    My Dad and I wanted to reduce the amount of caffeine we were consuming so we have been making regular ground coffee and using less ground coffee to make a weaker pot and then adding decaf coffee crystals to add back more coffee flavor without the caffeine. It actually taste better than full strength coffee because the decaf is just pure coffee flavor.

    After I did a pantry inventory, A few weeks ago I realized I needed to stock up on baking soda, baking powder, icing sugar and mustard but was unable to find any for a reasonable price (started to panic) until this week when they all came on sale. I stocked up. I also know I will need laundry and dish soap but I have some time to watch for those to come on sale. I went 3 weeks without milk because I used my powdered milk from pantry and then I found 2 more back up emergency jars. I will buy fresh milk in the next couple of weeks before I have to dip into my emergency powdered milk stock. Being prepared and planning is really the key. We are now having a vegetarian meal once a week and I am trying to miss one week of big grocery shopping in a month. So far that is working. Great Video

    Honestly, what would I do without you two? I start off thinking (not in an arrogant way) "Oh, I know this!" and then you say something about it that makes me sit up and think "ah, but I would keep better tabs on how much I use if etc......". This is really important for me as a relatively new vegan - the food I buy most has changed and I don't fully know yet what I buy regularly and how long it lasts. For instance, my consumption of peanut butter and chickpeas has really gone up! And I'm cooking dried beans in the Instant Pot now (and freezing excess) instead of automatically opening tins, so that's a change that I could note as well. What you give us in these videos is *so* useful. PS. Please tell us more about how you manage delaying gratification? I'm working on it but I am rubbish at it, to be honest. And PPS. Doesn't Larry look nice and smart in a tie? PPPS. Holy moly, look at how many subscribers you've got now!!! It was much less than this when I joined you, so it's going up all the time.

    Another trick, i.e., 'sales strategy,' besides physical store size, is that Walmart moves things around. As a plan, Walmart moves items from one place to another in order to have the customer walk around the store to see other items and that increases the possibility of an impulse buy.

    I bit the bullet and didn’t “go” to Walmart, but they have free curbside pick-up over $35 so I did my weekly shopping on their app, got our usual fancy items like organic bread and Gardien meats, only had to compromise on a few things, and got our grocery bill down almost $100! I know our corner grocer is one of the priciest in town, but I can bike there. Well the gas I’m saving isn’t worth the inflated prices! $6.99 for our fancy bread vs $5.18 at Walmart! $5.99 for our favorite vegan sausage at the usual store, $5.19 for the exact same brand at Walmart! Every item was like this- we found the same brands or something similar (organic/vegan) for $0.50-1.00 less across the board. It was shocking! I’ll be ordering from Walmart more often.

    This may sound strange but just use water when washing clothes. If there is grime or dirt spot treat. They will get clean. If you wear layers only wash the inner layer every time. Use baking soda for brushing teeth. Don't wear deodorant. Not good. It clogs up pours. If you smell wash up. Toothpaste expensive and bad for you especially the flouride. Buy presents ahead of time. Buy only when prices ridiculously low. Buy new stuff at Goodwill for cheap. Or new stuff at garage sale. Make your fancy meals at home. Play your favorite music. No tips to pay. Wait on each other. Go through your house and stop rebuying things you can't find. Use vinegar to clean or Dawn or generic Dawn for other stuff. Stop buying expensive cleaning supplies. Wash your car at home. That will save a ton of money. In between times use a spray bottle and a rags. It's quick and you don't have to drag the hose out and make a mess. Never buy new furniture. You don't need it and NO ONE CARES like you think they do. Ride your bike. Do push-ups. Don't go to the gym. That's just pride. You don't need mirrors. Keep your shirt on. Take walks. Play tennis. Don't waste money on stupid movies. Live YOUR life. Stop watching Actors and Actresses. All that will do is get you fantasizing. Love YOUR spouse. Love life. Help your neighbor. Yep, that neighbor. Read your King James Bible. Don't skip that one! Pray for people. Love people. Enjoy your life. Be frugal. But don't be afraid to give $50 or $100 or? to someone with a genuine need. It will come back to you I promise. Done many multiple times including vehicles I didn't need. Never had a lot of money. God is good. We need to be too.

    I have been gradually sharing what tips I’ve learned from your videos w my husband and he is willing to work w me to make some changes. So far: We’ve double checked all light bulbs to make sure they’re all LED,we’re experimenting with lowering the thermostat on our natural gas furnace to 69 in the evenings while we cover ourselves with warm throws and supplement w an oil filled radiator portable heater( has 3 settings up to 1500 W but i set it on setting #2 and it kept the LR at 70 degrees for the 3 hrs we normally have the temp at 72 before it is programmed to lower to 65 over night)I am getting back in the habit of making stews, 15 bean soup etc in the crockpot and I’m going to dust off some old family favorite recipes and freeze some meals. I also emptied my daddy’s refrigerator and unplugged it until we decide what we’re going to do with the travel trailer he lived in on our property these last 7 yrs( daddy is 88 and now lives in a Alzheimer’s unit near me.) It is a possibility we could rent it out if we need to. Daddy and I have also enjoyed gardening, vegetables and flowers, together until just this summer,when due to 100+ heat and his advancing mixed dementia , he couldn’t beh outside w me much😔. My next move is to “ take inventory of my freezers and pantry”😘 Keep the helpful advice coming. Thank you both!!! 8:46

