I had a tomato about to go bad so I chopped it up and put it into some spaghetti I made, and the other half of it my husband and I had a nice salad for lunch and used the rest of the tomato. And I got rid of my sam's club membership, if I need something I'll just have my daughter pick it up for me she still has her account
Very smart
I stopped shopping with friends for fun. My husband and I do not need clothing. We need shoes. We don't go shopping , we go buying what we need. Use extra savings for fuel. Also, just organized our 4 small freezers and are eating the older things. God bless.
I understand
I cut top of like hand cream in a tube, or toothpaste, and cut it down the middle. Sometimes I cut top and bottom off like toothpaste, on each side, there is enough toothpaste, or like hand cream, too get a few more uses out of it.😊
That's a great idea!
I can relate to not buying clothes..I "slurged " on socks from the Dollartree..nothing beats the feeling of soft clean socks.
so true
My folks used plain bread as hotdog buns,burger buns, sandwich,bread pudding, breadcrumbs, stuffing.
Growing up we had hamburgers in hot dog buns and hot dogs in hamburger buns. Whenever my mom needed to use up certain buns or bread. What I do, is feed those to my chickens if they get too stale
Hi, come over from Janice's channel, my best tip is put any leftovers or use me first items on the top shelf of your fridge or freezer and pantry and shop from those shelves first x
Great tip!
Welcome. Thank you for watching.
Yay!!! So, so very glad to see you over here with Dawn! 💕💕💕
I love to watch old Classic movies on TV , even if I have already seen them. 📺
Same here
I'm that way about old movies. I love to put on an old Christmas movie when I decorate or cook for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thanks for another cool video that seems to keep my attention.Ive only been watching a few days.almost a week.😎
Glad you like them!
Thank you sharing
You are so welcome
I don’t save random plastic containers. They tend to get lost in my frig. I did invest ($39 on Amazon) a bunch of glass storage containers for leftovers because then it can also go straight into the microwave or toaster oven. Easy peasy. And I don’t heat up things in plastic. 😬
I save glass containers and some plastic so I can send leftovers home with my son's family. I label it so there's no mystery containers.
@@3TXSisters
That I do too. I have those clear plastic Rubbermaid little containers with red tops. Those I use to send leftovers home with folks. Because I don’t care if I don’t get them back. My mom gave me homemade chili and put it in a country crock big margarine container and it ended up in the back of my frig for months ! Because we all thought it was margarine. I thought my husband bought it. Lol. When I dragged everything out it was green. My mom had put it in my frig when we weren’t home.
I like to time myself on how long it takes me to vacuum mop and etc it is fun and it keeps me motivated in my mind i think it will take longer than it actually does this gives me more time instead of procrastinating
I understand
We do not watch tv but my youngest daughter has severe autism and loves to watch her learning and singing videos on you tube so we pay monthly for you tube Premium. The fact that all three children have special needs, I purchase items on-line and get them delivered.
It's wonderful that you found programs for your child on UA-cam premium and are able to have home delivery. So much more convenient.
I also save more money by NOT going in to the store but trying to take just one of my three children is difficult because she gets so overwhelmed by all the people and lights and different noises and smells.@@3TXSisters
I am so fortunate I have a 49 yr. old adopted son and he put me on his youtube premium. He is so good to me.
I'm an autistic adult and really love UA-cam for my entertainment as well. There's lots of stuff on there. I pay for UA-cam Premium but don't pay for streaming or cable or any of that.
I don't pay for any streaming or cable either@@thegracklepeck
I came over from Ozark Family Homestead. Great ideas.
So, so, so very glad to see you over here on Dawn's channel!!! 💕😁💕😁
Welcome!
Thank you friend
Hey Dawn, noted you make great homemade yoghurt in your Slow Cooker. Would you be kind enough to give your recipe and instructions ? I love Greek yoghurt and would like to make it myself as I do have a slow cooker. Many thanks and warmest good wishes to you and yours. ❤😊
I posted it on my community tab
Have come over from Janice's channel. Irish single guy here but money saving tips are needed all across the world and can be adapted to suit all family sizes. Great video Dawn.
Awesome! Thank you!
Dawn's channel is a great place to stock up on money-saving tips! I know you're going to love it here! 😁
When washing just need a tablespoon or 2 for large load! I make my own pump soap ! I used make my own laundry deodorant I don’t need a lot a era big bottle a year with me and my hubby !
