]

people are working full time and dont make 25k

[@cherylverber7672]

I immediately thought that. However I'm guessing this is her personal goal. I'm on a good salary however I save probably 8k and I feel I am winning. I've been following frugal Queen in France for years and learned so much from her. Give her channel a try, she's real, she honest and absolutely no influencing us to buy anything all about real life and great advice 👍

[@Monikatoitoitoi]

Half a punnet of strawberries that you didn’t get to finish ? My three children would Never allow this to happen :)

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Hahaha, tbf my eldest wouldn't either! But hopefully you get the gist ;) xx

[@zbenfor9179]

Yes please to a manifestation vid!

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

I’m going to need to share! So many good things happening already this year ✨✨✨

[@catseyes8377]

You could get a crea clip and cut your own hair

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Ooh I’ve not heard of that! X

[@sazzabell21]

I’m currently reading ‘The joy of being selfish’ by Michelle Elman…highly recommend 🙌 xxx

[@LaraJoannaJarvis]

Oooh, thank you so much for the recommendation! xx
