Thank God for my disability workers😂
Im saving all my dimes Im on low income
Christina this is an incredible video so throughly explained and I love how much you’ve been enjoying reselling items I have found so many fantastic things when I’ve been shopping at thrift stores as well so many things that you can then sell on marketplace. This was my first video of yours that I’ve watched and it definitely won’t be my last!
I am proud of you
Such wonderful ideas! 😇🌸
I Love to watch movies
You are a beautiful child and I revel in your enthusiasm.
Thank you Christina. You're doing the Lord's work here. This stuff has the potential to change people's financial futures. Keep up the good work, sis.
Understand me to creative crafting with and different kinds of things to do me either fine diy college and her college fund my name is Heather ha
Those pavlova and cake look amazing❤
Thank you so much for this!! I get so many messages asking if my items are available , and instead of the standard greeting back, I like to say for example " Good afternoon , so and so , hope you're days going well . And yes this item is available you are interested in purchasing? That's wonderful. " I just started selling and I love the fact that you said "yes but I'm getting multiple inquiries " I will do that next. Also I have had soooooo many people who just Flake out on me as I'm literally waiting for them it's so frustrating but thank you for this!
Great video ! Definitely considering trying this out !!!! Loved this
I oftentimes shower with cold water and it feels surprisingly good. I also figured out a "trick" how to not waste my money anymore. Thanks for this video!
I'm late to the video, but hey from Toronto! These are all really great tips... I'm definitely guilty of buying the cheaper option and needing to replace it sooner, and that's especially tough when it's related to your home because those costs can sky rocket! I also definitely let produce go bad in my fridge because I'll be too lazy to commit to the meal plan I made, so I'll be taking your advice to prep my produce in advance!
Someone flipped when my son offered math tutoring at 25 an hours, as a student himself. He's now an engineer, that left a big corporation to go with a startup. He was not overcharging. He knows math, like the back of his hand.
Wired fact about me 😂my handwriting is the wrost but I can do calligraphy 😅
I’m trying to sell a one wheel I don’t rlly use it
TFS
I never leave the water running, I live in California so we are constantly told to watch our water usage
That’s great you’re careful with your water! I would love to visit California one day 😊
omg yes uncomfortable things that are also cute are such a trap!
Right?! I would much rather wear leggings and a T-shirt most days 😅
@@christinamariemoney that's what I end up doing a lot of times - that and everything with sneakers!
Christina, another great video for us to think about how to save $$$! I got lots of triggers and want to share. Because I have not been working for the last 4 years, I have had to change my life. Thankfully, I am or was a clothes horse and still have tags on new clothes that I don't wear because of COVID and not dressing up to go out. I basically wear a small selection of clothes that I just wash over and over again because I am at home. One great deal that I have invested in is good socks. I bought these on a girl's trip to Buffalo more than 10 years ago and they are just falling apart. I have looked for the store but it is gone. I found them on Amazon and they are called Gold Toe. These are amazing and they don't compare to either the dollar store socks or even the high-end socks you can buy. They are a great investment! On the topic of food waste, it is very sad. I am a single person and do not get to go out weekly (or daily, as some people do) to buy takeaway or prepared foods. Thankfully I have a talent for cooking and I find meats that go on sale and cook them that night or freeze them. The big joke between my friends is how stocked our freezers are. I don't think I have ever had it empty. LOL. I love using my Instantpot for making soups (that I store in the freezer because I get sick of eating it every day) and pasta is amazing to make in there. Less messy and does not take your time to watch it. You can also make yogurt in it! A big way to save money on this item can go from $2.29 to $4+!! You have to wrap your brain around it but once you do, it is simple. As for subscriptions, I got rid of my Netflix but my friend found me a free site where you can watch movies that are even just out! I am sure there are a few out there now. I don't have a car anymore but I hear that Walmart has a place you can ship your purchases to. Just this week I purchased a smartwatch for my health that I want to monitor closely. I went on Amazon and found an iWatch knockoff. I went through the reviews and even the simplest ones (which I wanted) had some bad reviews. So, knowing that these cheaper ones are not as good as the original, I bumped the price up because I know paying a bit more will be better in the long run. So far, so good. Also, I was talking with a friend and he said he will help me with my financial outlook by making up a spreadsheet to follow and know where I am. He said he had some depression years about money and he did this and it really helped him. I think most people under financial strain do not want to look closely at this. Once you do, you are accountable for being more aware of how you are spending. All your tips help, Christina!🤩
Thank you so much for your comment!! Lots of awesome info in here 😊❤️ I love that you invested some money into your health - I think that’s not something that’s talked about a lot but taking care of our health is so important and will also save us money in the long run! Also you are right, it can be hard for people to face reality when they are in debt or spending too much. Understandably so! Ripping off the bandaid is the first step towards better finances :)
Good video! I have no subscriptions. I simply cant afford them. I dont have internet or TV either. I paid $50 for an antenna. My neighbor and my husband put my antenna up and I get about 50 channels. I have internet on my phone and that is it. I have saved over $3,000 just on internet and TV over the past 3 years. Thank you for your videos. God Bless!
