Saving money is probably one of the hardest things we all have to learn to do. Well during my hillsong money saving process, I have thought of some easy steps that will help me along the way. When thinking of ways to save money, I knew I needed to eliminate the top things I spend the most money on.
1. The number one thing sadly I eliminated was coffee. I am a coffee addict. I always drink a cup...or two in the morning as well as throughout the day. So instead of buying my usual caramel macchiatos from the oh so wonderful Starbucks, I decided to make it myself.
It was very simple to make and delicious! Just made a big pot of coffee, poured it in a pitcher, added the caramel macchiato creamer and a little bit of sugar. Put it in the fridge for a few hours then add ice, and you are good to go!
2. Not eating out...time to get some groceries.
Not eating "fast food" get be tough, but worth it in the end. Number one its bad for you. yes its right there when you need it and are in a hurry, but it adds up. when you get groceries think of what you will actually eat, not just what looks good. and you will notice how much money you can save by not eating out. now every once in a while isn't going to hurt, but everyday...say bye bye to your money.
-the one thing I'm big on getting it fruit. its great for breakfast and when you want a snack, plus so healthy for you! my go to fruits are apples and bananas.
3. shopping.
shopping is so easy to do, by the end of the day you will be wondering how you spent so much money. well there are easy and safer ways to shop. Thrifting and sales. I'm not sure why people don't like to get things on sale, like its not good value. its the same thing. Sales are THE best ever. the number one thing to buy when its on sale are jeans. jeans can get pricey, BUT sometimes they are so worth the price because they are hard to find the right fit. the best thing to do is find the brand that does fit you, stick to that, and hit up the sales. Mine is American eagle jeans, they are the bomb. and I just got some on sale for $28.00 compared to $50.00 this past memorial day weekend. yep!
second thing is so surprise, and that's thrifting. everyone and their mamas does it these days, and its the best trend thus far that has happened to us. back in the day, my friends and i wouldnt have imagined going thrifting and now its all the rave. Thrift stores are so awesome and have everything. I have even gotten items with tags still attatched to them, which is amazing to say the least.
