Which practical stragtegies are you using to cut cost?

[LETme]

I just cut costs with a few practical strategies. Start by tracking my expenses to see where my money goes and focus on essentials instead of what I want. Save by cooking at home, buying in bulk, and using discounts or coupons. Reduce bills by negotiating rates, canceling unused subscriptions, and switching to energy efficient habits. I always use public transportation to lower travel costs and try DIY solutions for small tasks to avoid hiring help. I buy secondhand items, which allows me to save money without compromising quality. Planning and sticking to a budget can help me to avoid unnecessary expenses and build a solid financial foundation.

When it comes to spending then it will be that important that you should really be that having a track with your expenses because if you cant be able to have that track then you would definitely be ending up on having some issues or simply you will be having that overdropped. This is why its really that important that you do really know at least on what you are really that indeed doing because if you are really just that earning less and you are that spending up that much then you will be facing up some problems. Practical strategies? You do really just that simply be sensible into budgeting because its normal that on the moment that you are making up some income on which it is sufficient onlyon your living then better stick with it.

Never ever trying out to copy someones lifestyle specially into those who do have better financial situation and income generation because on the time that you will really be having that kind of action in towards your financial status and budgeting then you will be facing up tons of problems on which it will really be that related into having that much bigger problems. Regrets do always come at the end on where you will be definitely be having that kind of rethinking on what you have done.

Let us have a practical discussion about different strategies you've employed to cut cost in your home or the methods you plan to use in saving yourself some money this new year.

I am very sure there is much we can learn form each other.
To reduce cost,
I realized that buying things in big quantities like bulk, saves me money because in my country, the retail cost of something today will likely not be the same price by the upper week. Prices are always on the increase, so when I buy in bulk, I do not have to concern myself with it for a while.

I turn off electric bulbs and appliances not in use to make sure that I reduce my electricity consumption.

I have planned to do more of cooking at home, and less buying of food from vendors because I am spending more on and cannot always trust the quality of the food I am buying.

share yours.

I think that it highly depends on the country where we live. It will be very different to hear a suggestion from European because we have a different lifestyle, different income and possibilities. Don't get me wrong, life seem to be easier in UK, EU, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia compared to the rest of the world, especially for local citizens who own house and grew up in one of these countries.
In EU, many people who earn average salary per month, go to Restaurants while I've heard from some of my foreigner coworkers that they never go to Restaurant because they can't afford it. It's strange to hear for an average European because many of us eat outside in Restaurant at least once a week.

I'll try to think like I'm not from EU. To be honest, I wouldn't cut cost on food because I believe that we are what we eat. If we eat low quality food, our body will be left with low energy and low quality food also causes cancer and many other problems. We might be feeling well in our 20s, 30s or 40s but we have to think about our oldhood too because as times goes, we are aging and with low quality food, lots of new health problems arise. So, my suggestion is to focus on eating high quality food and do not cut a cost here. If you can make a food at your home and save some money, of course, do that.
Other than that, don't buy expensive clothes, don't go to Restaurant, use Bus instead of car or bicycle and so on.

In reducing expenses, it is something that needs to be done in a practical strategy to cut costs, by detailing each existing expense, you can see which expenses are more useful so that you can optimize existing expenses and them in financial matters, and more importantly, don't compare your expenses with others.

Food could be a good starter, and if you are paying a lot for shelter, changing that up could be second, these two things are the most important and vital things anyone needs, rest is not really a "need".

If you pay cheap rent, or low mortgage, and if you eat cheap food, then you can survive, nothing else is a "must" in your life, you do not need anything else as a vital thing for survival, everything else is extra. I do not mean like having electricity or water, of course you have those, I included bills to "shelter" because you need those.

You can even get like netflix and what not, however don't get "all" of them, this isn't just financial advice but seriously, most stuff are free online, so get a few is enough.

Aside from these, just don't spend money on anything else if you can, avoid anything else, just go to work, come home, eat cheap dinner, and do whatever hobby and sleep. If you do these then you are going to make good enough savings without a doubt.