Oh my word. I’ve done the same thing with clothes and food😉. Since starting my financial freedom journey I’ve become a lot more mindful while at the store.
I’m glad I’m not the only one haha! We’ve all been there 😊 Once I practiced being mindful it just became natural and now I over think my purchases sometimes lol!
I like to set reminders to cancel the services I don't need, especially the free trials. Thanks for the reminders. Great video!
Great video 😊 we are trying to save at the minute as we're getting married in August, so this video came at the right time!
Great video! New subscriber. Love your content!
Now what if you can't work but pay taxes sadly it's hard to even go on vacations or buying food plus clothing , though wished I could sell my used clothes that are still wearable
Just a reminder that no one is perfect and mistakes happen when it comes to wasting money! All we can do is try to be conscious of our waste and try to make good money choices as often as we can :)
HI Christina. I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you. I have missed your videos. I pray that you are doing well. Take Care and God Bless!
Thank you for the tips, Christina! For me, it can be challenging during the warmer months sticking to a budget. But I feel good going forward because I've been cutting back a lot since all of this madness started. Hope you have a great weekend!❤❤
Great video! Thank you and God Bless!
I'll never buy stuff at the movies, I'll get something at the grocery store and take it with me xD
It’s soo much cheaper! I like to do that too but sometimes I can’t help myself because the movie theatre popcorn is so good 😍
Happy Easter Christina! Great tips, as always! 👍❤️
Happy Easter to you too Shannon! ❤️😊 Glad you enjoyed the video xo
I hope you are all having the best easter weekend if you celebrate! Let me know what your favourite easter treat is🐰
Hi Christina, great to see another video from you. The idea of buying new/expensive clothes is kind of scary if you don't have the funds to always do that. I look at exercise gear and want to buy it but these types of clothing last forever! I walk away and keep using the collection I have. Workout gear is not fashion, really. If you do want to, get together with your girlfriends and trade stuff that you don't want. The rest can go to Goodwill after you have your gathering. The jar thing, I can relate. I keep all cute jars because I make homemade salad dressings and chilli oil and keep those in the fridge. Much nicer to use glass than plastic. I also keep a list of things that I can never buy....like lipstick.(just to look at it and keep it in mind) You only buy the same colours anyways. lol. When I used to work, every Friday was the day a friend and I went for a cheap meal at the market down the street. It was under $10 and I never bought a drink. Speaking of drinks. I have a container that rolls up once you use it so I take that along knowing that I can reuse it and roll it up, not throw it out. Just the other day I went to a guy that makes jewellery that I befriended. I brought him my old gold and silver and I made $614! IF you make jewellery as I do, keep anything silver that you cut off in baggies, as this is added to the lot. One idea is to buy your birthday/holiday/sympathy cards from the dollar store. Unless your friends/family are into the art scene and will judge you, then buy one from there. They are decent enough. As for groceries; I live in Toronto so every so often I go down to Chinatown and do my groceries. I can leave with paying $5 for my lot which would have cost me $20 in the big grocery chains. The issue is that you have to use up these foods quickly so freezing anything you can is also an option. I don't have a car so if I want to go to this grocery store, I walk. Usually, I would take a subway and/or bus(a car ride would b 5 mins+)but I walk and get my steps in. Keep on saving!!
OH, one more thing. I just recently changed my internet service. I got a bill for over $170 and when I looked at the bill I noticed that there was a duplicate charge(other than termination fees) that I questioned. I called them about that and in the end, they removed all the termination fees! WIN-WIN. I think maybe it is something that is illegal to do?? Like having a contract with any of the providers. Well, made my day!
Wow, so many great tips and ideas in this comment flora!! ❤️ I LOVE that you made $614 from gold/silver you didn’t need! Also the fact that you don’t have a car must save you so much money as well. I lived in Toronto for a year in 2013/2014. I loved how easy it was to walk/take the subway!
Can you make videos how a college student can save?
Great suggestion! 😊❤️
I love doing a jigsaw puzzle and listening to podcasts or audiobooks. It helps my retention. I also enjoy reading, walking my dogs, and budgeting/planning personal finance. I am always wary of getting into expensive hobbies when there's so many great free or cheap hobbies. Great video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas!
