This is such a great video! Our family cut 90% of our meat out 2 years ago. We saved money, lost weight without trying, and have so much more energy. I also make our own cleaning products mainly with Dr. Bronners soap. Laundry & other home care products have been so inexpensive, & our cabinets are not cluttered with a product for everything. You are so smart and doing such a huge service to your community. Thank you for the tips! I always learn something new =)
I totally agree with shopping alone. I don't like when my husband comes to the store with me I always wind up spending more because he constantly adds to my cart when I plan my weekly meals, bring a list, and coupon along w/rebate apps and am good about sticking with it.
The list: 1. Barter 2. Buy your produce last 3. Practice house hacking 4. Eat more veggies 5. Mystery shopping 6. Make your own cleaning products 7. Replace, not add 8. Live with less 9. Batch cook and freeze 10. Shopping alone 11. Autopay your bills 12. Programmable termostat 13. Use the library 14. Break up your paycheck 15. Ask to waive fees 16. Choose curbside 17. Exercise 18. Travel light
Buy your meat first. I have done this for thirty years. Also give yourself a budget for each category. Fifty for meat, twenty five for vegetables and and twenty five for carbohydrates. It works.
@@autumnsmart664 sorry, that figure is for the month. I have done this for years. Also, I buy sale meats all of the time. That does not mean$50.00 per month is not doable. I don't buy processed foods either.
Your room is SOOOOOOOOO CALMING w/the lighting, the grey colors (I love the dresser), the flowy draperies...I appreciate your sharing these frugal hacks in such a classy, elegant manner!🙏🏾👍🏾🖤
Cutting down on meat definitely helped reduce my food budget. Bartering sounds innovative, need to look more into what services I could exchange. I can't stress enough the importance of having a budget and sticking to it.
Wow I didn't know vegetarians can save that much money in a year! Buying meat is usually the most expensive thing when I go to the grocery story. Gonna have to try to incorporate more meatless protein in my diet
Cutting down on meat helped me and my husband save money AND we feel so much better. We also are doing a no spend year(allowing myself a candle here and there) and are saving sooooo much.
I am one of those who doesn't like autopay. To get around it and still keep it simple I called all my providers and moved the due date to the first of the month. I pay all of my bills the last Friday of every month, this way all my bills are paid before the 1st of the month. I only have to deal with bills once a month and being the last Friday of the month makes it easier to remember. I'm not very good at explaining but I hope you know what I'm trying to say. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
I did the same thing. My second check of the month is used for the next month's bills and gas for both cars. My husband and I save our first paychecks of the month and use our second one for mortgage and monthly bills.
The tips are great! I thrift to find quality over quantity, only looking for all natural fibres like cotton, wool, cashmere and silks. I tend to feel the urge to shop when I watch Youtude videos on shopping, I also pay my bills early so its never late nor take a couple of days to process.
Excellent video. Lots of practical tips that really do work. Eat less meat has really cut down on my grocery bill. I always shop at the produce section last too...I didn't know you could get paid for mystery shopping...I also like your tip about disputing late charges or fees. I have received many refunds for overdraft fees just by asking!
Another reason for having produce upfront is that after having healthy stuff in our carts we don't feel as guilty for buying unhealthy things that they're going to market to you on the store. It's like an excuse for your brain to give to yourself: you already have your greens so you deserve this ice cream/candy/chips, wtv...
I always thought produce was in the front so you start in the back, get your produce, then go straight to check out so it stays more fresh. But now that I think of it, your explanation of grocery stores pulling a fast one on us makes me sense
Shopping alone! Yes! We egg each other on and suddenly you have 2 pairs of shoes at checkout instead of the one pair you needed. It is like the studies show that eating out with the girls we eat many more hundreds of calories. We get so into the experience of being part of the merry band until we get that bill, or step on the scale and see the damage.
Great tips. I like the tip about stop adding, because I also have many shoes and dresses which are all similiar in style and color which I don't wear. I am glad I came across your channel. Thank you
