Publish Not your original work? Add source You don't need us or anyone else to tell you that things are tough and that there's a lot of financial pressure on many families' shoulders these days, Pandas. Especially with winter quickly approaching. Many of you have probably already felt your wallets and savings accounts getting thinner. And were left flabbergasted by the prices in the grocery stores and petrol stations. Things are getting quite bad for a lot of people. So much so that they're figuring out ways to cut back on various costs. From food and transportation to rent and entertainment. Others turn to the vast digital waters of the internet for help. For instance, the helpful folks over at r/Frugal shared their very best money-saving tips, including what products they substitute with others and what they actually make at home, themselves. Check out their best advice below and upvote the posts that you found to be the most useful, Pandas. Oh, and we'd absolutely love for you to share your insights with us. So go on and give all the other readers some friendly cost-cutting tips and tricks in the comment section at the bottom. Bored Panda wanted to get to grips with how we can save more money in these times, so we reached out to Sam Dogen, the author of 'Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Freedom' and the founder of the insightful Financial Samurai blog. The financial expert told us where we can cut back, how much we should ideally be saving, how quickly we adapt to different standards of living, and how you actually need much less money to be happy than you might think. Read on for his expert comments. Meanwhile, for some more advice on saving money in these troubling times, take a peek at Bored Panda's recent articles right here and over here.

I used an unworn pair of sweats, cut it into squares, sewed along the edges, and it’s worked great so far for skincare and makeup removal :) peanutsonic97 , Ashley Diane Worsham Report Final score: 137points POST Biliegh Berrie Biliegh Berrie Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Everyone should learn how to sew. You can do a lot. I can do quilts and mend. Cannot make clothes though. 56 56points reply View More Replies... View more comments According to Sam, from Financial Samurai, a major way to save money is to take on a different perspective on entertaining oneself. "Entertaining oneself for cheaper has never been cheaper today thanks to all the streaming options online. In the past, we'd have to pay $10 a ticket each to watch a movie, pay for gas, maybe parking, and some food. The total expenditure for two could easily range between $50–$100! Now, we can pay $5–$15 a month for unlimited shows from Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney, and more," the financial expert noted that entertainment now is already cheaper than the alternative. "The pandemic has also taught us how to enjoy more of all the free things our cities have to offer. From public parks, to free museum weeks, to wonderful hikes in the mountains or on the beaches. You don't need to spend a lot at all to have a great time," he told Bored Panda. "In fact, being able to enjoy all of my city's amenities for free was one of the biggest surprises of early retirement I didn't anticipate. While working, a lot of us believe we need a lot of money post work to be happy. It's just not true. Due to retirees having more time and freedom, retirees actually need much less money to be happy!" #2 Blackberry jam :) We live surrounded by wild berries, every August we harvest enough berries for a full year of jam.

Any tips to avoid that? 50 50points reply View More Replies... View more comments Sam, the author of 'Buy This, Not That,' explained to Bored Panda that people adapt to new standards of living and circumstances reasonably quickly. Things quickly become the norm for us. "We will adapt to new lifestyles and living standards within a month and no longer than three months. Hedonic adaptation works both ways. This is why it's important to save money until it hurts each month. If it hurts, it means you are pushing yourself to the limit," he noted. "After about a month of living on your new lower budget, you will get used to it. Then you should try to increase your saving rate by 5% to feel the pain again. You will eventually adapt and feel just as good as when you didn't save as much," he said. "However, over a 10-year period, you will end up accumulating way more money than you thought possible if you invest your savings. Here is a guide for how much I think you should save by age to keep you on track." Some parts of the world are hit by economic uncertainty more than others. For instance, the energy crisis in the United Kingdom is getting pretty bad. Inflation in the country has reached over 10%, and CNN notes that various sources see it rising to as much as 13% and even 18% as natural gas prices remain elevated. Regular Brits will be paying a lot more for their energy bills than last year. According to analysts, energy bills for households may rise by 80% in October, year on year. Some businesses are already struggling as well. For example, one pub, part of the Greene King chain, reported its energy costs having jumped by 33k pounds (just over 38k US dollars) per year. #4 Vegetable stock. Keep your veggie scraps and boil them up. howthefocaccia , Zac Edmonds Report Final score: 114points POST 3 Owls In A Coat 3 Owls In A Coat Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Yes! I’m usually broke so I make a lot of puréed veggie soup. I keep a plastic margarine container in the freezer and throw leftover bits of onion/garlic/carrots/herb bits etc in there, heat in a pot and let simmer. to make broth. Chop any veggies you have into small bits, give them a quick fry with butter if you have it, and roast them in oven until tender, then throw in a blender with the broth. My faves are curry & ginger carrot soup, cheddar potato soup, or spicy tomato/red pepper soup :) even if you can’t cook these are easy - a staple for my broke a*s with rice or bread, keeps me alive!