Brilliant
I just found out that putting coffee grounds in your yard will deter voles..I don't drink coffee. Maybe I can go to Starbucks for used coffee grounds
I love Ozark Family Homestead & finding new You Tubers to watch. Hi from Minnesota! 👋
Hi. I am from Woodbury, MN
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom I am from & still live WAY up north in Roseau 🙂
And Ozark Family Homestead loves you, Emily! 💕💕
I use washcloths and no more paper towels.
Buy what you like and need
Dawn, you can also use hamburger and hotdog buns for French toast, just flatten in the pan a bit. Make hot tuna melts in your oven with stale stuffed buns wrapped in foil. Bake for a while 350 deg
P.s this week I only threw out 1 bag of garbage. I use up my leftovers! 👍
Buns are great for garlic Bread too
You are so impressive Dawn!!! I so enjoy when you boost other channels. You are selfless.
Thank you so much!
Dawn I’ve stopped stock piling . I have one in use one in the cupboard .I don’t live in a volatile weather area.I Sometimes I think we stockpile because we love to spend money. I also hate greed .
Yep. We’ve been eating up our extra stores. We’ve stock piled too much over the last couple of years. 🤦🏼♀️
Good point!
I think this is a good idea. Only have one extra of an item. With just two people really don't need to stockpile so much.
Advice I heard in the 1970s (unfortunately don’t remember where): Stay out of the stores.
Dawn, I make zucchini lasagna in my crock pot. It doesn’t heat up my house and using zucchini versus pasta saves me calories 👍🏻 just slice them thin long wise. And it’s super yummy
Sounds great!
Hi MM! I have the same slow cooker as you and would love to see a yogurt recipe, as many others also requested today too.
Also, I thought of you recently when I caught a YT video of an older Lucille Ball being interviewed and taking QA from the live audience. Several times she told the interviewer to take his hands off the female audience members, protecting their personal space from the handsy host. Lucille didn't take guff and was quite stern, and definitely ahead of her time. ❤
Great idea!
I posted the video on my community tab
We recycle water from the washing machine to wash the backyard and collect Rain water for same purpose.
fantastic
Thank you, Dawn and I’ve decided to subscribe as we are a family of 3 adults living in a rural area and we live on 51/2 acres of heavily wooded land which my son hunts game when in season. God bless you for your channel and your willingness to share snippets of your family life. God bless you. 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁
I am so glad
can you please do some receipes in your slow cooker, yoghert and the bread things would be great....i love my slow cooker, thought about getting an instant pot, but dont really have the room and love my slow cooker especially being a 12 1/2hr night shift hospital worker, put the ingredients in the morning and meal cooked for when i wake up in the afternoon before i go to work again
Sure please email this to me
I posted the recipe on my community tab
When you mentioned lip balm, spices came to my mind for our small family- share the bigger packages so they don’t go stale. We share with Mum and one particular friend. Spices in the small containers are ridiculously expensive. This helps budgets a little bit and avoids waste.
so very true
Instapot and crockpot aren't comparable.
Dawn could you please teach us how to cook in the slow cooker,I have one but don’t know how to do yogurt etc it could be a great series of videos ❤❤❤and save me a fortune 🎉I think lots of your viewers would love it too😊
I posted a video on my community tab. Thanks much
these are great tips. Also, I will definitely check out Ozark Family Homestead channel. I wanted to ask would you consider doing a video on how you make your homemade yogurt. If you do not have the time I completely understand. Have a great day.
Great suggestion!
Our family would love to welcome you over to our channel! 😁💕😁💕
Love the rotating idea. I wear the same 4 blouses…..it is starting to show. I have a closet full of clothes that I don’t wear.
I hear you
I am from Ozark Family Homestead. Great tips !!! God bless !
Awesome! Thank you!
Melissa, it makes me so happy to see you over here!! I think you'll really enjoy Dawn's channel. 😁💕😁💕
Thank you Dawn!!
Thank you
I’m taking a lot of your money saving ideas, I have been able to save more money for intentional spending in the future. I like when you said you have the money, but you don’t need to spend it. What a good feeling of this freedom! Thank you Dawn! Love you ❤
Wonderful!I love you too
Hi dawn came over ftom Ozark family's channel thank you for sharing your money saving tips very helpful from Liverpool UK
Thanks for coming
We already watch Ozark Family Homestead.
Wonderful family.
Never see Dad say much other than catching a shot of him in the background working.
Mom goes about explaining things with there wonderful kids about the animals and garden.
This family has a heaven made on earth on how they live. You couldn't ask for better.
But there life style isn't for everyone...
