My daughter came home with a back pack full of deodorant she ended up paying 25 cents each or less for them. We haven’t had to buy deodorant for a couple of years and she gifted some to her siblings family’s and put some in the free box in town for the homeless. She is queen of sales.😂😂😂

Years ago, I went with my uncle and cousin dumpster diving. They lived near a very large city and knew the schedules of the stores to throw away. They made a living off doing this. I have never seen sooooo much stuff discarded. There were a lot of very high dollar items. They had a fully stocked building full of food. They regularly gave to food banks and homeless shelters.

[@loriwilley7143]

Suggestion - stock up on plastic bags if your area Walmart and grocery stores still provide them. Some states already banned them and Walmart is getting rid of them by 2024 (and/or planning to charge 10 cents each). Lots of uses for those bags around the house

On Large Family Love channel, Tiffany has an eat at home challenge for the month of January, and challenges people to keep track of when they are tempted to eat out, write down what you would have spent, and keep track of how much you saved during the month.

On the subject of washing rags, for heaven’s sake, I spent years washing both cloth diapers and cloth menstrual rags. They did get washed separately from things like nice clothing or washcloths, usually in with things like jeans, tube socks, bummy old towels, throw rugs, and so on. Washing up rags that have been used to wipe up spills is less gross than blood and poo. If a person can handle dealing with children, they can cope with cloth rags, because face it, little kids are constantly producing quantities of almost every bodily secretion, and we have to clean that up. Anyone who’s had a diaper explosion or two to clean up can surely deal with the ick factor that comes with using cloth rags.😁

[@NoMoreTears64]

I can't believe ANYONE would spend 6,7,or 8.00 for deodorant. I get mine at Dollar Tree. In fact, I stocked up BEFORE Dollar Tree raised their prices. People can laugh at "preppers" all they want, but we are the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

Don't laugh at me but I have tried every natural deodorant with poor results. I tried the new one called Lume and it works great and all natural. I bought a pack of three for 33 dollars, yes eleven dollars each. I know it's expensive but worth it to me. N

The secret to shopping at Sam’s Club is to buy several items when on sale. They have monthly sales which are really good. I buy 1-2 years worth (as long as it’s something we normally buy). We get 3% back so we always make back our yearly fee. We save a ton of money. The other thing we buy is the large packages of shredded cheese and large packages of meat. We repackage and freeze.

[@Myfavorites877]

[@rebeccaturner4988]

One area I save money is not buying pet treats etc. I buy a huge bag of hamster mix which is usually like £1.50 per kilo. It lasts like 6 months - even with 10 + hamsters etc. For treats, I use things like cereal, used cupcake liners with cake in it, chicken, cheese, meal worms from poundland - lasts a month at least, biscuits, carrots, nuts etc. So much cheaper than brightly coloured corn rings etc. At hamster shows the hamsters are given a dog biscuit and a piece of fruit and veg - not a whole one. So much cheaper too.

I buy cereals, crackers, chips, and cookies that are expired. I have had many of these items in storage for several years. If they are stale, I put them in my dehydrator for a couple of hours, and they are crispy and fresh once again. Last week I purchased 480 dollars worth of expiring meats for 65 dollars. I immediately washed, repackaged, and froze them. Now I am all stocked up! Havent bought paper products in 8 years. I went to goodwill and bought fleece pajama pants for 50 cents a pair. I cut them up into 8 inch squares to use for toilet paper (family cloth). I launder these as I would baby diapers. They work great, and I have saved thousands of dollars over the years. I use cut up t shirts for cleaning everything! I keep them in a 5 gallon bucket under my kitchen sink. My husband brought in a 3 pak of paper towels the other day and I about had a fit! He wasted 5 dollars for something he threw in the trash! 😳 You girls are just like me! You are such a blessing! GOD BLESS YOU!

I work in the cleaning business, and instead of buying paper towels for cleaning, I use only a few of the clients' paper towels. I reuse paper towels from the clients' mirrors to do their toilets, and then I throw them out because of sanitary reasons. I never buy them for my own house, but I have several packages of them that I got from doing cleaning jobs. I never use them, so they are only here for emergency reasons. I use old rags or old, used paper towels at home for my own cleaning. I use used paper towels for cleaning items that are really filthy, and then I throw them out. I believe in no waste for anything. I even throw crumbs from bagged items out for the birds and animals.

[@lovenotes5299]

For getting the bread to rise; try to use filtered or bottled water. Sometimes City water has to much chlorine and it kills the yeast. Also for Sourdough if it won't start or keep growing, it could be chlorine killing the yeast. Edited to add: you said your yeast frothed so mabe your pan is too big? That's all I can think of🤷‍♀️

Leave water on the counter with no lid. Chlorine will evaporate in twenty four hours.

It’s always a nail biter when there is remodeling underway. Having lived through several - some we did and the last one was completely contractors. I moved out of my house for seven months (all of this budgeted at 175k - all materials, labor, installation, permits etc and my living expenses off site) to an extended stay hotel with my pet. My house was completely gutted to the outside walls and rebuilt with new plumbing, electrical etc. my best friend did the kitchen design - however I did the original floor plan if my home (a ranch) had an architect do the proper drawings. It went a couple weeks past time as it was started in May and I moved back in mid-December just in time for the …drum toll please: the kitchen counters, cabinets and appliances. I bought this house post divorce in 1998 and the complete gut job in 2016. I love my house as it was designed for me to age in place.

