15 Things I wish I knew to stop Buying to Save Money Faster

I get it, you’re busy, and sometimes finding recipes, making shopping lists, and planning out meals is just too much work.

Luckily, I found a great alternative to doing all this by myself – the $5 monthly meal plan that sends me weekly meal plans along with a shopping list and recipes straight to my inbox. And the best part about it is that all these meals are less than $2! This saves me by far the most money as I used to spend at least $100 a week on takeaway food since I was too busy to plan my meals.

3. Manicures and Pedicures

Previously, I would spend roughly $30 every 2 weeks to get my nails done. And I have to admit – it was one of the dumbest purchases I would make.

The gel would look beautiful on my nails but it came at the cost of $780 a year! That’s not even considering the occasional pedicures I used to get at $40 a pop every month or two.

I decided enough was enough and researched for a DIY nail kit that would be simple to use and take less than 30 minutes while also being affordable enough to buy on a tight budget.

I found this gel nail starter kit that’s highly rated on Amazon, and after using it for the past 3+ months, I can say it’s been totally worth the price!

I use this kit once a week or once every 2 weeks depending on how rough I am on my nails and it takes me around 20 minutes to do my nails.

I can honestly say it lasts around a week and a half on my nails and I am constantly washing my hands so they would probably last longer on someone with say an office job.

The starter kit comes with 1 free color included and you can buy additional colors for about $6 a pop!

4. Makeup remover

I used to spend $18 for the expensive makeup remover that would last me about a month. While it left my skin feeling clean it also dried it out quite a bit because of the harsh chemicals in it.

After researching extensively for a more natural alternative, I came across one that I already had in my cupboard. Coconut oil!

Coconut oil is an excellent makeup remover. Just rub a tiny bit of oil between your fingers to solidify it, then slather it on your face and rub it in for a minute or so and wipe it off with a cotton pad.

Since I started to use it on my face for about 2 months the condition of my skin has drastically changed and is now much more moisturized and it even reduced my acne since the oil cleanses out your pores.
