I didn’t replace my stay-in helper/nanny after she left in December and I managed for a while but Shu it got heavy on me effort and time wise. After 4 months I got one that comes just once a week, still a saving!
I’ve been surviving almost 7 months but I’m realising that it’s not worth the time and effort. I think even once every 2 weeks would make a big difference
I agree on the takeaways part, it’s so easy to get carried away - but one can argue that for a person living alone vs buying groceries that end up going off 😢
Let me tell that when I lived alone in my first year of working, I substituted groceries for Takeaways and it really worked out to be cheaper cause I would be a large pizza and eat it for like 3 days - very unhealthy but it was not a financial strain. I think it depends on your taste and palette hey, if you keep it simple, then it can work out nyani.
I tried to think what I no longer spend money on but I'm so frugal in my day to day, I could find anything but you list is a good reminder that im on the right track 😊
I watched this during the week I see I didn't leave a comment smh. The makeup part stood out for me lol We have cut out cleaning help for years but now I feel like we need to hire help because wow
I have also cut down on takeaways. Another thing is buying food at our canteen and I must say the price increases contributed to me carrying my lunch, yoh the prices are now insane😢. Yes please do a video of what you don’t mind spending money on.
The canteen is a trap, honestly, and I feel like they can price however they like it because there is little to no competition and they know that you have to buy from there.
I'm not really into takeaways I take lunchbox. I'm very chilled. Accessories I like stud earnings those ones I take care of them, hoops I lose them. I bought lovisa hoops I noticed I look after them more than when I used less money
I feel you, I think having a helper is a recurring theme here and like I said I am also not sure that not having any help is worth the coins I save. Just feels like I lose way too much time.
Yho I relate so much to this video Andiswa. My make up consists of lipstick and eyeliner, I deleted my food apps because man, those extra fees were just too much. I'll be honest though, I still buy food at work even when I have my skaftina. And oh man, that Seattle coffee is just downright addictive😋 pray for me beloveds!
Let me open in prayer lol! Ok firstly maybe start with trying to reduce the quantities instead of trying to completely cutting out your guilyty pleasures and then let's see how that goes....
Eish mina a helper for me its really an assistant as sometimes the schedules are tight and I can't do any work, I end up losing myself completely when the house is no longer neat. I will rather not wear nice or fashionable clothes lol. I got rid of the helper and I just did not like myself. She only comes 6 times a month though, she really helps me alot. I forgot to say, I have cut on the transport to work, I have joined a staff bus than driving daily with my car. Saving on car maintenance and monthly fuel plus tollgates.
Giiiirl I feel you and this is the only cut that has left me in doubt. I am also a neat freak and I think better and am more productive when things are tidy so nje this one might be coming back. I have proven my mbokodo point 😅
I used to not have a helped but after I lost my grandmother in love I had to admit that I need one. As a 9 to 5 employee and side hustles. I want someone to be home when my kids come back. But I get your point why it didn't work for you
I HEAR YOU! It’s just me and hubby but I’m also slowly thinking of getting someone atleast once every 2 weeks because I’m just not comfortable with spending an entire day getting to everything, that time could be spent making more money than what I pay so yeah 😅
@@AndiswaMojapelo I loved that point about time too because sometimes outsourcing certain things might save you money more than doing it yourself. I really enjoyed this video
I asked my stay-in nanny to come once a week and later I asked that she doesn't come anymore but yhuuuu I'm seeing flames ngeke. I don't have time to properly rearrange, clean under the beds etc.
I just love how majority of the ladies in the comments INCLUDING me are just flagging the Helper part..Ay nam I’m slowly giving up, I can imagine as a Mummy ke - sooo much worse I’m sure!
@@AndiswaMojapelo I waited at MTN I think the sales person wasn’t interested, so nje I lost interest and left with no package change. I get 4 gigs of social media 😫😫 and it dribbles me coz I tent to think I have data
I'm very frugal with my money ,I only buy take always ones a month, I still have a nanny because I get to work on my side hustles with that time ,I decided to grow my own hair because I was a Brazilian weave fan but not anymore ,I never buy airtime or data, i use wifi and only do WhatsApp calls 😂😂😂.Loved this video
Once a month only ? You are a legend!! 🎉 I don't blame you, and I'm really doubting all that time I spend on cleaning as well. Seems like it's just not worth it at all.
Like I said in the video, this is one cut I am also not sure about anymore, it takes me almsot the whole day and I keep asking myself if its really worth the coins I save, I dont think so.
I have never really had a helper. I prefer cleaning myself and using that money for my hair 😅 think my thing is I don't mind paying for something someone else can do better ... but if I can do it myself and find the time to do it, im gonna do it. So cleaning I can do, hair I need an experts help.
I could not have said it better myself. If I can do it myself then why not BUUUUT Like I said in the video, this is one cut I am not so sure about anymore, the house is big and it takes me almost the whole day and I keep asking myself if its really worth the coins I save, I dont think so.
This is so informative. I also stopped having a helper that saved a bit of money and now i am looking for a work from home job cos petrol is showing me flames 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep up the good work hun
Fine dining for me must be at a Top 10 resturant and for a special occasion otherwise it's just an expensive meal. Your fine dinning resturant has been in the Top 10 resturants in South Africa consistently, lol every year the list comes out, I check to see if it's still there 😅 So yes we can skip fine dining unless its on someone else budget.
Take aways Nooooo 😂😂😂😂.i even have my quick meals just to avoid take aways .macaroni ,amasi nompokoqo😂😂😂on my lazy days.i just don't have budget ye take aways.I cook n do my own lunch .i bring everything from home shame...i Don't even carry wallet at only hve my lunch bag ,R30 on the back of my phone and it stays there until i forgot because I'm dropped by the gate n picked up😂😂..only apps u would find in my phone is checkers ,take a lot ,Woolworths

