During the 2008- 2009 recession when gas prices were high we did a 'no go day'. We did whatever the kids wanted, as long as it was at home. We went nowhere, spent no money out, no gas. We built forts inside and out, wrote and performed plays, cooked together, etc.
I love that! Often when creativity comes out!
Those will be lifelong memories too❤️
I’m in England and line dry my clothes...,free 😂😂
I've just written the same, before I read your comment.
I'm in Scotland. Too much rain 🌧
@@janeyd5280 why not just dry inside on a rack?
@@VelvetyMoon yes I have to do that.
Americans wouldn't even dream of a washing line. Our normal living is beyond their frugal living. Its amazing how much power they use to cool and heat their houses average size 2800sq ft. and shopping centres, their cars are huge and inefficient, their meals and supermarkets prepared food huge portions, their whole way of life is about convenience and that's expensive.
Another tip regarding your dryer that doesn't save you money immediately as such, but can save you a huge bill and possible your life: Always empty the lint trap after every cycle. Letting is accumulate means the dryer has to work harder to push through the clogged filter, plus an overfilled lint trap is a significant fire hazard.
Yes!! That is a must!!
As a massage therapist- I have LOTS of laundry!!
Line-dry at all times & finish off in dryer.
BEST TIP EVER - put a DRY towel in with dryer load .. it HALVES the drying time!!🙏 HA! You just said it..😁👍👍👍
Yesss!! Awesome tip!! Thanks for watching!
I dry all my clothes under sun
I love the smell of sun left on the clothes!
I live in Ga. and the sun doesn't help with any smell and the clothes are stiff as a board.
One addition tip is if you have a bank of america credit card or bank account with a debit card, in the first weekend of the month, they let you go into various museums for free. They have a whole entire list online of what museums qualify
Oh wow!! I didn't know that! So cool!
I watched a lot of these and finally gave up because they were always the same content over and over again but yours is actually different and it’s awesome!👍
Thank you so much, Sarah! I put a lot of time and research into my videos!!
Set washers and dryers to dry at night when the electricity is cheap. Plan to stock up once a month when you see it on sale Only stock up on things that last. Mend and alter your clothes rather than buying new.
Awesome tips!!
Two simple rules in my life that save me a huge amount of cash. Rule One, NEVER WASTE MONEY. Rule Two, NEVER FORGET RULE ONE.
Don’t use a dryer. Always hang to dry.
Yes!! Love saving money. Little bits add up BIG over time.
For all the pet parents: making some of the food for your dog is really cheap: 1 part carbs, 1 part protein, 1 part greens. I have a container on the freezer for my dog: green leftovers go in there, chicken carcasses, meat trimmings. When I have enough I boil all the greens and meats, run them through the blender with a can of sardines and add to a portion of rice or polenta. My dog loves stinky food, sardines are his favorite. Then I freeze in portions: half the homemade goo, half dog food. He loves gnawing at it frozen.
That's an awesome tip! Thank you for watching!!
You’ll save a lot if you hang your clothes. The dryer is a huge electricity cost. We don’t use them in Australia
Yes, that is a great way to save money!
In Brazil also. Dryers are extremely rare here. Everybody has a clothes line or a lifting rack around here, even in small apartments.
I used to use clothes lines all the time in Idaho. It daves doubly in the summer... By keep the heat out and by drying on the line.
Heres one for you... Tie dye your tees when they get stained. Buy black dye to refresh your black jeans.
Use a pump for shampoos and conditioners. You wont over use.
What about laundromats?
You're wiser than your years. I'm impressed that you know all of this at what looks like such a young age. Your parents must have taught you well!
Meal planning is key! We like to pick 7 meals but not assign them to specific days. That way, if we’re not feeling like burgers that night, we can pick one of the other options.
We never had much success with meal prep because it would take 6+ hours on a Sunday which is next to impossible with 3 kids, and we also don’t have the fridge/freezer space for it.
