Love this 🙌🏻 great reminders 💖 one addition/correction the toxic part of candles is the metal in the wick (not the wax necessarily) unless it's scented
@@bakekay21 Yes! The scented fragrance is what’s toxic!
I loved what you said. Be modest, be thrifty, don’t compare, and trust in God. Awesome message! 😊🙏
Thank you, I’m so glad it resonated with you, it’s a reminder for me too! 🙏🥰
I agree God does take care of us 100%. Anna In Ohio
Your last tip was the best one! Always rely on God.
🙏Amen!!
Wonderful to include a scripture to give acknowledgement and thanks to God.
Always and everywhere to give Him thanks 🙏💗🥰
I like how you mentioned your windfalls and financial increases. I remember when I bought my house and right after signed papers received a $1/hour raise. We got frequent raises after that so it was never a hardship. I have been blessed.
Definitely, God is faithful and always provides where we don’t think possible ❤️
Blessings to all who live this intentionally. It's challenging but, clearly beneficial
Definitely! Thanks for watching 🥰
Get out of debt and live below your means! Julianna is beautiful!
Yes get out of that debt!! 😂🙌
Whereas I love thrift stores, often major department stores have highly reduced clothing prices at the end of winter or summer. For example, I shopped winter coats mid-February at Penneys and found coats reduced from $180 to $19.00. I stocked up. My jeans too can be under $10 on clearance. The trick is to buy what you need and not buy just because items are deeply marked down.
Great strategy!! Shop off-season for dramatic discounts 🙌
Yes! Agreed! Head straight to the clearance racks and only buy what you need
Before reading the rest of this, just remember, what's frugal for one person isn't for another. Some things that most people wouldn't consider to be consistent with a frugal lifestyle, are fine, if you can afford it and find frugal ways to have it.
I normally get a massage every month. Reason being? Without it, I get muscle spasms in my back. They'll keep me up. It's the only thing I've found that helps.
There are some things I won't buy in a thrift store, like a used mattress, couch, etc. I'll admit to being afraid of bedbugs.
With that being said, my bedroom furniture belonged to my grandparents. My desk, basket chair (without a cushion, had to buy that), a leather topped side table and my kitchen table and chairs were free, curbside shopping. I have a few other things that were gifts, or belonged to my mother. My piano and bench were $65.00.
I don't buy clothes from a thrift store. It's rare for me to see something I like and often times, it costs about the same as something new.
My clothes do, however last me a long time. My shorts had originally been a pair of good jeans. Then they became my everyday jeans, then they became cutoffs. My tee shirt is at least 20 years old.
I have horses. I rent a field. It's cheaper than paying any type of board at any place else and with the way I have the field set up, I save a ton on hay.
I used to put whatever I had left at the end of the week in the offering plate, but it was never much. Instead, I started putting that money aside first. God has blessed me for doing that. For instance, I was given a manure spreader that was almost brand new. That type cost about $1000 new.
Wow good for you!! I absolutely agree about thrift clothing…In my experience I’m finding more that it’s either practically the same pricing as brand new OR there’s something faulty about it you don’t realize till you get it home and can’t return it! (Snags, broken zipper, missing button, stains, fraying, itchy or uncomfortable when worn, etc)
I'm also anxious about bedbugs but I learnt that putting a garment in a ziploc bag and in the deep freezer for 4 days kills bedbugs, larvae, eggs etc....then wash as normal. Wouldn't work with upholstered furniture of course.
@@feedogmummy496 Interesting! Thanks for the tip!!
@@feedogmummy496 they're also one reason I prefer camping. I know where my bedding has been.
The only time I stop at a hotel is if I'm traveling and get held up on the road, like today. Heading to a friend's house that's about 12 hours away. Hopefully I won't have any problems coming home.
The Bible tip is the best.
I love how you shared that verse.
All your tips are helpful.
Most I already incorporated into my life. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, Gods provision is such a comfort 🙏
Most frugal living is just a mindset--being satisfied with what you have, and not believing some THING is going to make you happy. Sewing is a great skill to learn, but it's more important not to be ashamed of repairs, or to learn how to disguise them. Living with appliances that don't match, having furniture that isn't trendy, and not caring that your rooms are "outdated" is a great way to save money, AND not pollute the environment by throwing away things that are still useful.
Love that! Detaching from worldly desires is a big one not just for frugality but for our souls too! 💗
No hair colouring no manicure or pedicures or massages
Yes, me neither!!👍
Yes. truly haven't done the above even when we made good money. I cut my own hair too.
@@graceweber2822 Good for you!!👏
Burping clothes make amazing reusable napkins and are wonderful for cleaning spills-plus eliminates the need to buy paper towels
Would not have thought of that! Thanks for the tip, we have tons of those 😄
True.the online grocery helps me.i will not be tempted getting things that i dont need
Absolutely! It totally obliterates the “impulse buy” option 😅
I love my Kroger delivery for groceries. It's 59.99 a year and is totally worth it to me. We live in a Rural area and I was surprised they would deliver. It saves us so much time with driving, saves gas $$$ and I get double fuel points and the biggest thing it keeps us out of town and out of the store. No impulse buying, no driving to other stores while we are out in town, no stopping for fast food Win, Win, Win. I have been doing this for 3 months now and I can see a huge difference in the discretionary income I'm able to save. I love buying secondhand, thrift stores are my downfall so I try to stay out of them. I really don't need anything. Love the Depend on the Lord segment.
YAY good for you!!! The impulse buying and extra stops is definitely a downfall for us too, delivery is the way to go 🙌🙌🙌
I love grocery delivery, too. It sure saved fuel cost and impulse buy while in the store. I, too, can’t leave a thrift shop without finding something I got to have so I stay away from them. The only time I go into a charity shop is when I travel overseas. I can’t bring anything bulky back and there’s not much room in my carryon luggage so I would buy some small like a scarf or a beanie. They are functional and souvenir to remember the town by.
@@33Jenesis Makes sense, love to thrift!!💗

