I also found that if I’m depressed or having anxiety, I spend money. I’ve found that it’s always good to have a frozen pizza (something) easy so that if I have a bad day I’m not tempted to eat out. I’ve wasted so much money in years past on eating out. Sometimes twice a day. And that also made me gain weight.

[@janigirl2296]

Yup! Same here. When I anxious or depressed I want to go shopping. I will say I do stop myself half the time 🙈

[@u_h5]

Sameeee. I did just the same to prevent myself from order out.

[@zeldadanielle]

This. We try to follow a good diet but frozen pizza, large ice cream tubs, and boxed Mac are staples in our house due to boredom runs to Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, etc.

[@ashleyhornsby538]

Same here.

[@MizBoriMoon]

Same here! especially when i feel lonely. I tend to leave the house just to get out of my head and out of my funk. Wasting gas just to shop even if it’s at Walmart just to not feel depressed or in my anxiety.

[@KMusicStudios]

one thing that really helps and makes you feel like you're not depriving yourself is to allow yourself to get your coffee once a week - rather than every single day. It will also feel like such a treat the day you allow this :)

[@kathymckelvey1693]

I only buy coffee on sale out on saturday as my treat.

[@aussiejubes]

Agreed. The advice is absolutely sound, but unless I'm in a crisis I have to find some balance & enjoy little luxuries so I don't find day to day living an epic grind. Living in complete spending abstinence isn't sustainable for most people, so I know for me, allowing a coffee or a movie ticket or something semi-regularly keeps me on track. I'm terrible for "popping the cork" as I like to call it lol. If I've been saying no to myself for months, once I spend on something, that's it, I'm unleashed, & justify all sort of purchases for weeks lol.

[@ChelleJohn]

Great tips. I will never understand people who don’t eat their leftovers.

[@DazzleDust32]

Hi Kyra. I met some friends for a picnic the other week. I made cous cous and a pasta salad at home and took along a couple of cans of pre-mixed drink I had in our cabinet at home, my bamboo reusable cutlery set and a cotton napkin. I packed it all up in a cute little picnic basket I bought ten years ago. The cost of a nice afternoon out with friends? Nothing! The only cost was my travel, which was about £5. I was so proud of myself! 😛Have a great week and hugs for Milo. x

[@Lulaluna603]

Great video Kira! These tips also apply to people who aren’t on low income, we should all try to spend our money more conscientiously.

[@tiashadae1143]

Agreed!!!

[@Kyraann.]

Very true 🙌🏼🤍

[@Kyraann.]

Thank you so much Lola for the super thanks 🥹🤍

[@Kimmy-rh1ry]

kyra. you have been a godsend for me. I started watching you from the beginning when you first started KZbin. you have helped me streamline my home, limit my purchases, decluttering and cleaning up my life in general. I have saved so much money following your tips and recommendations. I'm learning that quality is better than quantity. I've purchased alot of items from your Amazon page and I can't thank you enough. please continue to make videos for us. we love you.

[@ruthnne]

Every time I make a stupid purchase, A new or old Kyra’s video pops up. 🙎🏽‍♀️I never seem to learn. 😩…one day at a time.

[@ladyjkelley827]

I love leftovers! And a plus is depending on the meal it taste even better the next day because the food marinates overnight from all that good seasoning.

[@klaudiabana]

Thank you for the tips Kyra! I am currently not working and have been caught up with shopping/social media.. Its a reminder to check in with myself and remember the important things 🤍

[@beyondstudio2938]

Absolutely love this video! It reminds me so much of your older videos you posted when I first found you on here ❤️ You are the one KZbinr who made me fall in love with minimalism and saving money instead of wasting them on things to impress people I don’t even like 😆 I am rooting for you and those 100K so much girl! You deserve to have many more followers and I love watching you grow ✨

[@irishcladdagh3]

Left overs YES PLEASE!!! I meal prep for my work week and by the end all the left overs go into one pan and a masterpiece has been born....Ive been able to save thousands by being frugal sustainable and minimalist and it keeps me from having to need a 2nd job....I just live below my means since 2016 and its my best life yet.....GOTTA CHECK YOUR ALOE GEL VLOG GIRL....HI MILO!