Our family moved from Chicago out to the country in Kentucky. Much different lifestyle. But I love having a big garden and lots of fruit trees and chickens etc. But it’s not for everyone
I love them too
❤
Yay!! Thanks for the kind words! I'm so very glad to see you over here on Dawn's channel too! 💕💕
Came over from Ozark Family Channel. Love them, but there are only 2 of us.
I love them too. Hi there
Love your channel, came over from Ozark Family Homestead. We live in Dallas also!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Yay!!!! 💕💕 We're so glad to see you over here with Dawn!!! She's awesome! 😁
Great tips mom! I'm heading to fort worth this weekend to see my kids. When i pass by Dallas I'll wave at you!❤❤❤
Hi there 😊
Passing rockwall waving at you soon
Great channel I watch Ozark Family Homestead. Also Great channel
Awesome! Thank you!
Yes Sharon, Dawn's channel is a great place to be! 💕😁💕😁
So nice to meet you from Ozark Family. I have a family of four, myself and 3 girls. My oldest hands her clothes down to her youngest sister and the youngest sister hands her clothes down to her older twin. When they are too small for the older twin (She's only 5'2 and the oldest and youngest are 5'6") we have a family or two who have children who are a size or two smaller than the smallest daughter. We have 2-3 places here where we live that will allow you to come and get clothes for free so I have not bought new clothes for years (shoes are another story!) as I tell all friends and family to just give them clothes for birthdays and holidays.
So very glad to see you over here! Dawn has an awesome channel with all kinds of great info! 💕😁💕😁
@ozarkfamilyhomestead Thank you new friend
It's great that your girls can share clothes with their sister. How wonderful to have a place to get free clothing. That's a blessing! I'm glad you stopped by. 😊
@@3TXSistersI agree
I keep a couple of bags always, to put things that I'm going to donate I try to keep it going all the time. I'm like you I don't waste them any veg veggies these days, my main vegetables I buy are cabbage carrots leaf lettuce oh, they seem to last longer than some of the other veggies
Love that!
I'm a new subscriber coming from Ozark Family Homestead =)
Thanks for subbing! It is lovely to meet you
Hey there, Lily!!! It makes me happy to see you over here hanging out with Dawn! 💕💕💕
Dawn, I love all your money saving tips and positive philosophy on life. Listening to you has certainly made me more mindful of how I spend money and various ways to save. I've definitely had buyers remorse over many things and have been practicing your process of waiting days if I purchase at all, and find out, it's more satisfying to not buy on impulse so much. Also, like you said, I've found out I really didn't need many of those things. It really is empowering to know you have not wasted money and can put some money aside. For me, it has been saving for a new heating/air system. Those costly repairs have really added up and time for a new one. You are such a good speaker and I love how you present things in such an interesting way and in ways that I remember and can ask myself what would Dawn do or say!
You are so kind
I LOVE my instapot!
Ozark Family Homestead sent me your way!
Hi. Welcome. It is great to meet you.
Hi Christina! It makes me happy to see you over here on Money Mom's channel! 💕
Love Janice. Lovely family.
so do I
I love how you check your budget to ensure it's working for your family. Having a designated day to declutter is so useful. Good way to keep the clutter under control and tohelp others by donating to charities. We are simply buying less. I'm eating less and cutting out snack foods that are more expensive. I'm shopping my closet even for special occasions. I have a bridal shower coming up for my granddaughter and found an outfit that my Texas family hasn't seen. I've worn it several times but it'll be new to them. Meal planning has eliminated most of our food waste. We've been able to keep our temperature higher on the new air conditioning unit and remain comfortable. As it's more energy efficient, we're saving on the electric bill. Remaining debt free helps to save. Great video, as always. Love to all, Linda 💕
I really need to do this more often
I have one black dress and I’ve worn it to several funerals and weddings by changing up the jewelry or a neck scarf or cardigan over it. Easy peasy
You would be surprised what people DONT remember others wearing. I gave my wedding dress to my sister in law to wear at her wedding just 2 years after mine. She got a different head piece but that was it. And nobody knew. Everyone said, “oh what a lovely dress !” And my aunt who ironed the bottom at my wedding did the same for my sis in law and she didn’t even realize it was the same dress lol
It’s 98 here in Flordia we have our air 80 or 81 our air is 15 years old! We just move in this home! My husband has washed out unit down 2 times all ready and checks if needs Freon! This fall or winter he’s putting in a new unit a 2 stage air will save more
When I moved all of the time I did this when I packed and unpacked. Now that I have been in the same place for 24 yrs. it is getting out of hand.
