Pay off debt should be moved to number 1. Being debt free brings peace to your life.

[@tweetybird1480]

It depends. Eg, if I have a loan that has set payments, but I have no savings. It may make sense to just may the required monthly payments and use the extra money to out aside for savings. If I focus on the debt payment above getting some savings going, if another emergency comes up, I have no recourse but to get into more debt to sort it out.

I have purchased gifts ahead of time when found at super clearance for decades. Note: Keep a list in your phone or other highly accessible place that lists people and gifts that you have purchased. When my children were young, I often developed a ‘standard’ gift for birthday parties. These standard gifts were often an item I found on sale in larger quantities. I also made many gifts so that they were unique. This was super frugal when we lived in an affluent area where people often spent $50 on a child’s birthday party gift.

For produce try drying and freezing. You dont need expensive drying gadgets either. I dry spinach on a silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet and make a pesto or add it to scrambled eggs. Diced onions, peppers, celery, freeze well and will cook up nice in soups and pot pies. And old bread makes great bread pudding or French toast casserole. You can use any bread marked down like buns, rolls, loafs etc.

I always go right for my stores marked down, ready to go bad produce. I always get 3 large yellow or orange or red peppers for 1.00 for the bag of three. Either use them right away... stuffed peppers or chop them up and into the freezer. Usually can get a few onions or potatoes. Just look the items over and remember you have to deal with them right away. Love your tips and actually I have been doing most of them. I need to recheck insurance rates.... I hate doing that.. LOL. the last time I called my company and asked for a discount I got 4.00 off for 6 months, kind of depressing.

I don’t look good at all in long hair and I have a couple of very strong whorls that would make my short hair really hard to cut for myself. I used to go to the salon every 5 weeks for a cut, now I go every eight or nine weeks. I used to get my eyebrows dyed at the same time - my hair is completely white now and my eyebrows just disappear without colour. But even that’s up to $20 now! I bought an eyebrow pencil instead. I live alone so I only use it when I go out; and it lasts a long time.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

@@susanneal985 Oh Susan I am so sorry to hear about this. But this is a much bigger conversation than we can have in the comment section. You have to cut everything down to the bare minimum. Spend only $50 a week on groceries, subsidize with food from a food pantry. You have to pay off those debts and micro manage that money. Take care of the 4 walls first (house, lights, heat) and then your car (insurance and gas). Sell everything. All the accumulation that you have built up over the years has got to go. Become a minimalist and pay off that house as soon as you can. Use cash only - no more credit cards.

All of these are good tips! Several depend on a person's circumstances, of course.. For example, public transpo / ride-sharing may not be viable in some areas and/or cause such a loss of time/personal hardship that it's actually a negative. A smart phone is more expensive due to the data upcharges, that's for sure, but at the same time, I use Ibotta and Fetch apps, as well as my local grocery stores' apps for digital coupons, etc., which save me a ton of money every year, and require a smartphone. I rarely go out to eat - truly only for special occasions, but when I do, it's more of a fine-dining situation where coupons/Groupon deals don't apply. I'm okay with that, because it's literally only 2-3x/year. It's all relative to the individual.

For some of these, depending on where you live, you can't do them. For instance, there's no public transportation where I live and walking or riding a bike isn't feasible for where I need to go. I don't do warehouses because I realized that I was buying things I wouldn't normally have bought. Making your own bread isn't always cheaper. I can get a loaf of bread in Lidl for $0.50. I can't make a loaf for that price. Thrift stores are not always cheaper when it comes to clothes. Plus, if they don't have your size, it's a wasted trip. I've been buying the same jeans for years. I have a system for it. A good pair is a pair that has no stains or holes in them. Once they get either, I put an X on the tag. I don't work, so those become the jeans I wear every day. They get too bad, and I turn them into shorts. Long sleeved shirts become short sleeved shirts.

I enjoy your videos, here is a few other things that I do if vegetables are on special I will buy extra and freeze them, spinach is good frozen for omelettes or in casseroles , even buy bread or buns for short term freezing. Don't forget the markdown rack at the grocery store. It is usually things which are going to expire soon but are fine within a few days. I have a discount where I work and it always says on the receipt what I have saved I try and put even half of what I saved away because normally I would have spent that money as well. One month I saved over $60 ! One last one if you are very disciplined use a credit card that has points or cash back and use the rewards for groceries. But only if you pay it off every month. Put all monthly bills and even taxes and insurance , water bill on the card to get the points. But as I said only if you can pay it off every month.

Have you ever heard of magnets instead of laundry detergent. My kids are just turning 18 and I've used the same set for a decade best $75 I ever spent

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Magnets? Can you give me more info on this?

[@kathystevens8163]

None of link's work. Do you do any vegan cooking plans?

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

So sorry about the links. Thats been fixed. I don't have any Vegan plans. Unfortunately I dont know enough about it to create one.

I find KZbin Premium a great buy as someone who love documentaries and how to vids.

My oldest son and daughter in law have this. They like it!

I live off the grid. That trumps all your tips combined.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Lol. You got that right! 😂😂😂

Eat one meal a day. Fast. Turn off electric at the fuse box. Turn on the water heater for an hour or two in the morning. Then leave it off until the next day. No TV. No cable. Use cloth napkins, handkerchiefs, Dinner napkins, and cleaning rags. Turn off water at the intake valve on the toilet and bucket flush with gray water. I don't turn on room lights. I navigate and do task lightning with a head lamp powered by rechargeable batteries.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

So many great ideas!!

With rising costs I do something similar. I am retired and at home most days... After shower the hot water is turned off. I make 1 pot of coffee, have breakfast. I boil kettle and place water in thermos, I pour 1 cup milk in another small thermos( to keep cold.) I make a sandwich, cold drink and fruit for lunch. I turn off all power until 6pm and cook tea, charge phone, a load of washing. If a cold night I turn fridge off at bedtime. I use solar nights at night and use phone torch to go to bathroom if need be. I watch Utube at night in bed. Cheers.🥰

This sounds quote boring. But I have been buying cloth napkins and cleaning rags, because I don't like buying things that are just gonna be thrown away. But I'm vision impaired and home a lot. So I have internet for my 55 inch TV.

No way I’m doing my own hair .

[@happycook6737]

I do my own hair. I have a simple bob and use L'Oreal Excellence permanent color cream. Saves me $140/month. If I had a fancy style this might not work. I got The Perfect Bob template online. Predictable results every time.