@@JuliannaStyles 🤎🤎🤎
A great way to save is to start an extended pantry. When I find items that we normally use on sale I buy extra, this way everything eventually is purchased at a lower price and we never have to run to the store for something we have ran out of in the kitchen. A big way to save is to stop buying already prepared foods, especially convenience foods. Even more so for the prepared foods is canned goods. Start canning yourself and save the extra fee of having it pre-canned. Yes you have to buy the jars, but they pay for themselves basically on the first use and it is so much better for the environment. I can meat too soup and it saves a ton and for those that don't know, canned soup is very toxic. I taught my husband and son to cut their own hair and I also do my own. I don't source anyone else to do any of my own grooming, nails, eyebrows etc. Another saver for this expensive time for groceries is to make basic meals. People make these complicated entrees that takes ten to twenty ingredients and it's just not necessary. It is estimated that people throw away almost have of the food they purchase because of waste. I have gotten to the point where I don't make anything new until we eat what we have or I freeze it for a lunch to grab and go for my son and husband. We also never buy snack foods, they're expensive and not healthy. If we want a "snack food" we make it from scratch. Almost everything my son grew up needing was from the thrift store for over 13 years. A trick for this is to buy the items ahead for the years to come. I would find things he would need for clothing over the next couple of years and put them in a tub for years down the road. He was always the best dressed and a lot of the items were 1/20 of the store price. A major part of this is also teaching your kids to understand they shouldn't live by brands and trends. He couldn't even tell someone what three shoe brands or jean brands there are, he could care less. Living a life of contentment and loving the Lord brings joy everyday.
All great points!!!
Ooooooh …. Wonnnnnnderful !! I did not know about Walmart plus. I must chk it out. Groceries are way too costly. So I’m optimistic about this making a difference. Annnnd …. Your last tip ! Praise God ! I was not expecting that … 1st time viewer , brand new subscriber , & fellow Believer here. God bless you & your family ! Liz ps … the music & scenery @ tye ebd was soooo peaceful. 😍🙏🏻🌻☀️❤️

