I am getting my hair trimmed at the beauty school for $10.00!

I will let you know if this was a really bad idea.

When I go to Starbucks, I always just get tea. I don't need all the sugar in a latte anyway (although this is easy for me to say since I don't drink coffee.)

I still spend money but not as much as I did, when I was in a relationship,

I put money away. I can be dead poor but I don't touch my savings. I am waiting for the housing market to crash again.

By returning EVERYTHING I bought today!

Nothing was quite right once I got home - not the dog beds, shower curtain or bath rug.

I save money by not buying anything that is tagged with extra taxes or tariffs. I don’t know how long the American economy will survive once it’s irrevocably changed by our latest person occupying the WH.

I also stash cash, too.

By shopping for my pantry, not just for the week. At this time of year especially, I stock up on things that go on sale this time of year that I use all year. For example, Campbell's soups; they go on sale for 79 cents each instead of $1.99 or $2.09 each. Turkey is 39 cents a pound, and I will roast at least one and freeze the meat, and make stock from the carcass and freeze that too. Same with ham, I will freeze the meat left over from Thanksgiving and Christmas and make stock with the bones.

I set a budget at the beginning of this year to really dial in on the details. Every month was spelled out in advance with tweaking as needed. It really helped me save this year.

Also, meal planning. Dialing into sales. Cooking in bulk and preserving. Reusable cleaning supplies (cloths that can be cleaned and re-used for a long time) Growing vegetables and herbs. It helps that I can eat the same soup (or whatever) for days and not mind it at all.

The majority of my extracurricular activities are things like hiking, riding my bike, and other outside easy free things. I'll treat myself to concerts or shopping intentionally when it's planned for.
