Woman Over 50? Discover These 50 Frugal Tips To Save More Than Ever Before!

[@TSunshineful]

My life actually started in my early 60s. That was the best time of my life. It was a wake up call that there was another world out there. Besides the one I was in. I retired when I was 64 and it was all uphill after that.

[@Frugal_fitchic]

I agree 100% with what you've said . . . except for car care. I used to change the oil on my 1965 Scout ( International Harvester) but that was in the 70s. In 1980 I bought a Chevrolet Monza, which had almost no ground clearance. I wanted to buy some drive-on jacks so I could continue to change my oil, but my Dad said "No, they're too dangerous. " Fast forward 20 years, I'm working at my local hospital, and during one weekend we get three admissions for chest injuries where the car fell off these drive up jacks. No thanks, I'll let the mechanic do it!

[@Savvymammagreenlife22]

We discovered we didn't need Jack's at all to change ours.

[@AZHITW]

I'm 74 I figure if I injure myself trying to change oil the hospital bill will be far more than the cost of having my oil changed. I still do my own yard work, and keep an organized, neat and tidy home so there's that. :)

@@sam12587exactly. I have been to many farmers markets in my hometown of Melbourne & they’ve always been more expensive than grocery stores. Mind you groceries stores too are big rip offs. Now I am currently in France & the weekly markets in the villages ain’t so cheap either. The best idea is just buy enough of what you need & don’t fall for items marked down because they aren’t really that cheap.

Great tips, Sara! Reminders always appreciated for sure. A couple more to consider. 1) Take advantage of any discounts for which you may qualify: senior, military, teacher, first responder etc. Many other occupations/professions may be eligible for their own discount. 2) Stores/services don't often advertise specific discounts they offer; ask! 3) Check out sports and entertainment venues and research becoming an "event staff" person. This may be either as a volunteer or for perhaps minimal pay but a) free entertainment, b) sometimes a free, light meal is included, and c) maybe extra income.

I really appreciate your enthusiasm. I think you could do a great video about how getting older can affect us emotionally and in turn that can affect us financially. Whether it be spending more because of our emotions or not focusing on spending on the important things to take care of ourselves. I think you would do really well with discussing real emotions behind spending habits because you seem to be very down to earth.

Thank you for these great tips and reminders! I'm already doing many of these things and always have, but I paused the video and cancelled Netflix and Amazon Prime. I'll be getting a library card tomorrow. Clothing swaps can be anything swaps - food, small appliances, books, utensils, craft supplies, decor items, plants, costume jewelry, puzzles - the list is endless. Have them on a monthly or bi-monthly basis with your family and/or circle of friends and make it a potluck. Have your friends invite their friends, too. When you're finished swapping, you sit down to a shared meal and conversation. Everyone de-clutters, which improves mood, saves money, which is the goal, and socializes, which decreases isolation. Swap parties check a lot of boxes.

Like always, great ideas. One thing I did many years ago as a stay at home mom, was to use powdered milk whenever baking. It was economical and hopeuflly it is today. I use loyalty cards and a credit card points. I save those point(money) until spring then use those rewards to buy annuals and perennials for the garden. I always tell people, "I don't spend if I don' earn". Keep up the good tips!

[@audreyandrea460]

Right… but what are you baking using powdered milk? Most baked goods are unnecessary. No one needs to eat cookies, cakes, or desserts. It also saves a lot of time, in life, skipping baking and dessert.

[@sherryojeda9178]

Thank you for the refresher. I knew a lot of them, but learned some new ones.

[@cathyeller5722]

I am 64 and have been living frugal doing these things for years. Times have changed and newer ideas need to be come up with. You have to take it a step farther come up with new and better idea's. You can't just say shop sells and use coupons, now every meal has to be planned out to the last little crumb you have with nothing wasted. Having meat in a meal is now the dessert, it's for special occasions, with two more canning plants closing down soon vegetable prices will also be going up. How are you going to handle that? While casseroles used to be the secret and dump crockpot meals were the answer, now every ingredient cost 20 percent more. 5 ingredient recipes will cost you more than 20.00, now it's just plain potatoes with a side of beans. Spices will become more important, cooking outside every chance you get will be the way to go, and no you can't use those cute gas things, nor charcoal you will be going foraging for wood. Mom made a temporary cooker outside the back of the house when I was young out of some leftover concrete blocks and we found the wood. Used an old oven wire rack for the pots and pans to sit on. Think now before you get caught in the storm that is coming. Do you really need to use all that toilet paper? Reassess every purchase, save your cash, small bills, don't trust the banks, have your tax money set aside as soon as you get the last one paid off. I had thought we were going to be o.k. until I saw some utubers in Arizona show the price of a beef roast at 42.00. Those prices are moving my way, it's time to buckle down even harder. Good luck, I would like to know if anyone else is really feeling the pinch and what have they had to give up that other people think are "normal" purchases.

