💸 5 Things We Stopped Spending Money On

Okay, 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 #HomeOnABudget