Chances are, the product that’s had millions of dollars of research and development put into it is probably better than a shitty DIY project that you have to buy special ingredients for.
If you’re aiming to spend less overall, replace products with scrubbing a little harder or stressing a little less about hair pouf or cute smells.
When your cooking/baking … just cook with what you have. And if you think “oh, I need such and such!” Then immediately look up alternatives. hjwood1986 Report Final score: 109points POST Konpat Konpat Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Honestly, that's the first really useful advice here.

View more comments Meanwhile, leading British retailer John Lewis Partnership, recently announced that it plans to feed 88k workers over the winter to help them manage the rising cost of living. They'll be offering free food to all employees during work from October till the end of December. Someone working a single four-hour shift, for instance, will be eligible for one meal. Meanwhile, those working eight-hour shifts are eligible for two meals, CNN Business reports. British writer Ariane Sherine recently told Bored Panda that the cost of living situation isn't all that bad yet, but things are definitely going to get worse in October. "And then even worse in January as the energy price cap rises," she said. "It's going to affect so many people badly that it's quite terrifying-and so far the government have barely done anything to mitigate this." She added: "Everything costs 1.5x the amount in the shops, our energy bills are spiraling out of control, there's a shortage of home appliances and our new prime minister promises to be just as incompetent. So if you can move to, say, France or Germany or Canada instead, I'd strongly advise it!" The German government just now unveiled a 65 billion euro (64.7 billion dollar) package to help households get through the winter and cope with soaring prices. This is the third such relief package in Germany this year, since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The former two packages totaled 30 billion euros (29.8 billion dollars). #7 Muffins to take to work for my coffee breaks. Takes me about 15 minutes to mix, 20 minutes to bake, and I have several weeks worth.

View more comments Kitchen expert and incredibly talented pie artist Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin recently shared her awesome advice for saving money when it comes to food-related costs. She told Bored Panda that cooperating with your family, friends, and neighbors to buy in bulk can help a lot. Freezing food that you bought at a discount also helps. As does reducing the amount of red meat that you eat. There are tons of options available to everyone. Though it does take a bit of thinking outside the box. "Everyone is feeling the pinch the world over right now-so don't go it alone! Team up with friends and relatives and develop your cost-cutting strategies together. Your purchasing power is greatly increased when you shop together and you can share tips and keep an eye out for deals together," she said. "If you are looking to cut back on your family grocery budget, consider adding one or two extra meatless days to your existing schedule. Meat, especially red meat, just costs so much more to raise, process, and transport safely compared with alternate sources of protein. Unless you're dealing with mystery-meat level fast food processed stuff, it's never going to be able to compete on price," Jessica noted. #10 I made my own swiffer pads from a $1 flannel sheet from a thrift store. I just cut them a little bigger than needed to fit to allow for fraying (too lazy to sew the edges).

I use powdered milk, so I’m not pouring spoiled milk down the drain all the time, and I freeze eggs as well. Just crack them open, beat lightly, pour into the individual wells of a muffin tin, and cover with cling wrap or tin foil. When frozen, you can store them in freezer bags or whatever you prefer. It’s easy to grab what I need and thaw for use, but this can also be done in a more bulk fashion if you prefer. u/catsruledogsdrool57 , Jakub Kapusnak Report Final score: 72points POST Yettichild Yettichild Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I might have to try the egg one.