[@princessjayla010]

Thanks for this video! I've never been in this low income situation but I'm currently off work on disability and I've been feeling it's impossible to save when you don't even have much. I canceled a few of my subscriptions and I've been making my iced coffee at home. I haven't went shopping for clothes in so long because I realized that I don't even go anywhere lol It's the small things that can add up!

[@ErinRowe]

Whenever we splurge on ice cream, the Talenti gelato containers make great lunch box containers to take leftovers. :)

[@tinan8011]

sticking with what works is a great tip. i found my style this year and i'm so satisified with my current wardrobe, my clothes shopping has decreased significantly! i also cycle through the same meals and snacks to bring to work. i almost dread changing jobs because i'll probably have to change my wardrobe and food habits

[@mbxtn]

Hey! I just started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for sharing your ideas on saving money. I’m trying to be more frugal to save up money to renovate my old house. It can be hard to stick to a budget and your videos help motivate me to keep going! I hope you have a great day. You are so close to that 100k!

[@sarahcook908]

Just saw you are at 100k 💗 Congratulations. Even if it doesn't stay, still so proud of you. It's been amazing to watch your channel grow over the last few years and you've been truly inspiring for me.

[@themultilingualfamilyhub]

I always take tupperware boxes with me when eating out. That way I don't feel pressured to finish my food and stuff myself, and I have leftovers to take home for the next day!

[@cruiser122s.d.8]

My family is not into fashion, make-up, or beauty products. We do use a lot of reusable items, and no one has periods anymore in my household for various reasons. We all save for any big purchases, or to replace an item. We do buy things that are want items, but it comes out of our spending money that month, or we save for it. It's ok to have fun & want as well as needed items.

[@lucerovillegas3133]

I feel like you are back to the original videos that I used to love! You will get to 100k in no time!

[@eleniprovia7667]

Kyra, I am glad to say I have been practicing all of this for a few years already. All of your tips are great not only for saving money, but also to help the environment. Aloe Vera is a godsend! Thank you for your wonderful content, bless you lovely Kyra 💖💖💖💖

[@kiaanee]

congratulations on 100k!! I think I seen you got 100k from your ig story! so excited for you 💓I’ve been busy but I’m so excited to binge watch all the videos I’ve missed 🤗

[@sherilynalexnder897]

Love the idea to use fresh aloe gel! I have frizzy hair and live in south FL, so def going to give that a try, thanks

[@clairekirkwood8939]

Love these type of videos of yours. Reminds me of how you started out and encourages me to be more careful either how I spend money!

[@jennifercrews3175]

Using my Menstrual cup makes me feel like I’m able to “stick it to the man” in some silly way! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@natashak3387]

Thank you so much, Girly! This was really helpful. I love using reusable items and leftovers!!! You have many very good points. I love your accent by the way! Take care!

[@arjumandbano121]

i love this !! absolutely agree with everything you said !!

[@andrearichter3413]

Great video, as always!! Thank you Kyra! I love that you tie in being less wasteful as well as saving money. The culture in the US, and probably most of the world, has really become all about one-time use products and it's insanely expensive in the long run. My grandma just gifted me beautifully embroidered handkerchiefs to use instead of tissues. Why did we ever stop using these?! My allergies have been so bad this year and I've noticed that the cloth handkerchiefs don't shed all the fuzz regular tissues do and my nose is less irritated now. The simple things :)

[@katrina4820]

That is mainly the US fro my experience. Also quantity vs quality. US seems to go for quantity with little regard for quality. You don't need a lot but invest in quality. Don't shop picking up everything or buying an item simply because it's on sale. Not difficult but again I didn't grow up with US consumer culture.