Janice sent me over. Hi from New Zealand 🇬🇸 xxxxx😊
Hi dear friend
Hi Clare!!! So excited to see you over here on Dawn's channel! 💕
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead xxxxx
Sadly, I do feel you pain on lip balm! I cleaned out my stash of personal products and found out body lotion and creams can separate if you do not use them.. Great tips! Thank you!
It nice to have both slow cooker and a instant pop pressure cooker are great
Even a pressure cooker you put on a stove are nice they are different than slow cookers
Thanks for the tips!
These are great tips. Thank you for another video Dawn. I decided this month that I'm mostly paying for things with cash instead of cards. I've found so far that this is much better for me. Unfortunately, I did go clothing shopping at a thrift store, I noticed some prices are going down or are lower, and I purchased a few things. The good thing is I paid with cash and actually saved money. I gave myself a budget. I guess my weakness is that since I have a smaller closet and wardrobe, I think I need more even though I know I don't. Also, I'm an outfit repeater anyway. And I like shopping for clothes and really nothing else. But, I already used my budget and don't plan on going anymore for the month.
Thank you friend
My worst enemy is buying kitchen small appliances, gadgets etc. Starting a sour dough starter got all the equipment when you can make it with things you already have in your kitchen.
I’d like your slow cooker recipe for yogurt please.
I do have it on my channel
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom thanks I’ll look for it
@@bethbeckermeyer1732I posted it on my community tab
I waited on an item on QVC the other day. I called my daughter
-in-law to see fi she wanted to split the set, BUT when I went back to order it…it was gone! 😢
Oh no
Pls show us how you make home made yogurt in the Slow cooker
here you go: ua-cam.com/video/0jDBT_C1y4I/v-deo.html
Well done dawn ❤❤
Yoghurt recipe please
Hi . I do have it on my channel
I posted on.my community tab
we cancel our amazon membership as the monthly fee isn't worth it. then when we want something off amazon they give a week trial for 1.99 then cancel again and wait
I don't really drive much so we calculate our Amazon expense as being time saved that my husband would otherwise have to take me around looking for items (and I do compare with other online stores) as well as gas money saved
It's 87 in Minnesota today Aug 3rd.
I miss MN
I think it’s smart to wait to buy things. Making sure you really want something or need it before buying. I’m saving a ton of money right now by doing my own landscaping project. I took out fifteen feet of sidewalk myself. With a pry bar and a small sledge hammer.
Dawn,if you freeze lip balm and candles,they last longer.
Just a tip
Thank you
Long time viewer here. We had an instant pot and regretted it and if one has time slow cooker is better, cheaper and easier to maintain. My humble opinion only
Thank you for your thoughts on this
Would love to know how to make homemade yogurt.
I do have a video on this
@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom ok I will do a search, I have never seen it.
Great video Dawn! Your cleaning system is fantastic! I love how organized you are!
Thanks so much! 😊
❤❤❤❤
I would love to learn how to make homemade yogurt in the slow cooker! Would you please make a video of that and teach us?
I put it on my community tab
Yard sales can be a great thing for good prices unless it gets to be an addiction like it did for me.
I'd love to have a copy of your decluttering info please.
I’m new to your channel
Hi dear friend.
I know over the years you have saved several sizes of your clothes which is good since you’ve been losing weight 💪🏻
But I would get rid of the clothes that are too big now ! Don’t hang onto them “in case”. That helps with not gaining weight. It works for me. Because I don’t want to buy bigger clothes , nor do I have the money to do that. 😅
Amen for air conditioning.... Yes my ex wife got a eye affection for using old mascara Maybe there should be an expiration date on makeup not that I wear. Of worse, it's not my cup of tea, but there should be I really like watching your videos ...your for real no fake here love ya
I hope your wife is okay
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom x
you would be surprise how must you save by sewing even simple sewing
I know you are right
😁
I save on my sewage by not flushing when I pee....It goes like this: When it is yellow let it mellow n when it is brown let it drown....
I also dont use the AC or Heat which saves on my bill for electricity n on my heating bill....
I save on my food bill by not letting it get freezer burned...How? By using my food saver.....which doesn't cost very much...where can u buy it from? From Costco or Amazon...it normally costs around $100.00 dollars....
And another way I save while shopping at the grocery store.....I use a grocery list....n it saves me around 25 to 35 percent.....😊
Just out of curiosity, what part of Minnesota are you from?
