Little things help you save money and time. There are things I don't wish to spend money on:
Cleaning Products
Health and Beauty Products
Books
Prepared foods
Yogurt, sprouts, baked goods
By not purchasing the above items, I have eliminated my trash bill. That is a savings of 780 dollars a year.
By creating the above items, I save 7,000 a year. That is minus ingredients and materials.
The key is to put that money away so you can see it grow.
Join loyalty programs to earn rewards and free products.
Do you really need 5 streaming subscriptions? I have reduced ours to 2. We have added a better antenna that we found in the estate sale cleanout.
DIY when you can. You will save on labor costs.
Make your money count. Use coupons when you can. Check your prices I have been overcharged many times.
Delay purchases to see if you truly need it.
Let your teens waste money. Our son learned the hard way with the VR goggles he purchased. The purchase was a bad one. He found the battery didn't hold and they were impossible to calibrate.
Go meatless once a week if your dietary needs allow it.
Buy generic.
Sometimes you need to make more money. I hear from many mothers I can't do anything to earn an income or I don't want to because........ Yet, they are stressed.
Try being an Air BNB host.
Watch a child during the day.
Tutor
Be a personal shopper
Pet sit
Share items with family and friends. Movies and CDs, homeschooling supplies, and toys to name a few.
Ten things I no longer purchase:
Sponges (I grow luffas)
plastic ziplock bags
plastic wrap
plastic containers
CDs/ movies
physical books
mascara
lipstick
home decor
socks(I knit them)