[@fromhumblebeginnings7798]

Excellent suggestions!! So logical but we all need reminders! thank you

[@SaraNovau]

Thank you for this video, I really appreciate how real you are and how you keep me down to earth 💕

[@justsamantha2914]

I was going back and forth all day about buying a new purse because I got a little extra money for my birthday. Do I need a new purse? No. I have a few already I use often and love but I wanted a new one just because. Watching this video helped put things into perspective a bit more and I decided to save that money instead. So thank you!! 🤍

[@sonyavincent7450]

Just an idea: there area masses of them in thrift shops. Sometimes new with tags, for just a few dollars.

[@sandybj1492]

Thank you Kyra. Good tips. I try to use more reusable items. I still have a long way to go but I use reusable feminine hygiene pads,reusable toilet paper and as much as I can reusable tissues. I know it's easier when you have access to a washing machine. But it's a great way to save money. I love watching your videos they're always helpful. Enjoy the rest of the day and week.

[@sarahthatcher123]

So thankful you don’t do sponsorships…so true , it’s almost always things we don’t really need.

[@Zigkiss]

So helpful, new tips and reminders of things I already try to implement. Great video!!

[@janeelizabeth6711]

Great tips, I totally agree, those coffees and subscriptions here and there really do add up over a month or a year. Thank you for sharing.

[@donnadixon8065]

Kyra, thank you, I learn so much from you. Keep up the good work and God bless.

[@tammyjones6779]

Love you and everything u do. Thank u for your help. Keep up great work

[@lisapitts9518]

Great video! We are buying a new home this year, so I am doing very little spending on clothes. If and when I think I may want something I shop the clearance racks or thrift stores. Recently I got 2 pairs of shorts and a Beatles T-Shirt for a total of $3 at Walmart. Our goal is to put at least half down on the house and take our time with decorating it.

[@sharonshmuel3386]

Huge congratulations on 100K ❤️💝👏🏼💖Well earned for sure

[@teekeylahnc2021]

Kyra, cant wait for the updated reusable item video. Loved the video!! ❤

[@bluegypsy71]

🙂❣️Also if you are in need of something, there’s groups online that have free stuff or low cost items available. Save peels from veggies for soup stock. Trade clothing with friends or family to refresh your wardrobe. Make scrunchies out of cuts of fabric from worn out clothes. I love coffee, so I make a batch of coffee in a coffee maker and take some to work or put it in fridge for easy iced coffee option.

[@cmartin90]

This is a wonderful and informative video. Less is more. I switched to re-usable feminine hygiene pads because I wanted to reduce the amount of waste that I produce and it does help in saving alot of money in the long-term. Living simply and happily grounds us as human beings.

[@gegeunique8257]

Ahhhh congratulations babe for reaching 100k !!!!

[@bealea_lea_]

You can also get movies and series from the library. They might not have the newest stuff but classics like friends and Grey's anatomy. At least where I live they have things online so I don't have to drive into town. Saves me gas and time. And I don't have to think about fees for bringing back things to late.

[@bealea_lea_]

Addition for students: some university libraries have a movie section too.

[@conniepleasant1081]

Stay with what works….so true. I started my minimalist journey 2018 and one huge thing I learned is DONT BUY A MILLION LIPSTICKS 💄IN THE SAME COLOR‼️😝 I am currently using up the dupes and sticking to my nicer brands that “work” for me. For all the dupes I’ve tried I could have repurchased the ones I love. UGH 😩 Lesson learned. I also have stuck to the same skin care line since the beginning of this year, and I keep two styling products (curl cream & gel) to a minimum. Basically, beauty products have been my problem and I’m getting it under control and using up everything and minimizing my favs. I also, have recently unsubscribed 14 million emails from products I love and text messages. I feel they only make me want to shop for things I don’t need or waste time looking at things I don’t need. I am also going to switch my cell phone service over to Mint Mobile since I paid my phone off. Whew…more loose ends to pull together. 📱

[@traversatile3471]

Although taking a break from social media is nice mental health-wise, it really doesn't make that much of a difference if the issue is seeing ads. Advertisements are so engrained in our culture that if we don't see them on social media, we will still see them somewhere else. But if your INTENTION behind it is fighting temptation or comparison, that's another thing. For me, I've found that having a "want" bookmark folder on my browser helps a ton because if I see something I like, I can bookmark it and come back to it later when I do have enough to buy it.

