10 Shockingly Simple Ways You Can Save HUNDREDS Every Month 🤫 you'll be shocked how easy this is!!

Borrowing from friends/family also just builds community and forces you to spend time with your people!

I always make a cart that lasts for weeks and I dont buy in the end. Its my version of window shopping.

I’ve unfollowed influencers or skip videos of hauls and Amazon purchases bc I’ve noticed I’m more inclined to add things to cart when I watch them!

I work 50-60 hours a week at a high-stress corporate job. Trying to cook, clean, take care of the house and everyone in it was causing me so much stress and exhaustion that I decided to do the opposite: I started looking into convenience services. I hired a cleaning company to come every two weeks - I still do daily and weekly light cleaning, but I leave the deep cleaning to the experts. I also started online grocery shopping and opting for delivery instead of curbside pickup. By doing those two things, I'm saving my sanity. I have more time to actually breathe and sit down with my family every night. I am barely at home as it is, so this way my husband and son get to see me and talk to me, and I get to be with them - not be around them while I do chores, but BE with them. Ohh and meal planning and online grocery shopping are amazing money savers!! Totally worth the $10 delivery fee, and I would say I'm saving enough to even cover the cleaning fee, so it's a win-win!!

Liked these ideas for saving money, but you didn't mention Buy Nothing. It's a great way to save money and keep things out of landfills. AND, it doesn't take a lot of time.

I love staying in BUT having a night out with my husband from time to time is such a treat.💝

Ordering groceries online and getting curbside pickup is the best thing ever - and the best convenience as well as cost saving service to come out of the pandemic!! I will never again waste time and extra money (yes, talking about those end-caps and mid-aisle temptations!) and interrupting nap times and my precious free time in the grocery store. Everything is ready when I schedule my pickups, it's loaded into my car, and there's one quick thing off my to-do list. Love it.

I’m the type of person who puts lots of stuff I find interesting in my cart. Only to go through it after a while and take everything off. 😂

The one day a week buying is a good idea. It stops my impulse buying. Thanks for the idea

My community has a Facebook group that has come in really handy. Recently someone needed two 9-inch cake pans, and I was able to lend them to her so she didn't have to buy them. I've borrowed tools from neighbors. It's great.

I’ve been watching your videos since I was about 16. now that I’m 20 and on my own, I feel that I have some of these practices already down thanks to you

Our town library has a small appliance section. You can borrow instapots, air fryers, slushy makers, etc! .

I think it's usually a good idea to have a back up plan. If you have a flat tire thursday at 4, you may not be able to take care of that issue and fix dinner. But, instead of hitting the drive thru or opening up uber eats, a less expensive back up plan may be cans of ravioli kept in an out of the way place at home in your kitchen. Also, i just decided i want a cake stand and it's all your fault. Bht instead of amazpn I'll look at arc which is a thrift store here in the denver area.

Ohhh, I've heard the idea to wait a week, but never to buy all your purchases for the week on one day! That's genius and would definitely be more helpful for me than just waiting a week on each individual purchase on my wishlist because those little things adding up really are what get me! I love doing grocery pickup! Then on the few occasions when I do go in to shop, it's more less of a drudgery because it's so rare. Grocery day can already be exhausting without having to walk around the store and then carry things inside, meal prep, and put things away!

I admit that Amazon is way too easy. I will put stuff in my cart but then I don't look at it for a few days. I end up putting at least half if not, 75% of the stuff and take it out of my cart.

I can't do online grocery shopping. I have to pick out my own produce. I don't want to be given something as a replacement for what wasn't available. I don't need an extra person touching my food after who knows how many people already have. I am just very particular and they never seem to verify that all the eggs are unbroken.

I've been buying some kid books second hand. My son fell in love with a book we checked out at the library, so I just decided to buy it used for like $4 instead of $17. I've also been loving second hand clothes. Got an amazing jean jacket for $20.

Kallie, I so agree with meal planning. I’m retired and lack of time is not the issue it was, when I worked and had children at home, but knowing what I’m cooking for supper every night is so relaxing and reduces anxiety. I live in a rural area, where I have to drive 45 minutes or more to grocery shop. So I enjoy getting out and schedule all of my other errands for the same day. I make a thorough list and, for the most part, I’m able to stick to it. As far as ordering online, like Amazon, I have a huge Save For Later, that I use to prevent impulse buying. I often go through the list and delete items that I realize are not needed. I guess, for me, it comes down to discipline, it’s hard, but even as a retired couple, money just isn’t going as far, so we have to be smart. Thank you for all,of your suggestions 🙂

I would beware of subscription purchases. Sometimes you're buying something you don't need anymore and it's cluttering your cupboard while eating away at your budget. I do buy off my daughter's wedding registry because these are gifts she and her husband have chosen, they can be received in a couple of days, and if it's a large, bulky item I can have it shipped to their house because there's 2 of them to move the item.

I agree with buying used for kid things, they don’t wear out most of their stuff and as for clothing they out grow it first and it can be passed on again. I love thrifting, I get a hit of dopamine every time I use a thrifted item I got for a bargain on. Hooray ! Love your channel ❤❤