Love buying generic. I disagree that it’s the same, but it’s rarely different enough to warrant the extra cost. Sometimes it’s better, like Dr Thunder compared to Dr Pepper
Another way to meal prep is to double what you are already making and freeze half. After 15 days you will have a stockpile of 15 dinners.🌈🌈
@@maureenbullis1805 good idea. We like to double the recipe but we instead use it for lunch the next day. It keeps us from eating out since we’re normally in a hurry for lunch. We don’t have the fridge/freezer space to store 15 days of dinners.
Ok 👍 but I save by only eating when I am hungry and stop when I feel satisfied. Wait 20mins after eating to see if I need any more saves heaps. Can always freeze leftovers. Gone are the days of eating everything on your plate. Always leave something on your plate that you can use in next meal. Portion control
The best thing I have done is look at what I can pay annually. I did that this month saved on my planet fitness and Spotify.
In Australia if you pay house rates and insurance annually you save hundreds of dollars. Most people are paying them quarterly or monthly this way they add on interest and other fees so it is not cost effective. I went without my wants untill I set up yearly payments for all my bills except utilities as they are pay as you use items. I did struggle but it was truly worth it
I only get a hair cut once a year and I cut my husband's hair every month
Don't use a dryer. Line dry on good days, hang clothes indoors on wet days. On cold days place them under the heater vents.
I noticed that a certain mega supermarket throws a yellow tag on an item, puts it one clearance shelf, but it's the regular price. If there is no "was" price then it is actually not discounted.
Very true! That is a big way that marketers trick you into buying!
Yep Walmart
Shop Monday and Tuesday morning for mark down meat sale. Found 50 cent per pound hamburger last week. Always hit and miss, but worth a 5 min. walk through. 2 weeks ago saved $40 on chicken.
The times and days vary by location, so everyone has to check theirs.
I’ve never heard of 80% of these tips, my jaw dropped 🥴 saving money is more important than ever and if i have to put in extra work to SAVE my money then i’m more than happy to🙌🏼
So true! You got this, Tori!! 🙌
I started using the towel and dryer ball tip you mentioned in a video a while back. It's made such a difference for our laundry times, especially sheets.
Yay! I'm so glad you used this tip, Katrina! Its a game changer!
Wow i watched this video at a good time. I get my third paycheck here in a few days and i just remembered i need some items from the store and i don't even have a grocery list started. I will get started on that while i finish watching the video. Thank you for talking about grocery lists. You just saved me. Normally i do lists but this time i am behind and not on top of things.
Another tip is to not spend money at all....or to see how long you can go without spending money at all....or save your five dollar bills n save your change...or save your 1 dollar bills or save your 10 dollar bills...
Great tips. Glad I watched this video..
Also use a surge protector to plug in items and turn it off when you go to bed.. Save on electric bill..
A tip that help me to get my car cheaper. Get a diagnosis test before you buy the car.. It would have close $600 to get the car fix. Took that info back to the dealership and gave me an additional $1000 off the car..
One last tip don't go to the grocery store when your hungry..
Keep up the great videos and have a blessed day..
Dont use a dryer. Go on keto diet and eat only once or twice a day. Forget the gym and do it at home or outside ;)
Great tips!! Thank you for watching!!
For the whole month,i havent use my dryer.
Love these tips. Little changes add up to HUGE savings. Yahoo! 🤑🍀🌈💚
Can’t wait to watch this! Thanks for sharing!! I’m on a financial journey currently!
You got this, Kelsey!!
I love the smell of line dried clothes plus knowing the fact that I’ve saved so much money. And if you don’t like the stiffness of your line dried towels or jeans just pop them in the dryer for a couple minutes after they’re dried outside.
Love this! How long does it typically take for them to dry on the clothes line?
@@freedominabudget depends on how hot and windy the day is.
So I’m new on this topic, I figured better late than never right! Anyway, does drying your clothes out in the sun saves on electricity even when the dryer is still plugged in? 🤷🏻♀️
Genius. Your first tip is pure gold!
