27 Ridiculous Time Wasters That Are Costing You Money

[@Orchid-Care]

Less junk food and more simple and healthy food! It is also good for your health 😉 Thanks for your videos 💕

[@Devie-q9g]

Something I did and I love. Instead of listing out the bill date and price each month on a list; I have a BILL CALENDAR made out for the year. Flipping the page actually allows you to pay the bill and mark off paid IN ADVANCE. So in a few weeks when you get to the payment date... It's already paid! Less stress. What a relief!

[@bonniedurie3050]

Makes sense! When I watch TV, I'm usually doing something else. So, I use the TV more like a radio. Continued blessings!

[@saundrajohnson1571]

Clothes… Just this morning, I decided to delve into the deep, dark depths of my closet instead of what is front and center. Result? I’m wearing a dress I didn’t even know I had. I don’t know where I got it, or how long I’ve had it, but at least it fits! Guess I’ll venture into that part of the closet more often. 🥴

[@donnamiller-xe9bd]

I have been trying to make different outfits from what I have and wearing things I haven’t and getting lots of compliment.

I quit clipping coupons years ago when I realized that the majority of the products they issued coupons for were so bad for us nutritionally. Plus I could find lesser priced equivalents at Aldi that were just as good if not better. Agree completely on the spending too much time on frugal hacks too. Sometimes it boils down to doing a time study to see if you are saving money at all. Or is what you are doing really worth it? I made my own laundry soap for a while. It was not only time consuming, but I didn't care for it. Plus I think because we have hard water, it not only caused our drains to back up, but it wrecked my washing machine as well. SOOO not worth the time or effort.

[@Cherylisea]

Thanks for sharing this is was going to make my own laundry powder but after reading this I'm going to stick to what I have been doing not worth the hassle and money

[@espsc1981]

😮

[@nellie9352]

You mean like now? Nestled under a blanket on the sofa with a glass of red in one hand, and the remote in one hand scrolling around KZbin? I’m sure I’ll be here at least two hours until bedtime….😂

[@ruthiesthisthatfamily]

😂😂yep. The whole scenario sounds perfect to me 😅.

[@kendallmcguire]

At least it's FREE

[@sblack6765]

I feel like you actually know me and just called me out on all my BS! Lol 🙏🏻 thank you. Subscribed. Now I will spend the next several days watching your videos and listening to what I already know. 😂

[@sue8319]

Guilty…….youtube quilting, sewing, crafting etc. I say “oh I like that I could make that”. But what supplies are needed? Books, fabrics. Well let me tell ya, I have kits, fabric patterns. So on and so forth….,I am a mess…..waving to you from Michigan

[@StephanieJoRountree]

Great tips, Sarah.

[@taranomics]

1:12 it's so true. Most of my facebook nowadays is just ads to buy things. It's scary how much time we sink into social media without realizing..If it's free, you're the one they're making money from!

[@bunny_smith]

I just watched a KZbin video by a woman who lives in a van with her dog. She spent the day door dashing to make some money. First she spent $30 on doggie daycare. Then she filled her tank so she could dash. Then she spent the entire day and only earned $100. She also paid for her lunch out and coffee. It’s a ripoff paying for door dash. It’s also a ripoff working for those slave wages.

[@susiq58]

Bet she's making money on utube😊

[@frugalitystartsathome4889]

Why on earth would you put your dog - who lives in the van with you so is perfectly used to it - in “daycare”?

[@Devie-q9g]

Shopping... sometimes splurging and creating a shopping list check out but never submitting payment will actually correct your impulse buying. And then even determine if you wanted the items in the first place

[@MissSothePeacefulObserver]

The grocery list! I kept forgetting mine, and then my brother reminded me to take a photo of it to keep on my phone in case I forgot it again. (I'm so dumb sometimes, heh) Me going grocery shopping without a list is never a good idea, so I make sure to remember it.

[@valeriebarnoski1319]

So many great tips!! And yes, I bought a fancy, detailed planner and I find it more complicated and involved so I went back to a simple spiral notebook for list making.

[@KishTalksCredit]

Great advice😊

[@lisasobel7364]

Oh man!! You got me on the first time waster! Gotta be better about mindless scrolling

[@valeriebarnoski1319]

Me too!!

