How do you save moneyyy??

Question

What are y’all’s BIGGEST tips when it comes to saving money? Especially with the not biggest biggest paying job.. I need to start saving for a car, home utilities, insurance and all that but I’m not sure where to start. How y’all do it?

Answer

Not eating out or buying things unless they’re an absolute necessary. This includes shopping for clothes, make up, shoes, Starbucks, nail salon, etc.

Answer

Try to eat out as little as possible. Pack your own lunches, make your coffee at home etc. Check for sales and buy groceries that are seasonal/on sale and plan your meals around that. Shop second hand whenever possible. You can get amazing deals on used clothes, furniture, pretty well everything on marketplace. If you do buy new never pay full price. Everything goes on sale eventually, you just have to be willing to wait and keep checking back. Truly learn to differentiate between wants and needs. Good luck!!

Answer

This is what I do based on biweekly pay. I literally was wasting $1000 a month and didn’t even realize it until I did this budget.
1. Make a meal plan for 2 weeks. We are a family of three and my budget is $250 for grocery’s and $50 for other household items like toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products etc. Simple basic meals that overlap ingredients. Figure out the exact amount of money you need for groceries and don’t go over, don’t buy extras, and don’t step foot back in the store until after 2 weeks. This forced you to use everything and not waste. No eating out. Extra tip is buy less meat and make it stretch. I feed 3 people for 2 nights with one 1 pound of beef by adding 2 cans beans and 2 cans tomatoes and 2 peppers. The whole meal costs about $11 so $1.80 a serving.
2. Have 4 accounts at least. Look up envelope method for budgeting. The accounts should be Bills, groceries, living expenses, savings. I have like seven checking accounts which include things like Christmas presents, Vacation, but you should have at least these 4 accounts 
3. When you get paid money goes into bill money account first, then grocery account. These numbers should be the same every time. Next living expenses. Calculate how much you need to live every two weeks for the very basics like Gas.  The rest goes in savings. Savings you don’t touch until you have at least 5,000 in emergency funds. Pretend this account doesn’t exist after you add to it. Don’t have a bank card attatched.
 You would be amazed at how much money you didn’t realize you waste after you do this

Answer

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? The younger you start the easier it is.
