Decided to check out the Grocery Outlet for the first time, and, holy shit,… why haven’t I done this before now?

"Even Socrates, who lived a very frugal and simple life, loved to go to the market. When his students asked about this, he replied, 'I love to go and see all the things I am happy without.'" — Jack Kornfield — — — #JackKornfield #quote #quotes #frugal #frugality #simple #sparing #thrifty #restraint

If I've learned one thing in life...

If you want to save money, only food-shop when you're full.

If you want a lot of choice, only food-shop when you're hungry.

I bought five things. #thrifty

It pains me when I hear how much people spend on their cell phone plans.

I have been happily using Mint Mobile for years in various parts of the US with good coverage (uses the T-Mobile network). I do the 5GB/mo plan that I buy in 12 month batches (the cheapest option), which costs me $200 up front after taxes and fees, which breaks down to about $16.66 a month. I'm often on some wifi network or another so I never even come close to using the full 5GB.

They have several plan options, the most expensive/highest data one has 60GB of high-speed data (after that speeds slow), 20GB hotspot data, and videos stream at 480p. For the 12 months at once after taxes and fees it's ~$510, or ~$42.50/mo.

Plans can also be purchased in 3- or 6-month batches that cost less money up-front but break down to more money per month.

They also have great deals for new subscribers who bring their own phones (try any of the plans for 3 months for $45 + taxes and fees upfront) and even better deals for new users who buy a phone through them (right now it's half off any 12 month plan).

It's worth it regardless for the savings imo, but if you wanna try them out and get a $15 credit to your account 15 days after you start your first plan and get me a $45-$90 referral credit:

use my referral link: http://fbuy.me/tZFiJ

Once you start your first plan you'll be able to share your own referral link. They have a "family plan" but there's no discount, just the option to control multiple accounts from one log-in. Split your family into their own log-ins and get the referral credits!

There's lots of ways to be proactive with your 💰 besides just #budgeting!

Planning ahead means money gets spent on YOUR terms, instead of wondering where all the money went. Take control of your finances!

Today at God's Pantry Food Bank I once again proved why a #Scotsman is responsible for spending!

There's a webshop in Sweden selling discarded food. Not discarded as in bad, but discarded as in soon-to-expire and in odd stock and odd sizes. It's cheaper, but sometimes...

...just sometimes...

...you miscalculate how big the package you order will be. This is for me and The Offspring.

Made white balsamic vinaigrette using the dregs of Dijon mustard in the jar and the last few dribbles of olive oil in the bottle. Garlic and SnP, and YUM! #Thrifty #Posh

I’ve had this lovely blue teapot for years. It is a possession I will take with me when I downsize and move across the country this summer. Originally it had a bamboo handle but that broke. There was some copper wire hanging around the house so I fashioned an alternative handle which I quite like.

I have been trying to live simply for years, but what this comes down to is intentionality. It’s a work in progress.

My sister and I found these birthday cards in a cheap gifts and cards shop and we thought they were hilarious. Only 29p each and they look it! Great to give to those special people in your life :)

Almost a decade ago I made a costume which included a hula hoop. It’s just been in the basement since then, but this year it has been repurposed alongside other things I also already owned!

An old hula hoop, 5 fake pine garlands, some golden ornaments and some fairy lights, and voila - a wreath for hanging over the tv!

Intrusive thought of the day

Macklemore's hit song "Thrift Shop" was directly responsible for surges in bed bug reports across North America, due to people shopping more withut checking items or washing items once home.

Yesterday, I made my own buttermilk for a muffin recipe.

-1 cup of whole milk
-1 tablespoon of white vinegar.

Mix together and let rest 10 minutes. You will notice minor curdling.

You can use the buttermilk after the 10-minute rest. What's great is that you can freeze what is leftover and use it later in a recipe that calls for buttermilk.