    Bravio Larry! I'm not sure I could do without coffee! But we do need to be flexible in our consumption habits. One of the few food luxuries I was buying was an occasional gourmet bag of coffee. Due to the increasing prices, I decided I could no longer justify that so I've shopped around for less expensive brands that were still taste satisfying. And bought them in larger, more economical cans and froze half to keep it fresher longer. That way I can still enjoy my morning pot of coffee at less than half the cost of the gourmet stuff! And I don't feel deprived. 👍👍👍

    I really like your videos cause they can be extremely helpful to people who are not used to live frugal. I never realised that I am a frugal person, because so many tips you give I've learned from my parents and just adopt them. For stocking up my pantry I really buy a bulk when things are on sale. Most products can be stocked up for 1 or 2 or even more years. So when I get some flour (that costs o,99€ per kilo in normal times .... an now it's up to 1,99€) I really buy much more than I need in a month (because I bake bread myself I need around 4 kilos a month). Same with coffee or tea. Why not buy a years amount (that would be 12 packages for you). Is that hoarding? Maybe but in the end it's me who has to get through life with my kind of budget not someone else, right? This way whenever in the coming months stocked products are on sale again one has to buy less to hold an acceptable level of stocking. Of course this is difficult when you start by zero and you would have to spend a lot of money if you would do it for all products. But one always has to start somewhere like Hope said, one has to prioritise. But it's not only about buying .. it's also about stop doing things. For example: the last person of our family has to shower in the bathtub and collect the water - witch later on is used to flush the toilet. We don't buy shower gel but use soap bars instead - they last longer. We don't have paper towels any more. Instead of them we made "those" from old bed cloth and they will be washed (because it doesn't matter the washing machine has to be used anyway). Instead of using the vaccuum cleaner take a broom, instead of buying peeling cream for your face take used coffee grounds with a scant table spoon of oil. The hair normally doesn't need conditioner. But if you feel the need take apple vinegar. Don't buy bottled water try water from you tub (if your water is good where you live). When preparing meals you can always cut the recipe- for example if it says 500g of meat take 400 or 450, when it says heavy cream take milk instead and so on. Whenever you have something in your hand that normally would go into the trash ask yourself can I use it up? For example if you are used to put the green from your cauliflower into your composter - did you know that they can be eaten? Why not making a soup our of them? With some potatoes, onions, garlic .... it's very tasty.The same goes with the green from carrots- make pesto out of it. And have you ever realised how expensive cookies are? (I have to admit my family absolutely love a teatime with some cookie). But the main ingredient is sugar - so the best is to bake them yourself an freeze them in packages of 200g. Don't buy books lend them at your public library or maybe your local church comunity has a library too, like ours. Cut you social media time - man I can tell you that saves a lot of money. Instead of watching TV have a nice evening with you family and playing different games. Whenever possible lend items. Maybe you can have your neighbours lawn mower for cleaning his back yard . Think out of the box and be creative you will find new solutions how one can save.

They also had only one brand of tomato sauce I could not eat, because it had peppers in it. It also was overpriced. They had the worst selection of all the products I looked at of any stores in all the towns around where I live.

    About a year ago I went to our URM and found organic tomato paste for $.12 a can, What!!! so I bought 2 cases 96 cans. went to a Grocery outlet they had Ritz like crackers(tried them tasted the same to me) you wont believe how much $.33 a box five sleeves per box 12 boxes a case bought 4 that's like $3.98 each case. I can't tell you how many deals I have found I know I wouldn't believe it --- but true you just have to watch for deals. my wife used to say , why did you get so much stuff? but not any more.

I find that I just let the water run through the pod again for my second cup and it tastes fine. Try it with yours! make half and then run it though again. that can save you 50%!!!!

    I have always dated my bulk purchases. There are many ways to cut back on items. I dilute my laundry detergent with water and use much less than the manufacturer recommends and I have no problems. Same with my dawn. If I use my dishwasher I use a half teaspoon. Sometimes with my coffee I will reuse the grounds, add half as much fresh grounds and brew. You can always adjust for your personal taste. I've always been frugal. I have learned so much from you guys. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    I have had to totally change the way I meal plan and shop. If I’m counting on chicken breasts for a specific meal and they are not available then I have to change dinner one night and a second meal using up the leftovers. It is definitely not optimal but you gotta be flexible.

    Your comment about being flexible reminded me about a meal planning tip I learned recently that shocked me. I immediately thought I could NEVER do this! But, this person is feeding a family of 2 adults + 2 teens for $200/month in Florida, I think. She makes just one large supper option, one lunch option and one breakfast option per week to eat all week long!!😲 But, she is laser focussed on paying off debt. Everyone is well fed and heathy in her family, so if this works for her, then GOOD FOR HER for thinking outside the cultural norms that says you have to have variety every day in your meals. I was impressed and challenged by her determination. I can't take credit for this idea...it was from "Raising wildflowers" on KZread.♥️🇨🇦

    At the end of August, my fuel company will set your fuel at the current price if you pay for your fuel in advance, or if you pay a fee ( $65.00 ) your fuel cost would remain at the price that it was the day you paid for the program. The first month that I filled my tank, I more than paid for the cost of the fee! The money that I have saved just by taking advantage of that offer, through this winter ......... wait for it ......... more than paid for over 100 Gallons of fuel, and the money that I paid for the program! I will be taking advantage of their programs in the future!
