🤑 How To Be Frugal 🤑
With our economy the way it is right now, it's probably not the best time to be purchasing random, "non essential" things. It's a time where most of us are having to cut back, but do we really know how to cut back? Now I'm not saying to get yourself in a "poor man's" mentality or anything. However, several of us are having to step back and re-evaluate our spending. 🙋🏼♀️ I am her, she is me!
First and foremost, you HAVE TO PAY YOUR TITHES!!!! It's not an option. The Bible doesn't ask for you to pay them, it says, "pay your tithes and give offering", This is not a time for you to start being greedy with God. Now more than ever, you should be giving all you can, and give with a giving heart. I promise you I would rather have 90% blessed, than 100% cursed. I've tried it the other way, and it never turns out in my favor. If I try to use my tithe money for something else, like clockwork, something is going to go haywire.
Second, cut out as many of your monthly subscription services as possible. It will help dramatically!! I have unsubscribed from both Ipsy and BOXYCHARM for the time being. Which will be kinda tough on me since I use those in my monthly beauty blog posts, but I'm sure it will be fine, I'll just have to get creative with it!!
The next one up is going to be the hardest on me, simply because it's clothing....😱.... For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for fashion, and clothes and shoes and jackets!! 😅 I've only recently started getting into handbags; relatively speaking!! So when you see me posting pics in pieces you've seen before, mind ya business, I'm working on being frugal!! 😂 Challenge yourself to not purchase any new items during this time, and see what you can create with what you already have!! To be fair, I kinda already do this, only sometimes I will have to buy something to add to it, in the process. So I am really going to try my best with this challenge.
Another big one for us is going out to eat... 😩.... Considering that we can't actually dine in the restaurant at the moment, most restaurants and fast food places are still doing curb side and drive-thru. Just remember it's always cheaper to cook at home, ha obvs!! BUT, sometimes you just want that Whataburger and fries so bad. Or you NEED that supreme pizza with no mushrooms from Pizza Hut. 😳🙄🤔.... that was very specific huh?! 😀😁😂 This is when you pull out your coupons!! YESSSS coupons were sent from God!! I get a whole pile of coupons once a month in my mailbox. Whenever I'm havin a hankerin for something, I always check my coupon stack first! If you dont keep coupons, be sure to check their website. Like with the clothing stores, there's always some kind a deal to save you money. Or you can download apps like Groupon, that always have great deals. Another way to save a few bucks is to not use the delivery service. From my experience, they charge at least $2-$3 every time, then you have to tip on top of that. 🤑
By not buying unnecessary things, you'll save so much money. With that being said, you are the only one who knows what's "unnecessary" to you. Everyone is different, so you'll have to be the judge on that. I hope this has helped in one way or another. Thank y'all for being here, and I'll see you next week!

I USE AFFILIATE LINKS
As a customer you do not pay more because I have used an affiliate link, it does not affect you in any way other than a small percentage of the sale may go to the person who generated the link. You pay no more, and no less because you use the link.