As a WFPB Vegan I only spend 120 to 180 a month & that's all organic veg & this feeds myself & my Doberman who's food i make. I could easily spend only 100 a month if it was just me & I was really focused & didn't buy kombucha lol. 2 huge boxes of organic veg, some oats, pasta, chic peas & I never have felt deprived, I make muffins, cookies, granola bars, chips, pot pies & save a lot making everything from scratch. Now that I bought a house & can grow my veg the cost has been going down even more, If I was buying this organic veg at my local grocery it would cost much more but i get a Misfits Market box twice a month & it's plenty for me & Venus, then I buy 10 to 20lbs of bulk organic rice, oatmeal, chic peas, peanuts to make Venus peanut butter with my nut butter attachment on my juicer. I have kept all the seeds from the misfits box like squash, peppers, tomatoes to grow myself next spring. even if I got the box every week, which I did last month when I was juicing everyday, that was only 160, it's 35 a box 40 with shipping. it's even cheaper than buying the same veg conventional by $20 to $40 because I priced it out by filling my online cart at both kroger & aldi with the same veg, & it's a $50 to $60 savings on organic veg. Anyway, just sharing in case it could help someone else. Thanks for all your great videos!✌🌱💸👑💚💕
That's great!! We spend $20 max to feed 2 adults, make enough food for bf for lunches for work also, we're vegetarian, buy non organic food, lots of potatoes & rice, lol..(organic too expensive here for our budget), not bad for living in a big city(Chicago) :)
Yes! Love your travel light concept - can be “carried over” to the grocery store too - only grab a shopping basket instead of a whole cart, and what you can only buy will be what you can only carry 😎 helps me stick to my small lists. Another great video Vee! 💞 your channel!
i went to trader joe’s recently and i didn’t grab a basket nor a shopping cart. i only used my hands. i didn’t over spend...i thought that maybe i need to shop like this going forward...only get what you can fit in your hands makes for a nice low grocery bill.
That makes sense what you said about the produce and colors. It reminds me of shopping in Netherlands seeing flowers as I walked inside a few grocery stores.Good Video!
THAT'S ME I BATCH COOK BECAUSE IT IS LESS MONEY, WORK, AND TIME . I start shopping on drink aisle , then look for discount food. 2 rotassary chicken score last trip went home and made a huge pot of gumbo. The week before scored 7 LBS of ground turkey. You brown that store it in sandwich bags. Add it to can of pasta sauce , beans chilli sauce , ramen noodle . I auto pay cellphone just because they give a $5 discount. $50 for cell& data I don't remember the last time I used my computer . I pay no fee for banking free checking , so I got 2 account 2 banks. One for saving the other for business. That way I know savings can't be tapped by internet con. Last time I got on an airplane TSA hadn't been created.
I go in with a list, which mainly consists of sale items and rarely deviate. Then I go to the next store and the next store doing the same. One of the ways I beat the marketing game. I definitely recommend meatless a few times a week, but if chicken legs with thigh are $0.39 a lb it’s equivalent to beans and rice in cost or ham for $0.95 lb or chicken breast for $1.23 or hamburger for $1.60 lb. or treat meat as a condiment instead of main dish. If you use a lot of bleach consider making your own. Buy pool shock and mix the powder to water. The $20 investment will last (almost) forever. I’m not into batch cooking. Instead I double the dinner recipe, and then freeze 1/2. Part for tonight and the frozen for whenever. Same amount of dishes and clean up.
The only difficulty you may encounter with bartering, is legally, goods and services exchanging hands is taxable as income. I don't know anyone who pays taxes for this but it may become a problem if the goods or services are very valuable.
I love making my own meal kits~ They're so satisfying. Right now, my meal kit meal is ramen made with turkey broth from the thanksgiving Turkey (I got a HUGE amount of yummy broth from it and my parents are just... not interested in it so it's all mine I suppose). Everything is just ready to put together - real easy. I could make it easier by mixing together my extra seasonings tho so I don't have to pull out four different bottles every time. I used to get a rotisserie chicken whenever I ran out of broth and make some more, so maybe I'll start doing that again. But I also like my own custom stir fry mixes. I'm allergic to a lot of things that come in mixes plus I have ingredients that I like more. So, I can just get the individual veggies either frozen or fresh depending on season and availability and mix them together the way I want! Then I have a stir fry sauce recipe I love (another thing that usually has things I'm allergic to in them) and I'll just make a huge batch of that and it's real easy to quickly throw it together.
Hi, new viewer and subscriber here! Your channel was recently recommended to me and I'm really enjoying it so far, thank you for the great content. I'm also curious about the mystery shopper idea/tip you shared. Do you happen to have a company or two out of the various ones available that you used and liked or is recommended?
House hacking is the reason our rents are becoming so high. All you youtube advisers are telling people they can have it for free so they charge us their whole mortgage. And frozen food tastes gross

