    The soda/sugary drinks is definitely my vice.. maybe seeing it not just from a health standpoint but also the money will help me ☺️🙏🏼 thanks Kyra! Greetings from Germany

    I used to hate air drying my clothes because they would feel stiff, now that I switched to a more natural detergent and use vinegar instead of fabric softener. My clothes are still soft when I air dry them.

      @Aleksandra Franks I just use white vinegar in the rinse cycle.

      @Aleksandra question, what natural detergent do you use?

    Running the washer or dryer or even dishwasher on delay on the middle of the night also costs less if you can do it.

    I usually hand wash the clothes that I want to wear on a specific day, especially if it’s only 1 or 2 pcs. 🤗

    Guilty with keeping chargers plugged in. I tried unplugging them to save $. For us it wasn’t that much of a diff plus it was so irritating to have to go plug it in or plug our phones in and not auto charge. For the few $s it’s worth the luxury to just plug the phone and it’s charging.

    Plug in freshers run your bill up too. I switched to Dollar Tree warmers. I use tealights because they're small & burn themselves out. For me, the tealights are a natural "timer."

    When my kids were still at home, I did laundry all the time. But now that it's just me, I do laundry 4 X a month. Not once a week, but 4 X a month. Once a week is 52 times a year; 4 X a month is 48 times a year. That means there are 4 weeks that laundry doesn't get done. I do laundry every Saturday. Except those 4 Saturdays. But my options are: 1) Instead of doing laundry the Saturday before the off-Saturday, let it stretch out until Tuesday. Then the next Saturday is off. Then I won't be due to wash until the next Saturday, but I can wash a little early, like on Thursday. Then the next Saturday after that, I will be back on track (until next time there's 5 Saturdays in a month), or 2) just keep it all on Saturdays. I will end up going 2 weeks without doing laundry 4 times a year. I will be going to the bottom of the barrel for clothes to wear. (When I became minimalist, I did not do a capsule wardrobe.) I will be wearing clothes I hadn't worn in a while, but maybe that's good, to get more clothes worn instead of just sitting there.

    Good suggestions! For app subscriptions, I also cancel the reoccurring payments in PayPal. I've had a few apps still charge me after I canceled in the App store, so that helps stop that completely.

    If you have an efficient washing machine, you can select the load size and soil level, I would recommend upgrading to a more efficient machine if possible, I got a very inexpensive newer washing machine from an outlet store to replace my old 1990’s washer to save money over time! :)

    I turn off all appliances when not using (except fridge). I set the Washing machine on Auto to come on in off peak time in middle of night. Don’t use the dryer as it’s the number one energy bill sucker here in Australia. I Just hang outside or inside when cold or raining.
