Greetings from London 🙏 May I add one another thing to your list? I empty my veg drawers out on Friday after work, and everything on its last legs, gets washed, chopped, and added to a pan of with a pint of water, 2 stock cubes, a chopped onion and souped up to be blitzed! Kids call it IFITS soup, if ITS in the fridge, it’s in the soup! And healthy too!

I wish I was more disciplined, I look at the veg and fruit and wonder how much I will throw away. I know, I know stupid huh?

My number one tip for people starting out is skip the fancy wedding and expensive diamond ring and use the money for a down payment on real estate.

I quit eating out too. I was amazed how much I saved.

Haha I love #24 eat less food. I started doing IF (intermittent fasting) I now eat only 2 meals a day

I do intermittent fasting periodically as well! For me it seems to help with my morning productivitiy...and of course it saves some money lol!

I pay $25 for a gym membership. It actually keeps me from spending extra money because when I get bored, I can always get up and go to the gym. They also have group exercise classes so I get my money's worth

Bringing your own lunch and drinks saves so much money. We only eat out on birthdays!

Rosalind, I'm Amish joined 1985. They save a ton on weddings. First thry don't wear jewelry so no rings to buy. The weddings are held n the church/meeting house the younger boys n girls decorate with wild flowers n homemade stuff. Every church/meeting house has a Bishop n 2 preachers n a Deacon. The Bishop marries the couple. The reception is y Usually held at locL firehall where most males volunteer. The cake is baked by the ladies of the church. They marry in their Sunday go to meeting clothes. Gifts are pragmatic useful items from a huge jug of laundry detergent to 6 day vol work on the bride n grooms farm or house or 2 calves 1 to butcher when a steer n 1 to sell so they can get 2 more calves n Apring. Cards n such r made at home. All this saves a crap load of money it gets everyone together In celebrating the wedding. It shows love all round. A lot of couples starting out could see a lot of money and their stress level would b so reduced. Maybe they could have an Amish themed wedding bringing people together. The most expensive wedding I attended cost$250 the other married men were ready to faint. How can he afford it they said. Another man said his wedding was $103 another $89 another $76. Anyway I think it's much better this way. The average modern wedding costs $35000 then a lot are divorced within 4 years. It makes no sence. An Amish themed wedding would b much more memorable n enjoyable. Weddings like Christmas n such has become so commercialized. And if they divorce the wedding planner wouldne even remember them as its all about money for them.

For laundry; powdered detergent will save money in the long run, I've been on the same bucket of Nellie's for about two years, all you need is a spoonful per load, there's water in the machine anyway so why pay for it in the detergent. And I agree on cold water except for underwears, things that touch the tush should be sanitized. That's what I separate from the rest and do a hot mini load. Also having a drying rack to save on using the dryer is a must, especially in the winter where the air is dry anyway. The best thing I did for my wallet is learn to cook great meals and tailor clothing, I'll thrift and adjust, and I'll stretch that grocery money for a long time.

Offer it up to God. He will use that sacrifice for helping other people when it comes to balancing this world.

The older i get, the less i care about people's opinions. Often in the country i live, items are not priced or incorrectly priced only for us to enter the cashier and see a prize we are not willing to spend for that particular thing. I simply put it back or have them put it back because prizing their items is not my job and neither will i be embarrased at who looks at me and think whatever they want. Yes...overeating is expensive. Microwaving is okey. Wasting food is bad. Great points, dear.

I'm a single mum who became a homeowner last year. It was a huge milestone for me!

Wow! Thank you so much for saying that! I was definitely blessed to be able to learn so much from both of my grandmothers!

I was amazed at some of the ‘frugal’ tips on here. I think they must be aimed at moneyed people, not people who are truly struggling! For instance, not eating out, cutting down on meat consumption, buying from second hand shops, cooking from scratch…..they are all the kind of thing struggling people already do as they do not have the money. We were married and bought our first house 43 years ago. aged 21 and only had items given to us to furnish house, and I made curtains. Times got harder when the financial crash made mortgage rates soar and we just had to use all our money on paying the mortgage so we wouldn’t lose the house. I only had clothes that were given to me or I bought in charity shops. Everything was made from scratch, the ends of soap were collected and grated wash clothes. We grew veg in the garden, went out walking or to library, museum etc (free entry) no food was wasted. Anything left over was used next day in soups, pies, curries etc. no clothes dryer, everything dried on outside line and finished off on a clothes horse inside. Heating wasn’t used unless it was frozen outside. More clothing and rugs to put over knees. Heat was never left on when we were out, and never over night. I’m aghast at how wasteful people are and what is considered ‘essential’ basically, if we didn’t have the money, we didn’t buy anything. There were days when we couldn’t eat.

Thanks for your comment! I would venture to say that anyone who is able to watch this video is someone who is "moneyed" or has some kind of income. And there are people who have extremely low incomes but still spend their money on frivolous wants and have very little left for their needs leading to constant utility shut offs, leans on their homes, credit card debt, etc. You made great choices with the little you had. There are people that don't know how to that instinctively and that's who this video is aimed at. Be blessed!

@@frugalcreativeliving yes, you’re right. There will always be people that can’t or won’t budget properly. Also, I am in the UK, and there might be different life expectations/lifestyle. I am proud of how my house was immaculate, as were my children. I knitted and made clothes. My Husband is a proud Man and would not have let anyone know we were struggling. People thought we were well off due to our high standards with little money. Home cooking from scratch is the biggest way to save money.

Great tips, I do most but good reminders. I think this is for everyone, even if you have $$$, it's good to be aware.

I actually like making meals at home.

I always keep.the heat between 64-66. We live in WI. Everyone wears 3 layers inc a fleece hoodie and slippers. Everyone is warm and cozy!

We are doing $100 eating out for all of the season of Lent! Cooking from home

I use fans and open windows during the summer. Close the faucet if no using water and dry clothes outside or hanger

Our public library also has family passes that can be borrowed for museums and historical places.

Eat less food is the top most advice, I used to suggest this to my sisters❤

Eat less food.. try fasting (alternate day fasting). You save $, get healthy and loose a little weight too. Sounds like a win win to me😊

Back when my boys were little, I learned how to do basic haircuts. Fast forward 30 years and I’m still cutting 2 of my “boys” hair and my husbands. I also trim my own and only get mine professionally cut maybe once a year or so. That has saved probably $1,000 or more I’ve the decades. 😅

1. Sanitize a 32oz mason jar. 2. Put a used, or new bar of soap, in your choice, in the mason jar. 3. Fill the mason jar up, shy of the rim, with distilled water. The soap will loosen over weeks time. This homemade body wash can be refilled with distilled water, untill soap no longer lathers. 4. You can mix two teaspoons of solid form of coconut oil (in the jar kind) and two drops of tea tree oil together, and add to mason jar of soap, in order to keep soap from fungus and bacteria. 5. Close jar, with your color choice of plastic mason Jar lids.

Here I am finally seeing the light on budgeting. I was raised by a single mom and I remember a few times our lights were cut off and sometimes our bare necessities weren’t met. Now here I am a single mom with no guidance besides online help to figure out how to budget properly. It is a process 😅 I’m 100% confident in my budgeting now. The easiest way I budget is separate everything into three categories. Income | Expenses | Total I do this for every single week and I’ve budgeted everything for the next 10 months. I plan on teaching my kids this technique. It’s the easiest way I’ve learned on my own. Thank you for this video! You are so helpful! ❤
