As a first time investor I started trading with Mr Robertuptrade with just a thousand bucks. my portfolio is worth much more that now within just weeks of trading….
Very thoughtful and innovative ways to save money. And I am going to start practicing most of these. I am not really a minimalist but trying to practice minimalism. And the goal is to attain financial freedom ASAP. Off late I have created a lot of organisers around my house using the delivery packages that we receive from amazon and likes. This has saved me huge amount that otherwise I would have spent if buying fancy organisers from stores. I have also started following the 36 hours rule. If I am tempted to buy something, I hold that temptation for 36 hours and evaluate after 36 hours if I am still as eager to buy the stuff. 90% of the time, I don't feel the temptation anymore. For my kids, I exchange story books and toys with like minded people in my apartment complex or borrow from library. Pre planning meals and food prep on one day for the rest of the days of the week has helped me avoid food wastage tremendously.
Or you could take it further…. Instead of ordering the large meal, eat at home. In less time than it takes to go to a restaurant and order a meal, you could cook the meal from scratch at a fraction of the price. Instead of discount haircuts, you could stop cutting your hair altogether. I did this and discovered that waist length hair is surprisingly easy to care for. In addition to planning your car trips, you could get rid of the car. Occasionally hiring a car is cheaper than owning one. Offer gas money and hitch a ride with a friend. Instead of selling your stuff, stop buying things you don't need in the first place. You get the idea.
We're a family of eight. I freeze two loaves of bread and refrigerate the current loaf. It might dry the bread a bit, but I'd rather do that than have the occasional SURPRISE moldy slice and haha to pitch the remainder. Eww.
I hear a lot of people say that grocery pickup saves them money. For me, it saves time only. I'm convinced grocery pickup costs more. The prices I see in the online cart vs the prices I see at the store are slightly different. I get too many substitutions, damaged products, and "out of stock" products I then go inside and find myself to make grocery pickup worth it.
Agree with walking out of a store empty-handed; I’ve honestly rarely felt guilt over this! I’m so picky when it comes to things I buy, that it’s common for me to walk out without anything, and I never go shopping just to look anymore. I always go to a store with a specific need in mind. Also, there are now BuyNothing groups where you can ask your local neighbors for something you need, and many people either have an extra one they can give you or that you can borrow, or they just want to get rid of theirs. Great way to extend life of items and save money.
I can’t wear second hand shoes. Everyone’s fair is a bit different and how you walk in your shoes determines how and where they wear. I did this one time and had excruciating pain in my feet.
I've never heard this one but it works for me. When I think of something I want I go right to Amazon and shop for it, and take my time to find the right one with the right price. And there it ends. Mostly. I put it in my cart and when I actually need something like dishwasher powder that extra thing will be there and I will think through the pro's and con's of getting it. Usually it stays in the cart but if I decide I want it, its there. I have items in my cart or save for later from 3 years ago-turns out I really could live without it.
I'm familiar with freezing items like bread and meat, but I did not know it's possible to freeze things like spinach and berries. I shop for one, but the containers of spinach are SO BIG it usually goes bad before I can eat it all. @_@ So thanks for the info! ❤️
5:00 walking out empty handed is a good one that nobody brings up. Like the sellers don’t give a shit, they are just there to help. Also you aren’t obligated to buy anything.
Noooo! Bread is not a fridge item, it can in fact shorten the lifespan of bread. Also due to how absorbent bread is it will be very prone to absorbing a ''fridge'' taste. Bread in the fridge is extremely prone to molds and bacteria. Freezing bread is perfectly fine and is usually completely unnoticable. You can safely freeze bread for months. Never under any circumstance put bread in the fridge.
Something that I love to do is to use my credit cards for all of my regular purchases, and then turn those points into gift cards for Amazon and Starbucks. I wouldn't normally spend any money at Starbucks unless I have a gift card to use.

My one year old is my built-in time limit for shopping 😂
I have been cutting my hair on my own for 4 years now. Friday is my first salon appointment in a while and I am looking forward to it!

No offense, but cutting your own hair or skimping on that is kind of ridiculous. Unless you don’t care what your hair looks like.

I do refrigerate my bread..
And do not like buying anymore stuff I do not need.
Clutter Free.
Food going bad has nothing to do with how many people there are in the house. You've either bought too much, or you've not.
