Budgeting Page

Budgeting Page

Hello everyone and welcome to my Budgeting Page.

With the way the economy is going its going to make a lot of people have to pull their purse strings tight in future. Financial wellbeing is also integral to mental health. They are both entwined. I studied commerce at university and also have survived on a low income right throughout my early onset diagnosis.

I wanted to create this page for people to gain tips and useful information about how to stay in the black financially and for people to share any difficulties they are having. This is not a substitute for financial advice but ways and means of ensuring that we can meet our expenditures and find cost effective solutions to our budgeting dilemmas.

Feel free to drop by, contribute and share according to your liking! Let's get this thread a happening thing!

Re: Budgeting Page

To be honest I am annoyed with these companies @Blackbird11 My affordable DIY hyaluronic serum is ready to go. I thought it may be difficult to make but it wasn't. You end up saving hundreds a year. The serums are usually made just for the face possibly for economy reasons but you can do it for entire body coverage at no extra cost. Anyway I have been delighted with my easy to make serum. Things are getting so costly so I'm cutting corners as much as possible. Thought I'd share and show people how to cut back and enjoy great skin for next to nothing.

@Glisten @Blackbird11 @Shaz51 @Oaktree @TAB @Kyle1 @Dimity @StuF

Went to Not Quite Right (NQR) A big discount grocery store in Melbourne and got plant based yoghurt within useby date. The normal price is $6.80 retail I got it for $2.50. Saw some plant based cheese there too I used to spend $9 for Biocheese at Woolies I got a different brand of plant based cheese for a month for $4.50 each. Went into Reject Shop and got 6 cakes of soap for $6.50, retail cost at Woolies is $8.80. Saved $22.40 so far this month. Its worth signing up to NQR, Reject Shop and Warehouse Clearance catalogues checking them whenever you can. I only buy what I need as its not worth going to all the trouble trying to save money if you spend it on something else.

Put some savings into my micro bonds and credit union accounts

WINNING!

@TAB I always love Dove soap from The Reject Shop its so non-drying and very moisturising for the skin. At the height of the pandemic was washing my hands a lot. Tried using other soaps but they cracked and irritated my skin. Dove is a great soap. No matter how often you wash your hands the soap won't dry out your skin 🙂

How did your trip to the dentist go TAB is everything fixed now?

Re: Budgeting Page

No good. I guess you will get around to it when you are ready @TAB! I just bought some meat in bulk from Our Cow instead of Cherry Tree and saved quite a lot of money. I usually buy meat for a month but decided to go with another business and do the bulk buy option instead. Bought meat in one kg packs I've saved $45/month I buy mince meat normally as its the cheapest cut of meat to work with. So far with NQR/Reject/OurCow have saved a total $67.00 for the month. Not bad
