    What is one of your favorite easy money saving habits? 🤍
  • @dannywalters958
    Also remember that though it is a good start your savings would never be enough. The economy is designed that way. Invest your spare cash in profitable things. increase your sources of income.
  • A phrase I learned as a young Mom and carried through life is “use it up, wear it out, make do or do without.” There are so many times i have used this phrase, to realize that I didn’t need to purchase an item.
  • @abbystern3835
    Love these! For me, before I buy ANYTHING I post in my local Facebook no buy group to ask if anyone has it. I’ve gotten a free good quality: blender, toaster, tv stand, tv sound bar, lots of artwork, book shelves, other random decor, my Christmas tree, and half of the toys I use in my speech therapy sessions as a speech therapist 😂.
  • I appreciate the focus on mindset in this video. It's so important to have a positive attitude towards saving money, and the tips for staying motivated are really helpful.
  • Great video Ashlynn! Yes...everything is going up in price. Ugh. My husband and I are about 10 years from retirement and building our dream home. It is practicing good financial habits for many years that has enabled us to do this. I switched to a "disposable free" household. With the exception of toilet paper...I do have limits. 😳 Cleaning rags, dish towels, cloth napkins, etc. I always try to find reusable solutions. Save money and waste.

    Most of the time the generic brand is made in the same factory and the labeling is the only difference. I loved this list and will be using alot of the tips, thanks so much 💝💝💝
  • Very useful tips here! In my opinion, people spend way too much money on material things. It's much better to spend money on experiences!
  • @sunnywang7625
    This reminds me to pause my Audible subscription because there are so many free audiobooks that I can borrow from my local library through the Libby app! As always thanks for the great tips and motivation. <3

    I think the easiest way to save money is to drink only tap water and milk, no other drinks unless a rare occasion, or if you drink coffee, go with a cheap one and make it at home. I am surprised with how much money people waste on other drinks. Another way to save money is to have free TV channels or allow yourself 1 streaming instead of multiples. I grew up frugal and at times didn't have a lot of money. Buy things on sale and in season. Shop clearance for things you need. Don't go out to eat or limit yourself to a special occasion or once a month. There's lots of ways to save money but sadly most people don't really want to. Thanks for your videos as always.
  • For spa visits: do one thing at at time, don't deprive but don't over do. Today I got a pedicure, I will get a manicure in a few months from now.
  • I changed the time of day I go food shopping. My prefered store have shelves with items about to go bad (most of the time they just look a little sad) at discounted prices. The restock them every morning so the one day when I start working a little later I go there when they open so I can get fruit and vegetables for a fraction of their normal price, while getting all of my other groceries too and maintaining my morning routine of getting up & going to bed at the same time 😊

    If you need new clothing items try thrifting first. Also make meals and snacks from home to bring to work. Making enough for 3-4 dinners at a time has been a game changer for me and also frees up my time. And lastly batch run errands to save on gas and time. ☺️
  • @sarastilleke
    Great advice! I recently went through all my subscriptions to get an idea what I was spending every month, and quickly found $80/month of subscriptions that I don’t even use anymore!
  • Hi, Ashlynne! This month, we have been working on eating at home. With myself being a teacher and both kids in high school or college, Eating at home, or with food from home, can be challenging. I’m the worst at it, but I’m getting better. :) Have a fabulous weekend!
  • I’ve had a lot of luck on Freecycle! I’ve been able to clean out some things that I just don’t need and give them to a good home and keep them out of the landfill. I’ve also found some great barely used items, like a rowing machine!
  • @Whisky-1203
    Some of my favorite ones are using root touch up instead of going to salon, getting online pickup for stores where I may overspend, have a few frozen dinners for lazy days when I don’t want to cook. Also automate savings-try to challenge myself to transfer any money leftover before my next payday.
  • @ispytechai
    putting this one on my budget page. This is very helpful. Thanks.
  • @angelaw7619
    These were helpful, thank you! I stopped purchasing paper towels years ago and switched to Marley's Monsters unpaper towels and just turned old shirts into rags for messier clean-ups. For pet accidents (a hairball situation, for example) I use toilet paper or the extra napkins given to me from cafes or restraunts. I also stopped buying new electronics. Many credible stores sell refurbished laptops, TVs, and cellphones. Trademore is great for secondhand smart phones and accessories. :)