Almost all garden produce, meat, dairy, and bread products can be easily frozen! I save everything in a deep chest freezer, whether it's ingredients or fully cooked meals. And gardening saves us lots!
Absolutely!! It’s crazy what lost skills should be taught to us from childhood for the well-being of our health and families❤️
I actually prefer thrift store clothes shopping .I find there is a better variety ,and I like the thrill of the hunt. I have to be careful and not over buy items just because something is ‘cute’ doesn’t mean it needs to come home with me. Eating out is a budget buster for sure ,I do eat out occasionally as a treat.
Totally agree, the thrill of the hunt and bargains keep me going back 😄
I charity thrift shop maybe once a month( after I drop off my donations) and usually only buy an item or two. I occasionally find a really good piece of clothing for a dollar or two that lasts me for years of hard wear.
Like the 2 pairs of velour sweat pants I wore all through Covid when I was staying home so much. I wear clothes at home that I don't worry about if I get a stain or a bleach spot on!
@@janetstonerook4552 Great!!

Another way to conserve and save is to have swap parties. Everyone brings items they can't or don't use, then everyone takes what they can and will use. Whatever is left over gets donated to a charity. People can bring clothing, food, small appliances, games, toys, movies, books, and anything you can think of. Since you belong to a church, there can be large swaps for the congregation throughout the year.
You can order your groceries to be delivered in paper bags. You can use them for the same things you listed that you use the Walmart bags for, such as cat litter or scooping up dog poop. We all have to stop using plastic bags and plastic bottles. Bio Bags are made from corn starch and biodegrade in a landfill. You can also use their smaller bags for picking up dog poop on a walk. Unless you live in cities like Flint, Michigan, we don't need to buy bottled water. Invest in a water filter that attaches onto a faucet or under your kitchen sink. Cloth napkins can be used for every meal. When they get worn out, they can be used as rags.
Swap parties is such a great idea!! Thank you for all those other great frugal suggestions!!🙏
Great video!

Wise advice
Hope it helps 🙏
Exactly think many times before spending
Yes! It’s easy to make many impulsive and unnecessary purchases when you see them in a store!
Be careful buying from thrift stores as they can be more expensive than in the shops , We buy as much as possible second hand , look for free stuff on market place or local adds , buy meat in bulk when on sale , ask family and friends if they have the item your looking to buy so you can borrow or be gifted it , get together with other mums and swop children's clothes, toys, bedding or stuff for yourself , look for goods that are graded as they have imperfections . works out so much cheaper , cook a few meals in advance so that you use your oven less so saving money, trips out take your own food , find hobbies that cost very little or are free, stop paying for expensive after school activities ,
All great tips, thanks for sharing!!
I am trying to be more frugal in my 40s.
Good for you! Never too late to start 🙌
I spent the most money between 50-60 (i made the most money then), became a minimalist at 62.
I buy Dollar Tree napkins for everything !!
🙌🙌awesome!!
I like your tips. In New Zealand, where I live, I would say the majority of people air dry their clothes. We have dryers but I think as a country we generally don't use them regularly because they can be very expensive to buy and to run here. The weather is generally good enough that air drying is enough. In the winter, if the weather is really bad people sometimes hang their clothes in their garages or under outside shelters (like a veranda). If we don't have a line outside or live in apartments/units, a lot of people buy clothes horses. I think American's call them air dryers. They are a great option if you don't have a line as they are usually compact and can hold a lot of clothes.
That’s so great! I love hanging things out in the summer, it’s like your clothes just soak up that fresh scent 🥰
I only dry underwear and pajamas that always dry hard and brittle if I don't. Everything else is always hung up to dry. Things last so much longer this way
@@beans4853 YES! Very true, the damage from machines can be hard on your clothes and take life out of them, good point!!
In Greece women wear baggy clothes so it doesn't matter if they gain weight or lose weight They have the same clothes.