Mystery shopping definitely helps it helped me add extra income towards my saving now due to pandemic things are moving a little slowly...however it definitely works. Also, the idea of buying a building and renting is a stress free way to manage mortgage. Your insights are very helpful i followed your tips towards creditcard and waived off my annual charge and some other charges. Thank you for using this platform to educate.

Hi, I'm not sure what areas they service, but the companies I've worked with include Intelli-Shop and Ace Mystery Shopping. Bestmark is also a good company.
We only eat chicken, and eat that sparingly. I have to eat animal protein for health reasons so can't cut that out, but we almost never get red meat which is the most expensive over here in north Europe. Thanks for a great video!
i to Barder with a friend, he does the land scaping on my property, for free providing, he can store his car on a empty lot, I own, he can't , HOA rule won't allow him at his residence.
Shopping alone keeps your eye on the ball, what you need you’ll get what you know you don’t want at that moment you won’t get cause no one is telling you you do
Hi, a few companies with good reputations include Intelli-Shop, Bestmark and Ace Mystery Shopping. They have restaurants, retail stores, and other services, and most pay via PayPal or direct deposit.
Impressive. I will try declaring. ? There is clothes and bags of items not even opened. Things not even used or worn. 🤔uum. Worse part of this is I tried seriously to get rid of things because I ran out of space . But ended up throwing bags back into the cupboard. ? Too much to look at and really didn't have time to decide whether I wanted those items🤔 🤔uum 🤗🤔🤔UMPH This is the major problem. After not looking at those items for a long while I don't really need it. 2021 I'm going to take your advice and save money using most of your ideas. I stopped using meat and eat less sugar. Infact I declare sugar is poisoning our bodies so save on not buying sugar and sugar substitute.
With all money saving tips or hacks I find that yes they will save you money but that money will just go somewhere else and then you still don’t have extra money in the bank. How do you say save money on category but actually save that money in the bank and not have it allocate in some other category?
Lol I hear you, I have a seperate online account and if I go to the store and plan to spend $20 but I spend $18, I transfer the $2 immediately when I get home!
Replacing is very helpful. If one already has four pairs of boots, then wear four out. When the fourth pair is looking worn, then buy your replacement pair.
Yet another great video full of great tips! Thank you. Concerning cleaning products, since there is a septic tank where I live with 9 other A Frames on it, sometimes it can get quite interesting. To keep smells down, once a month at the very least, I pour vinegar and baking soda down the drains and let it sit about a half hour then run water to rinse it on down. Having had my own organizing business previously, I would teach people how to live with less. I even had them write down for a month every single penny they spent and on what. That way they see what they are spending and how much is really needless. Since I moved home to Nova Scotia a few years ago, I don't travel as much as I'm where I want to be. But I do want to travel the province and Prince Edward Island too. Just don't want to pay for the meals out or the motel rooms either. So I've been on the lookout for a small camper to tow to eliminate that and bring things down to a small fee for overnights in campgrounds. But I also have friends everywhere who will let me park on their property for free. So many ways to save money.
Hi, we went cold turkey and relied mostly on whole foods, rice, beans, and pasta, and would occasionally choose meatless-meat options when feeling the urge for a burger or something like that. Currently, we eat seafood a couple times a month and chicken occasionally, but we're mostly plant-based.
It's been many years for me, but I did shops for Intelli-shop, Quality Assessments, and another (can't remember the name). It was a fun, positive experience.
During this pandemic I'm buying lots of stocks.
Beef stock, chicken stock, fish stock. Soon I'm going to be a bouillon-ere!🤣
😂😂😂😂😂

