I thought most grocery store apps/programs were about the same, but learned they're not. Had been going to the same grocery store forever (grew up going there), but started going to a different one that was closer and noticed their app would start showing me custom/additional discounts I could apply on regular foods I buy every week (including produce, breads, and other staples, not just non-staple items like some of the others). This store used to have the perception of costing a bit more (pennies/dimes more, not dollars), but since It's easy to compare prices with other stores apps it hasn't necessarily been the case.

Roughly £120k in my portfolio are in tech/TSLA stocks, can I get an advice on any other stocks that I can acquire to diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation.

You need to hire a financial advisor to help you diversify your portfolio by including Mutual Funds, Etf's, the 11 GICS groups, inflation-indexed bonds, and stocks of companies with reliable cash flows rather than growth stocks, where prices were based on future prospective earnings.

That's correct. At first, I wasn't too pleased with my gains compared to my previous performances, I was doing so poorly, I thought I needed to diversify into better assets, so I got in touch with an investment-advisor.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial.

I shop at Walmart and noticed their prices on beef and chicken in terms of cost per pound. Luckily I went to my local butcher who was able to beat the cost per pound for fresh chicken and choice & prime beef if I bought in bulk. I did that and vacuumed sealed all of it. The positives are he knows my preferred cuts of meat. We have a solid owner/customer relationship. It’s healthier, tastes better and cheaper than eating out and I am supporting a small business owner while saving $.

I started shopping the Walmart brand for anything I can’t get in bulk. Game changer. I also went plant based two years ago….I easily save $50 per week…👍🏻👍🏻

I shop with a self-imposed deadline. I look at my list, give myself about 20min to Get In & Get Out. I take a coffee thermos along. It's still warm when I get back to the car. It's amazing what I don't even see in there, and I make a note of an item or aisle to be sure to review next visit. I also have about 4 fav stores that I visit twice/mo. Two this week and two next week for the Best in Produce and Basics.

Great tips but the one about not having kids might be a bridge too far. But like cars, there are plenty of good quality used kids on the market and many are available in a package deal where you get a good used wife in the bargain. Buy a used house and, presto, you have a family at a fraction of the cost. I got my kid when he was 9. No disposable diapers to buy and his teeth were in good shape so the largest expenses were food, clothing, little league baseball fees, motorcycles, computers, summer camp fees and guitar lessons. Later on they will need a car but most are happy with you old car, leaving you free to upgrade. As with most things, a good quality used kid is the better deal. Just maintain it properly and give it unconditional love and it will love you back.

I am with you on the needs vs wants. I believe there is a high correlation between those who complain about the high cost of groceries and the high amount of treats in their cart. I have no impulse control with treats so I never keep them in my apt. If I want a cookie or something, I have to go to the store and about 80% of the time laziness wins out. Shhhh, don't tell people about frozen veggies, then they will be out of stock at the store 🙂. I am fan of batch cooking for 2 hours on Sunday so all I have to do is microwave a meal.

Great tips! I've been grocery shopping according to most of your tips for years. With inflation, and people complaining that their grocery expenses have gone up 15% in three past several months, my grocery bills have actually gone DOWN as I no longer buy meat unless I find a very good deal (at the grocery store Lidl) and I very infrequently buy "wants" instead of needs. It also helps that neither my husband or I drink alcohol.

Love your uptempo way of getting us through your hacks! Frugal greetings from Germany... 🙂

You are spot on with your hacks. The supermarkets here are wise to the weekly shopper with a list. They are now randomly discounting staples to encourage more frequent trips. The up side is you can find great bargains and can stock up. The downside is you are tempted to buy what is not needed. PS saving 60% of income is a great goal. Mind you, the higher the income the easier it is to achieve. On minimum wage essential living costs eat it all up, leaving nothing or barely nothing to save.

For energy saving, try wearing an Oodie or similar double fleece lined hooded top/wearable blanket. I swear by them. Plus wear 2 pairs of socks, one a thick woollen pair. 2 pairs of pants. It's fantastic. Plus use the old fashioned hot water bottles. I have 2 and swear by them as well. If your circulation is bad get a rebounder and jog at home with the tv going and subtitles on. It really works and much cheaper and more convenient than going out to a gym. If you are freezing warm up with a quick hot shower, get dressed immediately and then use the hot water bottles. Wear a beanie to bed and inside. Oh and fingerless gloves. They work really well. Get 2 of everything so you can wash them. There is always kerosene heaters cheap to run....but they do stink and you have to be careful of carbon monoxide poisoning or oxygen asphyxiation...not worth the saving on the cost of living if it means dying! But possible if you have proper ventilation.

Hack #7 There are 3 fill lines barely visable inside the cap; for small medium and large loads. The large load is about 1/3 of the cap. If you fill the cap to the top you're using 3 times too much.

When myself or someone else in the house does laundry a cap full has already been set up prescribed level.