I just discovered Damon Cassidy channel yesterday. Today, your channel popped up in my suggestions! Can't thank CZcams enough for the two hidden gems I just got. Juliana, you are doing such an amazing job, please keep it up!
Aw yay welcome, I hope you’ll find future content uplifting and informative 🥰
We have a local 99cent type of grocery/general store (minority owned) where I buy cheese, yogurt, and chips. They got goods almost expired (sometimes expired). I never got sick eating what I bought there. I bought vegetables, meat and seafood from a Mexican supermarket. They are great quality and not too expensive. I buy other grocery items from Amazon Fresh using 20% off $50 or $2 off $10 when I make an Amazon return. My mom and I spend about $250 a month on food because we look for bargain and cook at home.
Those are some GREAT tips, thanks for sharing!! 👏
Yr right. When you have any burdens you can throw them on Jehovah as he says in Psalm 55:22.
Or if u have any anxiety u can apply 1 Peter 5:7...😊

Dinner Napkins... I use them everyday all the time. I do have paper towels but don't use them a lot unless my dogs have a accident and I'm out of plastic bags. Anna In Ohio

New Subbie from Ireland :)
YAY!!! Welcome welcome, I made a trip over there for a week almost 10 years ago!! Cork was my favorite 🥰
Another irish follower but I live in canada
Love reverse meal planning. Saved so much money using it. I have some flexibility if schedules changed but in general what that day is is what I prepare.
I was watching a video and the topic was purchased and planning. Over time I knew what my family used, how much and the price I was willing to pay. As seasons approach, I shop the sales for that season and rarely pay full price during the season. Example: sales start in July for school supplies, that’s when I stock up on school and office supplies; in September, cold season medicines go on sale. It reminds me to check consumables and non consumables, consumables are medicine/tissues, etc and non consumable would be cool mist humidifier, reusable ice packs, heating pad, etc. No late night trips to 7-11, late night pharmacy (though my Walmart is open til 11pm). I even have go to 5 min. dinner I make in the microwave ex. 1 can hearty beef and vegetable soup + one package cooked ramen noodle for 2 (generous amount) or 2 adults 2 children with sliced buttered bread.
One thing I did learn that I think is share worthy, though I could be the last to know, lol, is using generic Claritin for snotty illnesses. Dries everything up and I can get a bottle for $0.04 a dose vs a cold medicine $0.21-$0.55 a dose. Can be use for children also but in the children’s dosage.
I like to stack savings. I do this in restaurants and stores.
Meal out -
1. Join loyalty program/app
2. Get discounted gift cards online or in stores, frequently get 20% off and pay with rewards credit card.
3. Use a coupon (online, mailer, newspaper), birthday B1G1
4. Alway to much food, order to go box with meal and bag. When meal is delivered, immediately put 1/2 in to go box, then in bag and set aside, now I don’t overeat and have a meal for later.
5. By using coupon, loyalty program knows I’m there.
6. Some restaurants offer points towards meals.
7. Kids eat free night
8. National ? Day! B1G1 burrito at Chipotle on Burritos Day. Free ice cream scoop at Coldstone on National Ice Day! There are National Pretzel, Waffle, Pancake, Pi Day, Doughnut, Pizza, etc.
Wow that is WONDERFUL! Sounds like you’ve really mastered this routine and your money…well done and thanks so much for sharing 🙌🙌🙌
@@JuliannaStyles been doing it a long time now 😃. There is a learning curve to everything we do in life. It’s so important people to understand and give themselves the time, effort and grace to do that learning. It’s easy to be overwhelmed. I always asked myself what I could do differently in an area/situation. And different seasons of life can change the time we have to do things.
@@kenyonbissett3512 Very well said, thanks so much for your wisdom!!🙂
Aldi is almost as expensive as Walmart now 😩
Prices just continue to rise…definitely take advantage of any/all sales and rollback deals!!

