Reliving the PS1 nostalgia before I finally sell my old games 😭 the struggle of wanting a minimalistic lifestyle after a VERY materialistic and hoard-y childhood

Sliding in at the last moment for it being technically still Wednesday, but hey, this is good advice all month long! And for the next couple months, too. ACA open enrollment is now! Don't procrastinate it to January 14th (like I probably will 😭)

A big, often overlooked part of "reduce, reuse, recycle" is to buy higher quality goods. That may seem anti-frugal, but it's actually a money-saver in the long term. Buying durable goods = buying fewer goods, needing fewer repairs, reusing the same item for a long time, etc.

Do you like steak? 🥩 Your body, unfortunately, might not be as big a fan of it. Red meat— steak, hamburger, pork chops, lamb— may contribute heavily to type 2 diabetes development. The more you eat, and the more processed it is, the higher your risk.

Halloween is almost here! 🎃 I know a lot of kids nowadays do trunk or treat events instead, but if you still get neighborhood trick-or-treaters, do you set an age limit? My dad used to scowl at teenagers who came by, but I'll give candy to just about anyone. 🍬

I can't stand the thought of folks spending $4 on those "fancy" toothpastes 😣 I haven't actually spent $ on toothpaste in years; it's the easiest freebie to get by waiting for a sale & using a coupon! Whatever toiletries you need, you should NEVER buy them full price. #frugal

Have you seen the flood of Halloween decor at stores already? A lot of places have xmas stuff too! And, every year, people get swept into buying more & more of it... & throwing out last year's stuff, broken or not. As someone who still has ornaments from 1999, I'm horrified 😱 #frugal #thrifty

Does your school have a nurse? 👩‍⚕️ ⅓ of schools across the country don't, at least not full-time. That leads to more absences, affecting grades; not to mention their health. If your school doesn't have one, advocate for one! And, if they do, advocate for proper pay & support. #NurseSky

It's great to try to be #frugal, & the Internet is FULL of financial advice. Too much, sometimes. So, if you had to narrow it down to just ONE piece of advice, without knowing anyone's specific circumstances, what would you say? ("win the lottery" doesn't count but man I wish)

This is your reminder to make sure auto-renew is turned off for things you don't want to renew, even if you never updated your payment method! Think hard about any services you might've had before and forgot to turn off, since some things renew bi-annually and can be overlooked. #frugal #budgeting

"Reusables" doesn't normally make you think of food, right? But a lot of your food actually can serve another purpose when you'd normally just throw it away. Plus, you don't have to do it at all once; don't be afraid to have a scraps bag in the freezer! #frugal #thrifty

CW: guns, self-harm I will never be anti-gun. I am fine with the average person owning a pistol or a shotgun. But our lack of regulation, screenings, & people's individual failings to safely store them is killing our children. Advocate for your child now before you're advocating in their memory.

Pets really are good for your mental health, and they can even improve physical wellbeing. But mostly I just made this because I want to hear about and see your pets because, I mean. Cute animals. Who doesn't want that?? So pls reply with pics or stories ♥️🐱🐶🐇🐁