Great hobby suggestions! 😊 I love doing puzzles too. I find it so relaxing! Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️
These tips are amazing. As someone who strives to one day be more sustainable as well as am very frugal, I think it's such a waste to buy bottled water when you could get water at home. Job tip is also cool. You don't want to have worked for practically nothing. I'd never buy anything unless I plan to keep it. I'm intentional about purchases. My family members are impulse buyers. It's a little annoying. Wish we didn't need butter tubs but everytime we end up with actual Tupperware it disappears as if someone threw it away. 😢
Yay I’m so happy you enjoyed the video 😊 it can be challenging when you are surrounded by shoppers and impulse buyers. I find RUclips helps me stay on track if I’m ever being tempted to over consume like other people. Thank you for watching ❤️
I went back and watched parts of this video 2 times. I am old enough to be your mother. I think you are very wise and frugal for your age. You give great advice and I am learning from you! Thank u! One thing I do as a frugal person is to earn money by using my debit card to pay for things. I just earned $25.00 this week. I am going to take that money and buy some home decorations. I dont buy home decor like most women do. I try to make what I need or use birthday money or other money given to me to purchase the home decor. If I need a painting, I paint it. If I need a wreath for my front door, I make it. It is fun and saves me a lot of money. God Bless!
When I eat out I will either order a kids meal or just an appetizer that has the food groups I want. I never order a full meal and rarely order an entree. As a result, restaurants that cost other people $20 to $50 per person cost about $6 to $10
Awesome tip Elizabeth! We don’t have to eat full entrees when we go out 😊 you still get the experience without the big bill! Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤️
Morning, I enjoy listening and that's a beautiful cream colored sweater have a glorious day
Hi Bessie! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching 😊❤️
I consider myself a minimalist but I definitely have what a minimalist would call "too much clothes" - but for me it's the mindset about it, and I'm also always thinking about what I can let go of and if something is really needed
Yes!! That is exactly how I feel about it 😊 we might have more than one of something, but we still live simply and focus on what’s important.
I am a frugal granny and I adamantly disagree with your "go grocery shopping with a meal plan" advice! You're doing it BACKWARDS. First, scan all of the local flyers. I use Flipp, I don't know if that app is available in Canada, but if not, sign up to be on the mailing list of all the local markets and scan those email flyers. Find the best deals, especially on the proteins, which are the most expensive component of any meal. After you've found the proteins, fill in with whatever produce and other foods are fresh, seasonal and cheap. THEN create a meal plan from what is available to you. First, you will be using the freshest most seasonal foods which are invariably the most nutritious. Second, you will save as much as 50% on your food without too much effort. I shop the sales cycles and stock up at rock bottom prices. I use a Google Docs spreadsheet to track the lowest price that I last paid for an item, so that I'm sure that the advertised price is truly a bargain. Using the stock-up tactic, I eat all organic, free-range, grass-fed, fair-trade, super-nutritious food and I spend less than $150 per month including such luxuries as fresh shrimp, salmon, prime beef, wine and coffee. I am experienced enough that coming up with a great meal based on available ingredients is second nature. But, to get you started, try www.supercook.com. You input the available ingredients, and it offers helpful menu and recipe suggestions to select from. Good luck on your frugal journey, Christina. You're on the right track!
Oh man I remember at my old job I'd always stop into Shoppers Drug Mart after work and pick up all these items "on sale." I don't know what I was thinking 🤦🏽♀️. Whenever we go out to restaurants I always order water, or if we eat at the food court I order chinese so we can split it since they serve lots lol. I never buy their drinks, instead I'd go to Dollarama or Dollar Tree.
Splitting large portions is a great idea Simone! 😊 Especially for feeding kids - you can divide it up a couple of ways. Yess I love dollarama for cheap drinks/snacks! Especially with the price of food these days.. dollarama has been my go to!
Hey there friends! I hope your day has been wonderful so far - thanks for spending time with me :)
I think your hair looks pretty. I am trying hard to continue to declutter. I am so thankful to say that I sold 5 items last week. I have a long ways to go to become a minalmist. Great video! God Bless!
Thank you Sandra! 😊 I think as long as you’re working on limiting the things in your life that don’t add value, that’s all that matters! It’s all a work in progress. Enjoy your day ❤️
Love the hair, looks nice on you😊 Enjoy the rest of your weekend, hopefully the weather is nice! We had snow yesterday 😟
Thanks Simone!! 🥰 ugh i’m so done with snow! It’s a pretty crappy day here in NS today too. Lots of rain and wind - perfect for cozying up on the couch though!