Glad it was helpful!
Meal prepping is also prepping the loss leaders and sale meat from the week by adding seasonings and cutting off fat. Double bag it and freeze in portions. Now you have the meat department
Yessss!! Love this tip!!
I like flavored sparkling waters.i get them at my local dollar general for 80 cents each.one liter bottles.that is the cheapest i have found them in my.area.
Great list, thank you
Save more money by not using a dryer in the first place - hang them up outside or on an airer.
Buy meat on sale and plan meal around that. Save leftovers in freezer and make soup.
Very good tips. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! :)
Good tips and some were ones I had not heard.
That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching!!
I found you because Budget girl!! I love her! I enjoyed your video!! 🤗🤗🤗
Hi!! Thank you so much for coming over to my channel! I really appreciate it!
Wow on a full loud of laundry for the dryer time it only takes about 20 to 30 minutes for my clothes to dry and i still use dryer sheets. Also a way i found saving money is to reuse those dryer sheets. Don't throw away dryer sheets or don't waste dryer sheets like that. Reuse them and i promise you your clothes are going to be fine.
Do you reuse them as is or do you dampen them down?
I haven’t used dryer sheets in over a decade and with the exception of a couple blankets I have, I never notice any static cling and really don’t understand why people use them 🤷🏻♀️ I just did it because I thought I was supposed to. Turns out they’re usually toxic anyhow, almost all of them.
Cheryl T. I just reuse them as is. I find that my box of dryer sheets lasts me longer. I use one dryer sheet for loads of laundry and then after the dryer gets done from the first load then i find the dryer sheet and i put it back into the dryer for my second load. I pick one day out of the week where i wash everything that needs to be done and most of the time it comes out to being two loads of laundry. Washing clothes, i also don't use the full amount of soap per load either. That is basically how i do laundry and have clean clothes and clean items but at the same time i am saving a little bit of money.
@@mckenzieholstine9391 Thank you!
Cheryl T. Your welcome.
Tip # 66 for saving your money, learn to fix things yourself and save a fortune.
I am already been doing everything you said here..I wish you live my next door I love to be your friend.you and I going to get along so well lol... great tips thank you..
Awe thank you so much, Kim!!
What a nice comment 😊😊😊😊
That blouse you're wearing is beautiful ❤️❤️
Thank you! It's from Cracker Barrell! My husband picked it out because it was my brand colors!
Love the tips and learned so many new things! I'll have to try the towel in the dryer...my loads always take TWO full drying cycles to dry. But that may be because I dry everything on low to avoid things from shrinking. I have tried growing my own veggies, but unfortunately I have a black thumb :( You also reminded me that I need to get my tires reinflated...the low pressure light has been on for awhile and when I leave it, tires will go flat without knowing there is another low tire with a bigger problem!
Hi! For your safety, please check to see if your dryer vent/hose needs to be cleaned out. When I had to run the dryer twice on a load, it turned out the reason was excess lint in the vent. Best regards!
It would save a lot of money if clothes are not dried in a tumble dryer. If the weather is nice my clothes are always put outside to dry either on a line or a clothes airer. In the winter or when it's raining my clothes are dried indoors on a clothes airer near a radiator. I do use my dryer to just finish things off and to save ironing because my back aches when I stand for too long.
Awesome tip! Thank you for watching!
Dryer
@@robinmeier6048Thank you, now edited.xx
You should always take things out the pantry to use.
stop using the dryer. In Japan we dry outdoors or indoors in bad weather. Use a dehumidifier for room drying. Much less electricity😊
Good tips
Any suggestions how to save money glitter free meal
I like using Walmart Grocery pickup but I really don't like instacart!