View more comments "Buying groceries items in large lots and splitting between multiple families is a great way to take advantage of bulk discounts when your own pay-check doesn't permit you to go out and invest in 10 lbs of cheddar on your own. Bonus points if you have a friend who is able to buy from restaurant suppliers directly or is part of a co-op!" As for freezing, it's a very viable strategy, so long as you do things properly. "You can certainly freeze fruits, veggies, and meat to eat later without sacrificing nutritional value. Just make sure you read up on the correct way to do this to avoid spoilage and freezer burn." #13 Honestly, it's so easy to eat out when tired or uninspired to cook.
But my hack is to make things ready when I have time and ambition for when I won't. This also helps my SO cook as she isn't as geared to it.
So chop a bunch of stuff, and freeze. I food process for volume/speed and perhaps someone you know would let you borrow for a day.
Carrots, Mushrooms, onions, garlic celery, peppers are the typical. I can go to the freezer with a pan and scoop what I need sautee as the rice/pasta is cooking. That little prep hack removes the propensity to think "I don't wanna cook" as I am literally doing as much work as making a bowl of cereal almost. And I can do other things while it cooks.
Now, depending on needs I also cook up "packs" of my veg mix sauteed. They aren't cooked until done but about half way, then frozen. This makes it so as soon as they hit the pan as a frozen lump once thawed it is ready to go.
For example I use the snack size sandwich bags as a way to portion sauteed veg. Fill them and toss all into a bigger freezer bag to protect it from freezer burn. Then depending on how many people are eating I guage what I need from experience. Prepping is easily done at one time for tons of bags. Just depends on your grocery budget and time to chop but cooking one onion or 5 can be very marginally longer same if you're using multiple pans.
If you take one pack of veg and toss a can of cream soup (omitting water called for) it makes an awesome sauce to go over rice or pasta. Healthy and quick.
So yeah my hack is to make at home cooking easier to achieve to curb eating out.
Oh and most importantly, I batch out these prep meals when I am cooking other meals! You're there anyway so do the extra cooking at the same time if you can.

View more comments #22 I have really been intentional lately about using what I have already. I switched to cleaning the kitchen with vinegar/water spray, as well as Dawn soap. Just put out laundered bar mops in a basket for easy use. I found myself using a linen towel to dry hand washed dishes and put them up immediately, rather than letting them air dry overnight and putting them up in the morning. I know exactly how many tea spoons and plates I own, (I’ve washed and put them away so often) so if the count isn’t correct, it’s time to check kid’s bedrooms or desks for the stragglers.
I have to clean some blood, and we are out of hydrogen peroxide or Biz, my go tos. I was reading the Cascade powder label, and realized the major ingredient is an enzyme, so I am substituting on organic stains. It will work or not, don’t care, but I will learn something using what I have on hand creatively.
Edit: overnight results of Cascade on cotton/poly colored knit. No color loss, blood stain completely gone! So more use from something I was going to discard.

Added plus, it's way more hygienic.
Average adult in the US will use 159 rolls of toilet paper a year at a cost of $182. Add 145 rolls of paper towels you can replace with rags, and we are talking about roughly $350 to be saved per person per year. It's about $22000 in a lifetime. However, if you start saving $350 a year at 20 you'll have $136000 per person at retirement age.

Jonas Grinevičius andVėja Elkimavičiūtė
Publish Not your original work? Add source You don't need us or anyone else to tell you that things are tough and that there's a lot of financial pressure on many families' shoulders these days, Pandas. Especially with winter quickly approaching. Many of you have probably already felt your wallets and savings accounts getting thinner. And were left flabbergasted by the prices in the grocery stores and petrol stations. Things are getting quite bad for a lot of people. So much so that they're figuring out ways to cut back on various costs. From food and transportation to rent and entertainment. Others turn to the vast digital waters of the internet for help. For instance, the helpful folks over at r/Frugal shared their very best money-saving tips, including what products they substitute with others and what they actually make at home, themselves. Check out their best advice below and upvote the posts that you found to be the most useful, Pandas. Oh, and we'd absolutely love for you to share your insights with us. So go on and give all the other readers some friendly cost-cutting tips and tricks in the comment section at the bottom. Bored Panda wanted to get to grips with how we can save more money in these times, so we reached out to Sam Dogen, the author of 'Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Freedom' and the founder of the insightful Financial Samurai blog. The financial expert told us where we can cut back, how much we should ideally be saving, how quickly we adapt to different standards of living, and how you actually need much less money to be happy than you might think. Read on for his expert comments. Meanwhile, for some more advice on saving money in these troubling times, take a peek at Bored Panda's recent articles right here and over here.