Hahaha yesss

Me and my boyfriend spend no more than £10 a week on groceries, legumes are super filling, versatile and cheap
I love the batch cooking idea and preventing food waste is such an important step. Keep up the great work!

👍🏾 Yep! I don't even miss the money that's deposited directly into my savings account now. I don't even include it in my budget.
So true with strategic placements in shops it really is a thing! x
Very seldom when we go in a store for one item, do we actually come out with only one item.
This is actually unique, I have watched alot of them! Thank u

Worse part of this is I tried seriously to get rid of things because I ran out of space .
But ended up throwing bags back into the cupboard. ? Too much to look at and really didn't have time to decide whether I wanted those items🤔 🤔uum 🤗🤔🤔UMPH
This is the major problem.
After not looking at those items for a long while I don't really need it.
2021 I'm going to take your advice and save money using most of your ideas.
I stopped using meat and eat less sugar. Infact I declare sugar is poisoning our bodies so save on not buying sugar and sugar substitute.
With all money saving tips or hacks I find that yes they will save you money but that money will just go somewhere else and then you still don’t have extra money in the bank. How do you say save money on category but actually save that money in the bank and not have it allocate in some other category?
Ways to save: don’t spend it. Have separate accounts that you don’t have a card attached to. Invest it. Etc.
Lol I hear you, I have a seperate online account and if I go to the store and plan to spend $20 but I spend $18, I transfer the $2 immediately when I get home!
Thank you for sharing I really enjoy ur videos and I am looking forward to watching this one😊
Thanks for watching!
Does she list any of the mystery shopping companies that she used please?
Hi, it’s been many years since I’ve worked with a company, but at the time it was Intellishop and BestMark
Replacing is very helpful. If one already has four pairs of boots, then wear four out. When the fourth pair is looking worn, then buy your replacement pair.
Yet another great video full of great tips! Thank you. Concerning cleaning products, since there is a septic tank where I live with 9 other A Frames on it, sometimes it can get quite interesting. To keep smells down, once a month at the very least, I pour vinegar and baking soda down the drains and let it sit about a half hour then run water to rinse it on down.
Having had my own organizing business previously, I would teach people how to live with less. I even had them write down for a month every single penny they spent and on what. That way they see what they are spending and how much is really needless.
Since I moved home to Nova Scotia a few years ago, I don't travel as much as I'm where I want to be. But I do want to travel the province and Prince Edward Island too. Just don't want to pay for the meals out or the motel rooms either. So I've been on the lookout for a small camper to tow to eliminate that and bring things down to a small fee for overnights in campgrounds. But I also have friends everywhere who will let me park on their property for free. So many ways to save money.
Thank you so much for this video. The second hack is so true . I found myself nodding 2hile you were talking.
This is why I love your insights, you have a lot of unique ideas each video. I don't mind repeats though bc it reminds me
Great video! Do you have any vegetarian recipes you would like to share? How about a video on vegetarian budget meals? And YESSSS Exercise helps!

Maybe some different ideas...

Great Tips.
We are trying to go vegan. How did you guys do it.?
Hi, we went cold turkey and relied mostly on whole foods, rice, beans, and pasta, and would occasionally choose meatless-meat options when feeling the urge for a burger or something like that. Currently, we eat seafood a couple times a month and chicken occasionally, but we're mostly plant-based.

I’ve wanted to do mystery shopping, but only found scam companies. Do you have any suggestions for legit companies? Thank you for the great video.
It's been many years for me, but I did shops for Intelli-shop, Quality Assessments, and another (can't remember the name). It was a fun, positive experience.
Check out the taxes first before buying a building
