    Dana, great tips and well done. Love your red tool box - I got one too! Was eating at Subways sometimes 3 times a week. Found I can easily replicate the experience at home with the right ingredients for I'm sure half the price. Great to see you and thanks for doing this! Pete

    I have had my yeti travel mug for 4 years, it has saved me so much since making coffee at home is much cheaper.

    Hi friend such good tips. I buy LED bulbs at Dollar Tree. Just bought more this week. I too love my crockpot so much and use it all the time. I found my calphalon cookware at the thrift stores little by little. We have a Senior Center here with a nice pool and weight room for 50+ and they have classes too. You just have to make yourself get up and go! It's $50 per year.

      Hellooo Candis, its great to see you!! Thats a great tip, i'll have to pick up LED lights from The Dollar Tree next time i need some! We are both super thrifters, sounds like you picked up some great cookware from the thrifts...there are so many useful items to be found, just takes some patience. I love your senior center! Such an amazing deal, its so important for us over 50 to stay active. Thanks soooo much for sharing your frugal buys, my friend, i really appreciate you!! 🥰❤️

    I love my glass containers too. I got mine from TK Maxx and like you, I prefer them to minimise endocrine disruptors from plastics 😀

    That coffee thermos reminds me of an old Garfield comic where John told Garfield he should limit his coffee. Garfield goes "OK just one more cup" and then pulls out what appears to be a giant gallon cup.

    These are great tips. I do disagree with #5 -- LED bulbs. I treat myself by using old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. I have what I hope is a lifetime supply squirreled away because, sadly, these bulbs can no longer be purchased. For me, it's the quality of the light that makes a huge difference. I find LED lights to be cold and blue, no matter the Kelvin rating.

    • @danafindwell
      @danafindwell  2 дні тому

      Hi Elizabeth! I totally get that, incandescents have a lovely glow, maybe one day LEDs will get closer! Have you tried the warmer colored ones? Sometimes they are a bit too yellow for me. Thanks soooo much for watching and your wonderful comment, i really appreciate you!! 🥰❤️🌸

    I was at 🎯🎯🎯 recently, I debated whether to get a box of mason jars. I have noticed that I’m utilizing Tupperware’s more, but some food stains the plastic.
    Your idea of using mason jars as cups is a great idea 💡
    🩵💙🤍

    • @danafindwell

      Yep, mason jars are great, you can use them in so many different ways! Thank you soooo much for watching and commenting Kokomo, i really appreciate you!! 😊

    • @cariocajin
      @cariocajin 2 дні тому

      I agree with you also. I use mason jars too. I replace the lids sometimes when it gets a little rusty, but it takes a long time. Replacing just the lids is more cost effective.
