I used to spend over $150 a month on my hair pre-pandemic because I have short hair. Spent a lot of time watching my hairdresser cut and style my hair over the years. Well…..I started cutting my hair during the pandemic and buying my hair dye at the dollar tree (which is amazing!). I’ve been spending $1.50 a month for almost 4 years!!!! My hair looks exactly like it did when a professional was doing it. Have saved a ton of $$$$$.

I'm with you! I've been dying my own hair for years on the cheap. When I started getting gray around the edges, my home treatment didn't really cover it properly. I thought "It's okay because I'm saving so much money." But then, I had a special occasion come up and decided to go get my hair dyed professionally. BAD mistake! Not only was my gray hair not covered, but it turned out a copper color while the rest of my hair was brown! It looked awful and cost over $150! I could have done this myself and saved $120. Never Again!😞

It seems every store I go to wants you to "round up" for something. I went into Goodwill the other day and they asked if I wanted to round up. I asked what I'd be rounding up for. They said for their mission. Aren't all your payments for their mission? I did not round up. Another one that gets me is when you go somewhere, order at the counter, wait for your food or drink and they have a tip option on your ticket or tip jar. No! I'm not going to tip you. I did not get any extra service. There are getting to be fewer and fewer places I shop. I guess that means I have more money in my pocket.

Not disagreeing, but just a note - EVERYTHING is more expensive, so the electricity and utilities the thrift shop has to pay is more expensive, the insurance for the building & property, workers comp insurance, fuel & insurance for whatever trucks or vehicles they use, sign permits, nearly everything, has gone up for them also. I'm not sure how they pay their staff, but they may be paying more in minimum wages, too. It all adds up, so they recoup the costs through their sales.

I love the white columns that lead to the living room! I know that you want to get rid of them, but they add so much character to your home! Just think about how much money you could save if you left them as is! I also love your wood paneled ceiling! It really "warms up the house". I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Women learned how to file their own nails and they "set their hair" at home. The only women who went to the beauty parlor were little old ladies with purple hair. Then the 70's came and we discovered the blow dryer. That was a game changer. And then we learned how to use curling irons in the late 70's. I don't understand all of these young women getting all of these things done. A lot of what they do looks cheap and trashy. Sorry, if I offended any of you ladies, out there. My parents also made their own coffee. Everyone did. All of these restaurants and drive through coffee shops didn't even exist.

Have you looked up Goodwill online? If what I see is true, they are a franchise. I'm not convinced that they are a true charity. There is 1 in my area and the owner/ CEO earns $500,000. His wife is also earning $500,000 in some capacity at their Goodwill franchise. They may believe this justifies the price increases

I'm so lucky to have a small town movie house. It's run by volunteers. It cost 6.00 and you can buy a movie box for 2.50. Small pop ( it's actually pretty medium), a small bag of popcorn , and a mini candy bar for the show. It's a great Sunday day at 2 pm time out.

My little town has a church thrift store and the prices have gone up a bit, but the reason is, they are also the food bank and buy the food for it. Since groceries went up, they had no choice but raise the prices and all who work there are volunteers. So it is all community run. My little town has about 850 people.

I called a bunch of salons in my neighborhood, for a price quote on a haircut (got tired of long hair and wanted a pixie cut), and they all quoted me $150, for just a simple pixie cut. So, I called a barbershop, thinking they would be cheaper, and they also quoted me $150, but was willing to add a wash and blow-dry for that price, which was an extra cost at the salons. So I bought myself a Flowbee for $150. One haircut and it has paid for itself. Every haircut, from this point on, is now free.

This channel has given me numerous ideas for saving and helps motivate me to look for more savings everywhere. I am 73 y.o. swf. What I did in March 2024: Sold my 2nd car to save on insurance, registration, maintenance, smog check every 2 years. Cancelled cable; internet only now. Library charges 50 cent for used DVDs. Cancelled P.O. Box ($216 per year for a small box). We have a lot of mail theft in semi rural area. Now I have mail sent to my sister's house (her mailbox is in her door-- so mail goes in the house). Switching back to Mr. Coffee drip coffee at 5 to 7 cents a cup instead of Keurig at 30-70 cents cup. Fast Food only if I have a gift card or coupon. Switched savings account to a 10 month CD paying 5.05% at my Mom's Bank. Starting to recycle cans and bottles!

So, they end up buying what they already own 2 of, until they misplace it again. This repeats for lots of things - ranging from tools to cosmetics. Why do people keep garages? It's not for cars.

I don't usually use it for movies or music, since there is plenty of other free sources for that kind of stuff, but it's great for ebooks and audiobooks.

Those who do not know how to appreciate what they already have will continue to long for more and more material things and entertainments and still not be satisfied for very long with each new acquisition and new expense. True wealth is mastering the art of being content with what you already have and choosing to not spend much on daily living. If you have just enough food, an inexpensive and safe place to live, are healthy, have at least one friend and have something meaningful to do with your time, you are already wealthy in what matters the most. Building more and more debt in pursuit of more material goods and more entertaining experiences cannot produce lasting contentment. Teaching yourself to appreciate the frugal basics that you already have can bring contentment and help get you out of debt and help you stay out of debt. If you build wealth by curbing your spending and by living frugally, you can grow a financial safety net for hard times.