😂😂😂😂 I would frustrate that helper shame because I'm one person who like to do things herself. I'm doing that to my child now he's learning to make his bed but me being me i do it after he has done😂😂😂 adikwe because why am I not giving time to learn to do t ?if he do the dishe-s i do them again 😂😂😂.
Hayi , wena you need to go to court for this behavior lol! You will not always be able to take care fo everything yourself so the sooner you can start learning to let go of that control the better for everyone hle! 😄
@@AndiswaMojapelo imbi ntoyam I guess kukhula ndodwa doing everything by myself 🤣🤣🤣ndith sendthe Boy do that for me plz bengath slowly ndipakame ndoze nzela🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I am not a make up person I have one foundation that I probably bought last year. I can get away with lipstick or gloss so that helps 😂😂me yo not spend money
Ezekiel 31 :11-15(KJV) I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

Yeeep!!🙌🏾🙌🏾

Even when you live alone, it's expensive buying takeaways
Buying weekly groceries works for me coz my food never goes of, I only buy what I eat not what I would like to eat
Yep, agree with fine dining, also decided to cut cut cut
I just couldn't anymore - I have been soooo happy since 😅

Gang Gang 😍😍😊😂
I love how you react and comment to everyone ❤️
Thank you, I really ppreaciate it when people take the time and the least I can do is do the same 🙂
Love love this one!
Yaaaaay! Thanks Dima 🌻
Agree with you 💯 👍
Thanks Anna :-)
Got so excited seeing this ❤. Uber eats service fee is just too expensive 😅
Not worth it at all especially cause the menu prices themselves are often hiked as well
I tried to think what I no longer spend money on but I'm so frugal in my day to day, I could find anything but you list is a good reminder that im on the right track 😊
I love this lol, frugality has become a norm.. 😂
Yho make up yona I don’t recall wearing it this year besides lipstick
Ndim lolow, lip gloss and I am good to go
I watched this during the week I see I didn't leave a comment smh.
The makeup part stood out for me lol
We have cut out cleaning help for years but now I feel like we need to hire help because wow
I feel you, I myself am slowly thinking of changing that one cause ziyabuya and there's no rest like you said 😅😅

Thank you for your converting me from pre-paid to contract ... remembered how you had to show me all the calculations ...
I had to do an entire powerpoint presentation with a cost vs benefit analysis and examples lol. It was worth it though Haha

I am so glad you did Kazi, thank you!
I'm not really into takeaways I take lunchbox. I'm very chilled. Accessories I like stud earnings those ones I take care of them, hoops I lose them. I bought lovisa hoops I noticed I look after them more than when I used less money
I’m so glad I’m not the only one when it comes to accessories cause I was really starting to think that something is wrong with me
I'm so grumpy when I don't have a helper 🙊😂.. probably because I spent most of my time doing it and I'd be so tired. This wasn't good for my marriage