@@JuliannaStyleshow are they paid, is it hourly?
@@kenyonbissett3512 I believe they choose which jobs they do through contracts with various delivery apps...?
@@JuliannaStyles oh then what they make is variable like a waitress except waitresses are guaranteed minimum wage if there isn’t enough business that day.
@@kenyonbissett3512 Right, I've never seen an actual Walmart truck deliver. It''s always been an individual with their own vehicle :)
Consuming less food, water, electricity, fuel, home supplies; not buying store brand, not buying anything, and just spending on food and housing can save you money. Don't buy an expensive car. Buy a used car and buy it in cash.
Absolutely, good points here…thanks for sharing!
Make do and mend
That’s right! If it isn’t totally gone, repair it🙌
Once upon a child for kids!!!
Yes!!! So many great consignment places!
A lot of good tips but many are unfortunately too time consuming and because of that not very economical. It’s possible this can work better for someone who is unable to work outside home but if you are able to get a job would be better.
I still use my dryer and other time saving measures in the home because I then can work witch brings in a lot more than what I would have if I used my time on mending clothes and the like.
But once I did all of these things as a stay at home mom until I realized that I was using my time unwisely… essentially not valuing my time properly
Not wasting tons of time and money watching TV, being on social media apps on your phone, and having excessive beauty appointments are ALL both economical AND time saving…which was the majority of what I mentioned in the video and easily can be applied for a stay at home mom or if you’re working 🤷♀️
@@JuliannaStyles the stuff you mention in your comment is leisure. I am talking about what is economical to do if I person is interested in saving money. If you look at money as time. What would your time be worth per hour, per week, per year. Generally doing frugal things of the types you describe would leave you with very little when you factor in the time you spend on it. The time investment when put into a job would yield much more.
I say this because I was doing similar things as you are just spinning in place until I abandoned that plan and started swapping my time with work that pays more and has benefits like retirement saving etc. I was eventually able to start investing and today I don’t need to work if I don’t want to.
Being frugal is great but they are ways of doing it where economic benefit to effort ratio is higher. In my experience is being frugal, bargaining doing research around large purchases and just refraining from buying unnecessary stuff. Things that do not cost me time or where the time investment is worth it.
Mending clothes and doing extensive planning and couponing around groceries, making all the meals from scratch etc. is not it, because the time effort is substantial.
It is also important to have leisure time and activities. If some women like to do beauty treatments, watch TV or whatever else to take care of themselves and enjoy life… they should do that. Not all people who enjoy life in this way are automatically financially irresponsible.
When I take care of myself I am able to be more productive… get more resources for me and my family. I am also a better mom and a better friend as well as coworker.
We don't watch tv I walk
Great way to save and exercise!

How do you save on diapers.

Hang your clothes outside if it is not snowing? 😂 it ll be cold outside! If you want to freeze your clothes you can hang them outside...during winter when it is not snowing! 😂😂
Haha I will admit I don't REGULARLY hang our clothes outside, just sometimes when it's warm out. It's definitely NOT plausible during winter 😆
No pre made foid
What do people tip the grocery delivery person? Percentage or flat amount?
“After your order is complete, you will be asked to rate and tip your shopper, which is appreciated but not required.”
I’ve never felt pressured to tip, but they have automated options of 10,15, etc I believe :)
Is this a US thing tipping the delivery person? In the UK I pay a delivery cost which varies depending on the delivery window. You pay more if you want a specific 1-hour slot. Less for a 4 hour plus window. I go for the cheapest option. Tipping is not mentioned and it would never cross my mind to do so.
@@beewa8840 Wow! Yes tipping is “optional” and not required here in the US
