Saving Everyday

AUGUST 1, 2022

Shop your own home. You can use pre-printed grocery lists to keep inventory and add extra items on the side. Consistently using things you already have not only saves money but also prevents food waste. When you get home from grocery shopping, prep everything you can. Use or freeze things before they go bad.

Using only cash while on vacation will force you to question each purchase, especially when it comes to spending money on unnecessary souvenirs--you won''t want to waste your cash. Maybe you don’t want to cook at all during your vacation or maybe eating out for every meal is beyond what your budget can handle. Create A Budget.

Gwyneth Paltrow posted on her facebook page : There are a lot of people who use Food stamps (now known as SNAP), and the reality is, food stamps or not, anyone can live on $29 a week.

For the past month or two I have been telling you about the American Express Prepaid card and how handy and useful I think it is. I was given the opportunity to do an awesome Staycation courtesy of American Express and use the Prepaid card throughout. All 3 ways are super simple and make this prepaid card extremely versatile.

Groceries is one budget category that can get out of control very quickly. However, groceries is also an easy budget category to control, but it takes some planning, skill, and organization. Personally, if I don’t make a shopping list and plan my meals, my grocery budget is toast. You’ll be thankful later.

The good thing was, I didn’t get used to a “luxury lifestyle” (whatever that is) during all those years. And eating out wasn’t the exception for me then. Of course, due to my upbringing, I was used to getting along with little money. We don’t eat out often, but I like to cook.

I plan my menu on Sunday afternoons when I have the new week’s grocery flyer in front of me. I try to keep my large weekly grocery shopping to one store unless there are some loss-leaders elsewhere.

You know you shouldn’t be using credit cards all the time. But there is no way you are going to give up cable, the cell phone, eating out or your gym membership. You shop to feel better. You shop to release stress, to be someone else, to escape. Send your spouse to do the grocery shopping.

I only used my given points each day and 14 of my 49 weekly extra points. I usually use at least 30 of those. By the end of the week, I hadn’t touched 35 food points and didn’t use any of the 10 points I had accumulated for exercise either. Grocery Shopping. How have you done?

Every month I track how much money I save using coupons and getting things on sale. This time I'm only going to track my grocery and HBA instead of every single penny I spend. But I never track how much I'm spending. I tried tracking about a year ago, but it took to much time.

That is an extremely small amount of interest on a house because of how quickly we paid it off, but to us, that is $11,000 that could have gone into investments or been used elsewhere. Grocery shopping wisely – We shop at affordable stores, shop the ads/sales, and menu plan. I rarely use coupons.

So whether that’s hiking across the beautiful Sussex Downs, growing my own vegetables or taking my binoculars out for a spot of bird watching I rarely spend much time indoors. Career-wise while I studied biology at university I came out to find very few opportunities in my field. Could I knock $20 off my grocery shopping somehow?