View more comments According to Sam, from Financial Samurai, a major way to save money is to take on a different perspective on entertaining oneself. "Entertaining oneself for cheaper has never been cheaper today thanks to all the streaming options online. In the past, we'd have to pay $10 a ticket each to watch a movie, pay for gas, maybe parking, and some food. The total expenditure for two could easily range between $50–$100! Now, we can pay $5–$15 a month for unlimited shows from Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney, and more," the financial expert noted that entertainment now is already cheaper than the alternative. "The pandemic has also taught us how to enjoy more of all the free things our cities have to offer. From public parks, to free museum weeks, to wonderful hikes in the mountains or on the beaches. You don't need to spend a lot at all to have a great time," he told Bored Panda. "In fact, being able to enjoy all of my city's amenities for free was one of the biggest surprises of early retirement I didn't anticipate. While working, a lot of us believe we need a lot of money post work to be happy. It's just not true. Due to retirees having more time and freedom, retirees actually need much less money to be happy!" #2 Blackberry jam :) We live surrounded by wild berries, every August we harvest enough berries for a full year of jam.

View more comments Sam, the author of 'Buy This, Not That,' explained to Bored Panda that people adapt to new standards of living and circumstances reasonably quickly. Things quickly become the norm for us. "We will adapt to new lifestyles and living standards within a month and no longer than three months. Hedonic adaptation works both ways. This is why it's important to save money until it hurts each month. If it hurts, it means you are pushing yourself to the limit," he noted. "After about a month of living on your new lower budget, you will get used to it. Then you should try to increase your saving rate by 5% to feel the pain again. You will eventually adapt and feel just as good as when you didn't save as much," he said. "However, over a 10-year period, you will end up accumulating way more money than you thought possible if you invest your savings. Here is a guide for how much I think you should save by age to keep you on track." Some parts of the world are hit by economic uncertainty more than others. For instance, the energy crisis in the United Kingdom is getting pretty bad. Inflation in the country has reached over 10%, and CNN notes that various sources see it rising to as much as 13% and even 18% as natural gas prices remain elevated. Regular Brits will be paying a lot more for their energy bills than last year. According to analysts, energy bills for households may rise by 80% in October, year on year. Some businesses are already struggling as well. For example, one pub, part of the Greene King chain, reported its energy costs having jumped by 33k pounds (just over 38k US dollars) per year. #4 Vegetable stock.

I’m usually broke so I make a lot of puréed veggie soup. I keep a plastic margarine container in the freezer and throw leftover bits of onion/garlic/carrots/herb bits etc in there, heat in a pot and let simmer. to make broth. Chop any veggies you have into small bits, give them a quick fry with butter if you have it, and roast them in oven until tender, then throw in a blender with the broth. My faves are curry & ginger carrot soup, cheddar potato soup, or spicy tomato/red pepper soup :) even if you can’t cook these are easy - a staple for my broke a*s with rice or bread, keeps me alive!

Chances are, the product that’s had millions of dollars of research and development put into it is probably better than a shitty DIY project that you have to buy special ingredients for.
If you’re aiming to spend less overall, replace products with scrubbing a little harder or stressing a little less about hair pouf or cute smells.
When your cooking/baking … just cook with what you have.

