Something I started doing a few months ago: Every time I *want* to buy something but end up *not* purchasing it, I take that exact same amount of money and transfer it to my savings! I was ready to part with the money anyway, so I just give it to my future self instead :)

"Shop first from your home. It's free, u already own it" 😂 My gosh, I love this! I'm writing it out now as inspiration for my low buy January 💞

There was a juicer I wanted for years, but I could not justify the expense. I was thrilled when I saw it at a church sale, the price $5 new in the box. I got it home, opened the box and pulled it out. Though easy to use, after use clean up was a nightmare. I’m not mechanical at all. I mean, I still turn the door knob the wrong way most of the time. 🤦‍♀️ let’s just say it found a new home. But, it was a $5 well spent as it taught me a valuable lesson and I no longer “wanted it.”

My dr actually told me instead of a gym membership i could do simple stuff at home like using can goods as "dumbbells" for strength training, walking up/down stairs intentionally for cardio, lifting larger items bending at the knees for squats.

Such good tips! You’ll enjoy this story, Sarah. Just today, I went shopping and saw 50% off signs everywhere in one particular store. At one point, I had numerous Christmas bags, boxes, and bows in my cart to purchase, store, and save for next year. Thankfully, the store was busy and I had to wait in line which gave me time to think. I reminded myself I don’t buy many gifts to start with, I just tried using up all the wrapping/bags I already had (I STILL have some…🙃) and I’m certain there will be 50% off sales next year too. I’m so glad I decided not to buy all that stuff. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas! ❤🎄❤

Love to hear more people talking about high yield savings accounts that I didn’t know anything about until the last 4-5mo…. Really wish I had know about those when we had 30k in savings before our sons headed to colleges. We missed out on a chunk of a return letting it sit in our safe or our local bank accounts with

6 is so true. I read the comments of one video promoting air fryers & one woman was buying her 3 air fryers & a frying pan that was promoted. The couple were family oriented & people felt comfortable & trusted them. I became disenchanted when they advocated a certain diet, promoting it a a cure & was giving wrong information that if followed could be dangerous.

I've been wrestling with whether to purchase a steam mop to "make cleaning my floors easier," but I just can't bring myself to do it. I dread finding out that it's just not worth the trouble of using it and having one more thing to store.

I keep seeing advertisements on the tv for a meal you want delivered. I think they send you the exact amount of ingredients for said dish you want to prepare along with the recipe on how to put together all the ingredients that were sent to you.

Hey, im new to your channel. I absolutely love it. We do have a problem. My husband gets SS but he's still working. He got a letter telling him that they overpaid him $6,000 for last year. He has 30 days to pay it back. He talk to them about it. They'll be taking a big chunk out a month. Its going to hurt for a very long time. Im worried sick. We're buying our house. My husband is a mechanic. He has tools debt. Its not that bad. I think the pay off is around $500. He buys what he needs. I dont know what to do. Its really overwhelming. We dont have any tv subscriptions. Please help. ❤
