Frugal tip: Think before you buy

Think before you buy something. 

I have taken up things on stores and put things in my shopping cart online, only to put them back or leave it I think about my budget, how much I've spent to date for the month, how much I have left to spend and other goals I have. I think do I really need another tan color shoe when I already have like 5. Seriously I already have about 5.... or maybe more. lol. 

The point is I have learnt to talk myself out of purchases. Now sometimes I'm like yes I do need another sandals when it has been a while since I treated myself to something and it's at such a good sale price. Be wary of clearance and sale items. If you really don't need it, don't buy it. You can off course stock up on things if you will be using it in the future. You can budget for these sales as certain items go on sale at different times of the year. At the last Bath & Body works sale, I bought about $50 worth of items. I knew I'd be buying throughout the year for hand soaps and I can use items as gifts. 

There is an opportunity cost for every dollar you spend. What I mean is that dollar you spend could be used for something else and you're giving that up. 

Stop, think and don't spend.

Ronalda Ann I'm all about living frugally, money, saving and all that but I also focus on the things that money can't buy. ⠀ ⠀ This is why I post positive messages every morning. Start the day on a positive note. ⠀ ⠀ I'm filthy rich, my karma bank overfloweth! LOL. My conscience is clear and I reduce negativity in my life.⠀ ⠀ Life is about choices We can't control what happens to us sometimes but we can choose how we react and whether we see it as a learning experience.⠀ ⠀ Xoxo⠀ Ronnie⠀ ⠀ #islandfrugalista #personaldevelopment #better#taken #makeithappen #motivation #quote#positivity #seizetheday #dailyaffirmation #doer #empower #positive#positivevibes #halffull #starttheday #zen #positivechoice#ichoosetobehappy #choices #blessed #thankful #gratitude #namaste#blogger #carpediem #yolo

Ronalda Ann Use veggie scraps to grow more food. Celery, onions, green onions, garlic potatoes can be used to grow more food. I currently do this for celery and green onions. I cut off the bottom and stick them in a little container with some water and leave it by the kitchen window for some sunlight, but not direct sunlight. After about 7 days, I move them to the garden. You can google for more details. You're throwing away money when you throw out those parts of the food that you don't eat or use. Every mickle, makes a muckle! Every bit counts.

Use baking soda & vinegar to clean 

I had PCOS for a few years and had done a lot of research on how to cure it. They say it could not be cured. Years later, here I am with no PCOS. One of the things I came across was that a lot of the products we use on our bodies and even to clean the house are endocrine disruptors. I love to clean and was using a lot of chemicals that were keeping and making me sick. 

Essentially going green and more natural helps you to be healthier. Going green and eating organic can be more expensive in the short term but it’s better for you in the long run. To eat better I grow some food & shop at Aldi for some organic products. Aldi by the way doesn’t sell expired foods, they sell European brands and have their own organic line of foods. 

For cleaning I use baking soda and vinegar. They clean very well and get rid of dog pee smells. If you want a scent, you can add a few drops of essential oils (that I get at TJ Maxx or Marshalls at a cheaper price). I use a shaker for the baking soda- a recycled Mrs. Dash container, and mix vinegar and water in a Dollar Tree spray bottle. To clean I sprinkle some baking soda then spray with vinegar and wipe or scrub. I use this especially for the bath tub and sink. To clean the floors I put baking soda and vinegar in the water and wipe the floors. I even add some vinegar to my laundry to kill smells and it doubles as a fabric softener as well.