[@Smiless0612]

Thanks for videos like this. It honestly helps a lot.

[@claytonhufford6922]

Dead on, Kyra. It's the little things that add up.

[@owlbefine8910]

Trying to take better care of the clothes I have. It seems clothes are not made to last a long time so I’m def tryin to buy quality over quantity.

[@cozysweetpotato]

One content creator said that most zero waste sustainable products the first month or year breakeven and then after that its just money saved. A bidet? After a year its money saved. A safety razor? 6-12 months its money saved (depending on how much you shave). Reusable paper towels and napkins? After a month or two that's just money saved (esp if you use a lot).

I prefer to eat at home but recently I started to bring with me the leftover food when I go to a restaurant, I already paid it so Why not 😁

[@Kyraann.]

Yass!! I use to do this as well when ever we went and if there was leftovers. I would be so happy to have that food for lunch the next day when I worked a 9-5

[@asanta2023]

Love this video Kyra🧡 Quick question, I like the water bottle you have and it’s a little pricey, is it worth it? Did you like it for a particular reason? Thinking of getting one. Tfs 🌸

[@Kyraann.]

Thank you 🤍 I honestly got as a gift but I really love that it can go in the dish washer and it makes me drink more water through out the day. I’ve tried stainless steel bottles in the past and for some reason over time they make the water taste so nasty. But the glass water bottle never does, the water always tastes fresh for some weird reason. You probably can find them cheaper at tj maxx or Marshall’s 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@BudgetsWithELMA]

Great video & great savings 🤑

[@CRISSGRULLON]

Will you use reusable nappy’s when you have a child ? I used terry towel nappy’s on my first baby & felt so proud of myself pegging them out on the line to dry ,

[@Kyraann.]

Is a nappy the same thing as diapers? If so I will be trying my best to go that route unless we are traveling to see family then I will use regular diapers. But I'm gonna try it out and see how it goes. Being a mom is something I'm so nervous about and feel so lost even talking about it sometimes, luckily I don't have to worry about that subject for the next 5 years lol. So that way I have time to learn and research what I need.

[@cherylparkinson6136]

@@Kyraann. Yes we call them nappy’s , My second baby had cystic fibrosis and constant diarrhoea, so that was 2 baby’s in 10 months I had , So I used 25 nappy’s a day with the cystic fibrosis too . I had to go to throw away ones as the reusable wasn’t an option after that . Don’t stress about having kids kyra , it’s hard work 😓 but soooo worth it & they are everything to you once you have them , 😄 My cf daughter is doing great & has just had twin boys , They are amazing 🤩

[@pattywerner7586]

Do you still use color pop for your eye shadow? I want to learn how to do my eyes like yours!

[@Kyraann.]

Recently I stopped wearing eyeshadow in order to save even more money when it comes the personal items I need to buy each year. I was using colour pop for the longest time and I might go back to it one day. I'll show me decluttering some of my makeup in a vlog. How I did my eye makeup was pretty simple, a very light color all over my lid, blend it out, then had a dark brown color near the end of my eyelid only. Then I just blend it all out to make it look more natural.

[@dr.bakhtawarhaseeb5274]

These little things i started implementing a couple years ago have helped me in the long run But I am guilty of social media attractions which i try to control by limiting my time on social media. 1 hour is the maximum limit in 24 hr after which my phone shuts down the app. It has helped me with saving money and being more productice at work.
