Tessie, I enjoyed this video. So many good frugal ideas. Sometimes when you use your brain and think, ideas come to you. I’m definitely trying to waste less food. I am a very giving person and feel this year that I need to be wiser with my giving. I sometimes give to family members who do not use their own resources very wisely.

[@xyladivine]

Tessie, we are more alike than you would ever know! My hint is to keep your gas tank full, & your car clean. A clean car uses less gas, (its been proven scientifically), & your car uses less gas when the tank is over the half full mark. ❤

[@kindredinspirit]

I love the tips! My local free store ministry has been a godsend for me. I purge my house and donate thousands of dollars of items annually to minimize things that I don’t need, having told much or simply don’t use. When ever I need something specific decor, crafting or necessity I most always can go down and find what I need and it’s all free, just my gas to get there. It’s been amazing for the community. When I boil things I often use my electric kettle and heat up the water there for my boiling pots, takes much less electricity over propane to get up to boil for pastas, blanching etc. My wood stove doesn’t get hot enough on top to boil it’s efficient but doesn’t have a very hot top, I can melt things on their so low crock simmer perhaps. I also thought about doing baked potatoes in foil along the edges of the coals when the wood is at its end of burning. There are always ways to learn. Saving your onion skins is amazing it such a great source of anti oxidants and bioflavonoids that help our capillaries and immunity. We freeze our potato peelings to make soups broth down the road also or crispy skins in the oven making great garnishes for soups! I love making my own makeup it’s healthy and less expensive and healthier than getting the cheapest makeup and no packaging to dispose of. I love the challenge of making things from scratch with real things from real ingredients that we have bulk. It’s a real joy when you live this way as you know. I repurpose many many things into other things. If I have a bunch of T shirts I don’t need or use I have made rag rugs or Tshirts quilts and pillow cases, if I have flannel sheets that are old I cut rectangles to be used as washable toilet paper replacements, wound dressings, surface wipes or drier sheets etc. If we have different eyes we become wise!

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

I started to kick out all the things that weren't cheap in use or replaced it by energy friendly ones a few years ago. And that was a big money saver, within a year the difference was that high that I payed it back easily. From the money saved in the last years I've bought a chinese dieselheater, a chickencoup and material to build a greenhouse. And I'm not even done yet. There are still some opportunities left.. Like canning outside and solar power :) I don't have to worry about money for my retirement, but it's more about the costs of living in the future.

[@christinatom9146]

I appreciate your videos Tessie! One caution though, some items like foods, cleaning products and personal care products are not always better if they are cheaper. Sometimes I cannot afford to spend more to get the best product, but most of items whether cheap or expensive have chemicals and preservatives and toxins in them that are dangerous or I am allergic to. To save money, i grow some of my own food, always cook from scratch, clean with things like vinegar, soap and water, essential oils, etc. and use coconut oil and cocoa butter to moisturize. Believe it or not, the hair brush I have I got in 1982 to start high school!!! It is a real boar bristle brush with wood and still works great!

[@lizkunkel6751]

We try to plan where we're going and what stops we're going to make along the way so that we're not zig-zagging all over and wasting gas. I also love shopping at the Dollar Tree and at thrift stores. We've always made it a point to live frugally and hate wasting things.

[@DeborahGusman-k8w]

Since I started watching you Tessie and your savvy ways, when it comes to our weekly rubbish collection for food waste here in Australia I have gone down from three rubbish bags to one and really feel great not wasting food anymore, freezing and using up what I have and repurposing things.

[@nonap5225]

You are not alone. I do not go to any store just to window shop. I have a need for something is why I go to a store. Window shopping leads to spending on things that you do not need. Getting wants are expensive and takes up space in your home. I keep a list of what I need and wait until I can catch it on sale. I do not spend my time going to stories that I can afford to pay cash for and for items I do not need. Of course at 81 years old, I have most of the things I need.

Saving money requires some work. I totally believe, as a housewife, that I am responsible for not wasting the money my husband works hard for. By working hard at home, I can truly stretch the money he brings home. It's extremely rare that I purchase anything frivolous. If I purchase something it serves a purpose because I am not one who enjoys "stuff". Most items also need to serve more than one purpose for me to pay money for it. Also, if I am able to make it myself, I will do that before purchasing something. I figure if someone else can make it, so can I.☺

[@nonap5225]

I agree with you and saving every penny you can for when you may it sometime down the road. I was so blessed to be a stay at home mom and raise my daughter and son. I do not go to stores just to window shop. When you do, you end up buying things you do not need and it just takes up space in your home. I shop in stores when I need something. I wait for sales and pay cash for things. Have been debt for over 40 years. At 81 years old, I have everything I need. I also have some things I want that I did not really need but enjoy looking at. It is not about how much money you make it about how to manage the money. Both of our children graduated from college with Masters degree. So it can be done. We also support our church with giving 10 percent of our income. At 81 years of age, I know it works. Jesus has blessed us beyond anything that I have imagined and my husband of 62 and 1/2 years and I give Him all the credit for how our lives have turned out. Jesus is the answer to all things. From deep southeast Mississippi.