[@TheJuliedew]

I really appreciate a successful person saying not to budget. I don't always have the time and energy. What I do though is when I get paid, I move money to savings in a bank that takes 3 days to transfer back, and only leave enough in that checking account for bills and gas. My husband only transfers money from the business account to checking when there are bills to pay. We've found this keeps us far more accountable than budgeting and tracking spending and saves a lot of time.

[@judyhammond9054]

I use e-cloths for windows and mirrors, one wet, one dry, then the special polishing one to make it shine. Works great! I have two sets and even take them to church work days for doing the windows. Had them for years so I have saved a lot. I don't buy paper towels.

I love my napkins and paper towels, but I only buy on sale. Sams napkins lasts us a year or two at $11, so that doesn't really effect my spending. Paper towels on sale in bulk seems to be the cheapest way to get a good paper towel. They are not all created equal. We got that (thing )so bad last January husband had to be on oxygen for 8 weeks and missed almost a months work. I get sick every 6 to 8 weeks now. I will say God , friends prayers and the supplies he allowed us to purchase saved my husband's life. We had food, meds, and medical supplies that alerted us when to go to ER. My husband walked out on oxygen 5 hours after I had left him( I could not go in because I had it too). That doesn't happen when someone is as sick as he was with pneumonia. Men please be careful he was day 14 when he turn for the worst. Ask doctors for a steroid and antibiotics. We were informed at hospital this was normal for hispanic males . That he would test negative for the thing then positive for pneumonia, and he sure did. Stock piles don't just work they save lives and money. The oxygen alone was like $800 not including machines and hoses that was the bottles and we only refilled 2 bottles once each. Could not image a hospital bill for long care like that.

[@stacyberry6097]

I have tried to quit paper towels a few times, but this new year I put 1 roll under the cabinet to using to blot bacon.

Our grocery stores in E TN have the worst mark down prices! We moved here from an island in Alaska and had way better discount (seasonal, post-holiday) prices than this place! The Wlamart has cranberries marked down from $2.36 to $1.50 so the sign says. As I recall, that's the exact same price as before the holidays. The only place worth shopping that I have found is Hobby Lobby at 90% off where we bought several 2024 Christmas gifts for our daughters-in-law and grandd-daughters. Walmart did have some Christmas kids clothing on sale for $1.50. We bought something for each of the grand-children in the next larger size and then a Christmas tree for $17.50 (that's less than the local Good Will stores as we went to several). Ugh! We are continuing to visit Walmart, Kroger and UGO to see if they will mark down those cranberries to no more than $0.75 / bag--I really only want to pay $0.25-$0.50 / bag. In Alaska we used to get cranberries for those post-holiday prices...And clothing at the itty-bitty Walmart? Well, out of season summer / winter / holiday kids clothing was $0.25 - $1.00 a piece. Ugh! So frustrating! If I didn't love those sweet grand-babies so much...We are both nurses and only have a small house payment but still. Dag-blasted thieves. Oh, absolutely no gift packs of any kind on the shelves the day after Christmas! Not one that had been there Christmas Eve. No way they sold all of those things. No way. Stinks!

Thank you for your planner. I purchased it a few days ago and started using it immediately. I love it. It has helped me to get organized daily as a busy homeschool mom. My teens asked for the same planner to help them get organized after seeing the difference it has made for myself.

I grew up with left over day and it was our favorite day of the week every got to eat their favorites

Eggs are $5 a dozen at major grocery stores and $2.63 at Walmart. Milk is $4 a gallon at major grocery stores and $2.66 at Walmart. The savings of just those 2 items at Walmart saves saves enough to buy a pound hamburger or 3 - 16oz bags of beans. Shopping just one store is extremely expensive.

I have a bag of clothes that I was going to take to Goodwill. Now, this weekend, I think I will cut them up and make cleaning rags instead. We've been buying paper plates. We use them everyday. I've been feeling bad about this. I think we will just save them for emergencies. Last night at the grocery I found a couple good deals. Body wash for 99 cents and canned pumpkin for 25 cents! Love your channel and your cookbooks and e books!

If one has ears to hear Jill and Tamra’s suggestion and principle, the person will do fine. It was me. Who heard what they said, especially Jill. Thanks Jill

A year later 😂 I actually counted the number of rolls of paper towels.... 10 rolls an the main mess I cleaned up was vomit bc I hate washing vomit laundry. Like I'm not throwing the bedding out but that's what paper towel is for

Does anyone know the episode where Tawra talks about food pantries, and why she doesn't donate?

[@siliconvalleymom901]

Thank you for all that you all do for so many. Keep up the great job! Found a great deal on chicken thighs at the local grocery store, plus an extra dollar off! I like to plan my menu on what I have and what’s on sale for a good deal! Wishing everyone all the best! Love and hugs to all!

You can use old newspaper to clean windows and mirrors and have less streaking and less lint

[@kathleenj1158]

I use 2-3 rolls of paper towels each year, but I'm trying to use less now. 🙂

Very very important that this culture educated wrong on wasting food! If we save and recycle all the food, I did came out way less food budget than before I through a lot of food away.

The store where I work has locks on the dumpsters. I use restaurant style cloth napkins as napkins and old ones for cleaning. Also I LOVE my new planner!!

[@veronicaavsec6808]

We eat a lot of leftovers. But if you don't want to eat it the next day, then freeze it and label it and date it. And pull it out another day

The bigger picture is that her cookbooks save money in the long run because it eliminates food waste