[@codegreenie3429]

Lady you just spoke 80% of every I do wow 😂

[@barbaracampbell7747]

I cancelled Netflix because I couldn't have myself binge watching a fairy tale show that had cliff hangers and stay up all night.

[@mariahsmom9457]

Haha i had to do the same with cable a decade ago because of Pitbulls and Parolees. No self control lol

[@kimkane135]

Thankfully only $6.99 a month, great for cortisol levels Lol.

[@Okmyre]

Thank you. All in point.

[@rose4u111]

[@Deadpool_Fan-ll6ny]

I went to the “free link” and it’s just trying to sell me something, wow, that’s just awesome! WTH!

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello from Germany 🙂

[@lifebeyondthesalary2458]

I listen to frugal videos to help me stay focused and motivated on saving money and being smart with my finances. Entertaining? Sure. But even now, I have found EVEN MORE WAYS to save my money even after 27 years of being frugal.

[@codegreenie3429]

1 of the few money videos that hit me hard. I spend so much on SM. Also burned a hole in my pocket. My Internet costs have gone up 3x

[@sozod2000]

I’ve noticed that for me any time on the internet is draining to my energy so then I’m wasting my energy online and don’t have any reserves for doing things around the house 😑 🏋️‍♀️ I do have a gym membership that I use twice a week. However, I live 30 minutes away, I do almost an hour work out and driving back home is 2 hours of my morning!! But I also don’t need a 45 minute workout when a 25 minute HIIT works just as well. I workout at home too, so after the membership I won’t renew and just pick up those days at home. There are SO MANY good ones on KZbin 😆

[@effielarkin3044]

According to Financial guru today Suzie Orman November 3 2024 70% of The American population has less than $400.00 in the bank in other words 215 million Americans have issues with money. She was interviewed on CNN by Mike Wallace. Considering the cost of living and it's going up everyday people are stressed. Right now I would make maybe 3 suggestions for them to consider and that's it.

[@KathyJacksonSanDiegoRealEstate]

Love your videos. you look great, by the way. do you have that cruise site info you mentioned at one time?

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

I do! Life Well Cruised - www.youtube.com/@lifewellcruised

[@glendawright2721]

I have Roku tv and stuck with free stream services

[@kirstenscholz4482]

I just hear ( and look ) everything in double-speed because I don`t have much time 😀

[@flohough1870]

Thank you for posting that, I feel better now, I frequently do the same.

[@StephanieJoRountree]

That's exactly what I do!

[@minimalist2036]

Same. Including KZbin videos bc they take a lot of time to say something

[@lcronkright]

Me too! Sometimes I wish there was triple speed 😂

[@janeandrews1790]

Little kids are like cats---they love cardboard boxes. Boxes can be a house, a boat, a sock puppet theatre, a car, a club house, part of a costume...

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

When I was teaching, one of my favorite books was "It's Not A Box!" It's such a great book about all the things a box can be besides a box.

[@helenkelly7346]

Many thanks.

[@patbethea111]

Since the storm our cable in my neighborhood doesn't exist 😞

[@frontlineobservationdeck2142]

But mindlessly scrolling me to you

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

I do love that and hope that you can implement a few of my tips.

[@aprildahlstrom7063]

When i see a add for something i would like i take a screen shot and looking at it a few days later and still if i want it

[@paulahastings7865]

I only get a new phone when my apps stop working.

[@scarlettrhettforever]

List on paper for shopping works better for me than mobile note pad. Bills on email I find easy to miss when to much emails come in. Apps I don’t like much.

[@valeriebarnoski1319]

I’m with you on that!

[@patbethea111]

I don't buy on there 🤣

[@hzy2k964]

Found this video doom scrolling.😅 👍

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Thanks for stopping by! 😂

[@KerryJames-l6z]

I scroll on social m3dia to get out of reality being yelled at ignored quarrelling with 27 year old twins at home suffering fnd

[@StephanieJoRountree]

Why are your 27-year-old kids still living with you?

[@gailmiller6333]

@KerryJames-16z Wow! It’s your life and therefore your choices but, wow! So thankful both of my children are mature responsible respectful adults who own and maintain their homes. Continue to enjoy your version of life. Take care.
