So with all the talk of inflation and societal changes, I thought I would share how we live on one income so I can stay home with the children. Now this may not be for everyone and that's okay. But I am just sharing some things from my perspective. We have tried many ways to do this and here are a few that work.
1) We buy in bulk
Buying main items in bulk has helped save a lot of money because there is no big major shopping very often. The things we buy are rice, noodles, quinoa, etc. Like the main dish type of thing. For other perishable items, we go to the local market for it.
2) Laundry by hand
Yes I know, the thought right? But with inflation making everything go up laundry costs go up as well. So we use a hand washer that is effective in cleaning all of our clothes. Now if it gets too much I do go to the laundry. But when I am on top of it it's not too bad.
3) Buying laundry detergent in bulk
This has been a huge lifesaver. When we buy a big jug of detergent it can last for up to a year. I use it for everything as well to help cut costs.
5) Walking lol
I have boycotted the trains in NYC because it is straight trash. So we stay local if we want to go anywhere or hitch a ride from a brother of ours. I like being driven around anyway😁
For now, I will leave those tips. I am not a financial advisor, but I hope my suggestions can help someone. If you have any money-saving tips feel free to comment below🙏❤️