[@tbacon2784]

I saw that video, too... Having brain fart on name, but do remember it had glorious in the name. I have given up paper products almost completely, using family cloths and reusable homemade items instead. Cleaning products are vinegar and water with just a few drops of cheap dishsoap. Feeding pets less pet food, supplemented with cheap cuts of meat and meat juices left over from our dinners, is cheaper than straight dried food, and they like it better. Resize my old clothes since I have to eat less... have stopped desserts and drink only water, no more sodas. Have actually stopped eating almost everything that has sugar due to health problems. No sugar, no starchy carbs like carrots and potatoes, very little fruit, mostly berries. Have chickens for eggs, grow sprouts, and will probably have a small container garden of some sort once I learn more about it, AND may even do a little foraging here and there istead of letting the critters eat all my bkackberries. Oh, and I rarely buy water to drink when out as I always have a bottle that I bring from home. I also reuse grocery bags for my trash. I am sure I am forgetting something, but that is all I can think of for now.

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

I really enjoyed your comment. And I hear you. I'm taking it to heart and will put some serious thought and research into it. I truly appreciate the constructive criticism, and thank you for doing it in a kind manner.

[@Sine-gl9ly]

In the UK we usually have on/off switches on our sockets/outlets so we just switch them off, no need to fumble around unplugging them! As a child, though, we didn't, and I was always taught to unplug things for both safety and economy. It's a good habit to get into when you don't have switches on your electricity outlets. Switching off the socket or unplugging things which put themselves on 'standby' mode offers even more savings , as long as any needed settings are not lost when the power supply is cut completely.

Put strawberries in a mason jar or a baggie w a towel and don’t wash yet. Celery in foil. Mushrooms in a paper bag w a towel. Cukes in a baggie in the door w a towel. Spinach in a flat baggie w a towel. Pop blueberries in freezer as is. How to make freeze strawberries or dehydrate in your oven. Soft kiwis are the ripest. Etc. Maybe a lot of folks know these things but I sure didn’t. Lol. Lol. I dance about half an hour a few times a week (when I’m on it lol) for cardio. But I also think women over 50 need to look into strength/resistance workouts and getting enough compete proteins Bcuz we esp need to build muscle and not just burn calories. Aerobics only burn cals that we just put back on at the next meal. Muscle is more compact and kind of has a way of “pushing out” stored fat. Still not exactly sure how it works but I know you have to give fat a one two punch like that lol. I’m focusing on learning a lot more about that (resistance workouts and proper diet macro balance) sort of thing.

I received a comment from @aletheia_lookinglass but my reply is not being accepted. I wanted to say I can relate to the wall to wall, floor to floor books. If the pages are worn thin, buy duplicates like me - and I wish I could let you see my collection and vice versa. More power to you!

I get my cleaners and essential oils from a The Wellness Store, the #1 wellness store online. And the best of all cleaners and essential oils over every brand out there. The first ever company that made essential oils. I will not make my cleaners with vinegar, it does not disenfect all virus.

[@reneesissom7478]

Can you send us the essential oil link. PLEASE

I live alone and need ideas for meal's

[@conniestiles9083]

I keep it simple with a piece of meat, a vegetable, cheese, and a piece of sugar free candy. It cuts down on prep time and carbohydrates.

[@bethmichaels8410]

Make batches and freeze in individual portions. I use sandwich bags, then put all those in a gallon freezer bag. Examples: spaghetti sauce, chili, taco meat, some stew type things I then serve over rice or noodles, lasagna(make 9x13 and freeze individual size pieces), many pasta/sauce type entrees freeze well, just cook pasta 1/2 time so it’s not mushy when you reheat.

[@annetteflynn8453]

Thank you

[@ÇynthiaConstable]

i do this as well!@@bethmichaels8410

Sorry to be Mary Contrary, but this borders on Poverty Mentality which isn't a good vibe to be living on for the best of my life. Many of the ideas are good for and of themselves and are healthier options than being unnecessarily mindless about spending. Good for those! But doing these out of FEAR because I am in my 50's that i risk feeling deprived because I have to save just is not for me... Enjoy life, don't scrimp on joy and happiness!

If you don’t have money to spend because you weren’t thrifty your life won’t be so joyful.

I got a really good used stove from a family for free but I didn’t realize it had roaches in it!

I am 53 and got an opportunity to retire a month ago and guess what? I left the 🇺🇸 US and trust me it’s worth it because I can live off of my bank interest 🎉

Now I am curious. Where did you move to?

[@kpops168]

Growing things is great is you have a proper yard. I do not agree with container grown substantial food grown in pots in low quantities as the cost of very good soil and compost etc,… for the small quantity of produce doesn’t add up. I would stick to herbs and spring onions etc which are better grown at home even if in pot. Growing fruits in containers in a small quantity just doesn’t stack up. Many people spend a lot on pots and soil and conditioners of various sorts and get ten apples a year😂 Farmers markets are also frequently way more expensive than an alternative independent grocer. I would never buy fruit and veg in a supermarket but understand some have no options.

I prefer to cook my dinners and even if it is a leftover. My husband prefers to eat put! Itis a tug of war.😊

Cash gets you thru the line faster too

[@shellygreenan2407]

Good solid advice...but you don't have to be over 50 to do this. I encourage my daughters in their mid twenties and 30's to do many of these suggestions.

[@sophiawolthof1238]

👍👍👍

[@goldcat3512]

Yeah essential oils are too expensive and a waste in my opinion. Did you know dishwashing soap can be used to clean most things. Vinegar and baking soda can get expensive. I usually mix water and a tiny amount of dishwashing soap in a spray bottle and use that to clean all sorts of things.

Telling people to change their oil when you don't change your oil😮

[@saraconklinfrozenpennies]

Yes. We are a team and are not paying someone else to do it. Thanks for watching.