Instacart is so bad! They would bring me rotting items on a regular basis. They forgot multiple items either in their car or who knows where.. each and every time I reported it because this is my hard earned money. I don’t pay for items I have to throw in the garbage or for items I didn’t receive. They emailed me and told me I can no longer receive any refunds or credits! But I can still use their crappy service lol no thanks... I asked them how this was my fault and their response was it’s their policy that after some certain amount of complaints you now have to suffer in silence basically lol I’ll save the $$ and constant headache and do pickup.
@@VelvetyMoon They also charge so much extra money for the groceries and money just to do a pickup order as well.
Ok throw your dryer out. Saves you electric costs. If raining dry on airing rack inside where it's warm . Do 3 monthly shops saves times and fuel. Wear and tear on vehicle. Grocery shop online it stops you doing impulse buying on things you don't need. Grow your own food. Harvest water saves on purchased water. Grated fruit and veg goes further. Freezing excess stops waste. Revamp clothes no longer worn, old t-shirt can be cut and sewn into nickers. Etc
What do you mean 1 hour to dry clothes my dryer dries good a full load for 25 minutes
Great way
Thank you for watching!!
How about just don't use a dryer?
It wont work if it rains for 10 months and very humid after the rain.
Fans cool people not rooms. It doesn't store up & cool down like air conditioning.
I don't agree with that, if I leave a ceiling fan on in a room and walk in I can feel a difference in the temperature.
I collect frugals.
Love these tips! I recently got a pack of 6 dryer balls, but I started noticing they were leaving all of our clothes/towels/blankets with EXTREME static! It got to the point where I stopped using them all together :( Do you have this problem with yours?
oh no! i use wool dryer balls and have never had this problem. what kind are yours?
Try just using 2!
I read that attaching a safety pin to the ball cuts static. I have not tried this but it is worth trying
For anyone reading this now- I had the same problem but then realized I was over drying my clothes. When I cut back on drying time my clothes were still dry and had no static.
Americans and theirs dryers, lol
Haha us Americans are all about convenience!! What country do you live in?
@@freedominabudget I'm from Brazil
I would hate to waste money on a dryer.I live in Australia with good weather.I put clothes on line and walk away.So easy.Always laugh at American home finding shows.Without a dryer they wail like the world has ended.
i dont know about others but maybe start the video with something more practical instead of a 4 minute tangent about dryers. Just dont get one or sell the existing one and you will save a ton more, you don't need it.
Thank you for watching! :)
I'd like to know how much money you save by not using your dryer. Seems like too much work 😕 for this lady
Savings depend on where u live + yr electricity rates! But even if u hang some things outside on the line or indoors on airers; u will still save money. Do what works for u! When my back pain is really bad I give myself permission to use my dryer.
Little Miss Susie Home Maker.... 🍎
Haha Thank you so much!!
That was an Oooo Weee
Tip no. 51 don't buy a sticker to ruïne your beautiful mug 😜🥴saves you $4💶💶
I hate having a library card. Every time i check out a book, it never fails but i always forget to return it and then the next thing i know is that i am having to pay the library for having the book way to long. Just imagine having 4 books out and each one cost 50 cents and you don't return them on time. That is me. That adds up. That is money coming out of my bank account or just out of my wallet.
My library has audiobooks and they return themselves. Best thing ever. I listen while I’m home and can multitask.
You can reborrow your books as well online. Have a reminder on your mobile phone or diary etc. When books are due.🙋♀️
Buy books on clearance or from the Goodwill.
No offense. but the sites just track your spending and entice you to spend more which most people will then do.
What sites are you referring to?
@@freedominabudget the money back sites you refer to in in video and others that are more in your video. I have to spend $1000.00 to earn $1.00. Duh
who the fuck really only shops at the grocery store once a week..?

Take a breath! it does make a difference... whew
Dear Kelly Anne , I like ýour vlog, but did you ever realize how fast you talk?
🤪🤔😒
#1 I've done this and #2 all my life. #3 that's a good one #4 do this too #5 do this too #6 this too
This channel is nothing new waste of time.
Young people might listen more to someone closer to their age. My son was like that he didn't believe me,but listened to other people