British writer Ariane Sherine recently told Bored Panda that the cost of living situation isn't all that bad yet, but things are definitely going to get worse in October. "And then even worse in January as the energy price cap rises," she said. "It's going to affect so many people badly that it's quite terrifying-and so far the government have barely done anything to mitigate this." She added: "Everything costs 1.5x the amount in the shops, our energy bills are spiraling out of control, there's a shortage of home appliances and our new prime minister promises to be just as incompetent. So if you can move to, say, France or Germany or Canada instead, I'd strongly advise it!" The German government just now unveiled a 65 billion euro (64.7 billion dollar) package to help households get through the winter and cope with soaring prices. This is the third such relief package in Germany this year, since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The former two packages totaled 30 billion euros (29.8 billion dollars). #7 Muffins to take to work for my coffee breaks.

View more comments Kitchen expert and incredibly talented pie artist Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin recently shared her awesome advice for saving money when it comes to food-related costs. She told Bored Panda that cooperating with your family, friends, and neighbors to buy in bulk can help a lot. Freezing food that you bought at a discount also helps. As does reducing the amount of red meat that you eat. There are tons of options available to everyone. Though it does take a bit of thinking outside the box. "Everyone is feeling the pinch the world over right now-so don't go it alone! Team up with friends and relatives and develop your cost-cutting strategies together. Your purchasing power is greatly increased when you shop together and you can share tips and keep an eye out for deals together," she said. "If you are looking to cut back on your family grocery budget, consider adding one or two extra meatless days to your existing schedule. Meat, especially red meat, just costs so much more to raise, process, and transport safely compared with alternate sources of protein. Unless you're dealing with mystery-meat level fast food processed stuff, it's never going to be able to compete on price," Jessica noted. #10 I made my own swiffer pads from a $1 flannel sheet from a thrift store.

View more comments "Buying groceries items in large lots and splitting between multiple families is a great way to take advantage of bulk discounts when your own pay-check doesn't permit you to go out and invest in 10 lbs of cheddar on your own. Bonus points if you have a friend who is able to buy from restaurant suppliers directly or is part of a co-op!" As for freezing, it's a very viable strategy, so long as you do things properly. "You can certainly freeze fruits, veggies, and meat to eat later without sacrificing nutritional value. Just make sure you read up on the correct way to do this to avoid spoilage and freezer burn." #13 Honestly, it's so easy to eat out when tired or uninspired to cook.
But my hack is to make things ready when I have time and ambition for when I won't. This also helps my SO cook as she isn't as geared to it.
So chop a bunch of stuff, and freeze. I food process for volume/speed and perhaps someone you know would let you borrow for a day.
Carrots, Mushrooms, onions, garlic celery, peppers are the typical. I can go to the freezer with a pan and scoop what I need sautee as the rice/pasta is cooking. That little prep hack removes the propensity to think "I don't wanna cook" as I am literally doing as much work as making a bowl of cereal almost. And I can do other things while it cooks.
Now, depending on needs I also cook up "packs" of my veg mix sauteed. They aren't cooked until done but about half way, then frozen. This makes it so as soon as they hit the pan as a frozen lump once thawed it is ready to go.
For example I use the snack size sandwich bags as a way to portion sauteed veg. Fill them and toss all into a bigger freezer bag to protect it from freezer burn. Then depending on how many people are eating I guage what I need from experience. Prepping is easily done at one time for tons of bags. Just depends on your grocery budget and time to chop but cooking one onion or 5 can be very marginally longer same if you're using multiple pans.
If you take one pack of veg and toss a can of cream soup (omitting water called for) it makes an awesome sauce to go over rice or pasta. Healthy and quick.
So yeah my hack is to make at home cooking easier to achieve to curb eating out.
Oh and most importantly, I batch out these prep meals when I am cooking other meals! You're there anyway so do the extra cooking at the same time if you can.

I know exactly how many tea spoons and plates I own, (I’ve washed and put them away so often) so if the count isn’t correct, it’s time to check kid’s bedrooms or desks for the stragglers.
I have to clean some blood, and we are out of hydrogen peroxide or Biz, my go tos.

Especially if they are disabled and you are willing to share the wealth. 3 3points reply Load More Replies...
