Betty Gets Better+Follow💸 5 Things We Stopped Spending Money OnOkay, because in this economy… we could all stand to save a buck 🥴 Here are 5 things my husband and I no longer spend money on — and don’t miss a single one: 1. Cleaning pods? Nope. We ditched laundry and dishwasher pods. They run out way too fast and cost more. We use powder detergent + liquid dishwasher soap — lasts us 4+ months and we run laundry daily. No going back! 2. Salon beauty treatments. No lash fills. No nail appointments. No spray tans. I do press-ons, at-home lash extensions, brow lamination, and my own tanning routine. Honestly? Feels so empowering to be my own aesthetician 💅✨ 3. Brand new home decor. I thrift 90% of my home. Skip the full-price aisles at Target and HomeGoods. My cozy, curated style? All from secondhand shops and a little imagination. 4. Starbucks runs. I recreate every drink at home — gingerbread lattes, sugar cookie cold brew, brown sugar espresso… It’s cheaper AND tastes better. Follow coffee DIY creators and you’ll never miss Starbucks again ☕️ 5. Overhyped skincare. TikTok made me buy it? Not anymore. Most skin doesn’t need 15-step routines. A good cleanser + moisturizer is plenty — and your face (and wallet) will thank you. ✨ You don’t have to sacrifice joy to save money. You just need to get creative with what you already have. #BudgetLife #FrugalLiving #SaveMoneyTips #ThriftyLiving #DIYBeauty #HomeOnABudget200Share
Julie Garcia+FollowSave $10 a Month: Regrow Scallions Fastly at Home🏠Every time scallions end up in my cart, I cringe at the price for such a simple ingredient. Here’s my trick that’s saved me more than a few bucks: don’t toss the roots! After using the green tops, I stick the white roots in a glass of water on the windowsill. Within a week, they shoot up fresh greens. It’s almost like getting free food out of thin air. If there’s a sale on scallions, I’ll grab a couple of bunches, chop what I need, and start the regrowing process with the rest. It’s not just about saving money, but also cutting down on waste. Grocery bills can be brutal, but little hacks like this make a difference over time. #Food knowledge #budget wating #savemoneytips #kitchenhacks10Share
