I “tax” myself every time I eat out. $5 in the jar if I eat out with my boyfriend, $10 in the jar if I eat out just on my own. It makes me double think eating out SO SO SO much.

@YourRav Год назад

@@ZoePritchard I just started doing this in January and the jar has $45 already…. This is coming from my monthly “spending budget” so it feels like eating out is even more expensive than it already is.

I'm not sure if you're still not buying fresh fruit in 2024 buttttt.. tip for fresh fruit if you ever reconsider if you're not, wash your fruit with vinegar the same day and have them ready to eat. I wash mines as soon as i'm home. I use an extremely large pot and let them sit in vinegar water for as long as possible depending on how busy i am and put them in a jar so they're ready for me to eat every morning. I also leave some of it (apples, oranges, plums, peaches) on my kitchen table ready to grab and go. Also, the more organic your fruit is, the faster it molds. I love organic fruit but buying it in small amounts is best. Hope that helps! Fresh fruit is alive food

@lydschnid61 Год назад

Last year, I challenged myself to not buy any new clothing from a store (except undergarments). I love thrifting and second hand shopping and this saved me so much money and made me feel great about my environmental impact!

@megand576 Год назад

This is my goal this year as well! Just left a store trying on $120 shoes and found the exact same pair online, secondhand for 1/3 of the price!

@nadiabrante7310 Год назад

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I started buying one fruit at a time and only enough to eat within a week or less. I wash it(cut if needed) and split it into my little lunch containers, so that it it ready to grab and eat. Use it as snacks or take it for lunch as my desert 😊 not allowed to buy another fruit until the first one has been eaten. Really helped me to stop wasting fruits. 😊

@purplepoppy07 Год назад

These videos are so addicting! One of my 2023 no-buys is also random fast food and fast casual food purchases. If I'm going to spend money on "outside" food, it has to feel special in some way, whether its a night out with friends or a restaurant I've been wanting to try. I never regret a great meal because part of the reason I live in NYC is for the food scene, but the Chipotle and Popeyes meals don't add any value to my life.

@ZoePritchard Год назад

I 100% agree with this!! I'd rather spend $50 on a whole experience than $20 for salad in a rush 😂

I feel most ripped off making literally ANY purchase at an amusement park. Like bottles of water for $6. I remember spending $32 for lunch and it wasnt even that good. And for some of the rides, you had to pay $3 for a locker rental to put your phone and wallet in. It sucks.

I recently got into menstrual cups and OMG it is a life changer as someone with a heavy flow. I’m sad I didn’t try it sooner 😢 bc i save so much money by not buying pads or tampons. Ik people have a learning curve to it but its worth it! Esp if you’re comfortable digging down there 😂 its the best i would recommend EDIT: if its not clear i feel ripped off by buying pads and tampons LOL so i switched to menstrual cup instead🥰

I feel you on the eczema! I've never had to deal with it on my face, but I currently have patches on both elbows and both ankles. Not fun! Also, for anyone who is interested, fabric softeners make towels less absorbent over time because it can gunk up the fibers. Something that can help is putting a cup of distilled vinegar in the wash and dryer balls in the dryer instead of using fabric softeners. Those will both help keep your towels from getting stiff without affecting their function!

@emmyjulianne6850 Год назад

Thank you… I got my first “fancy towel” for Xmas and after about 4-5 washes I noticed it doesn’t dry as well. It’s very plush so the fibers getting clogged sounds extremely plausible

This is kind of funny since most of your no-buys are what I plan to try out this year. I’ve never had a manicure in a salon, nor have gotten lashes done 😂 I typically go out and cut my hair once a year, never dyed or bleached or even curled my hair. Instead of a no-buy, I plan to try them once!

@teakik2685 Год назад

Wow #4 was something I was JUST looking up, facials. I also google it every so often and can't justify it in the end. So something I thought of while you were speaking, is "what if I pay myself?" What if I literally put away $10 everytime I use that nice face mask. Every breakfast sammie prepped is $3. That eyebrow lamination kit from amazon? Everytime I use it, $5. Then whenever I want to re-invest I can pull from that. Or, option 2, at the end of the year get a massage or whatever with the total money so I can look forward to that service. Food for thought!

Last year, I cut out disposable menstrual products and I’ve never looked back! I probably saved $1000 last year just by buying a menstrual cup and reusable cloth pads. This year, my husband and I decided to not go to any restaurants or get any take out. Ever. Instead, we have been borrowing cook books from the library and pushing ourselves to make restaurant quality food at home. It’s a lot of work but the results are amazing. We made butternut squash ravioli and white wine sauce completely from scratch and it cost us $30 for 8 servings!

@lyzziez Год назад

$50/hr is pre-tax, so after tax, it’s probably around $30/hr in Montreal. $60/mani is after tax money. Now you’re using the same type of money for comparison. $60/mani + $30/hr = $90 for a 1-hr mani service. $30/hr * 3 hr = $90 for a 3-hr self-mani. Equal only if you’re taking those hours away from your job (“spending” $90 for both scenarios). If you’re still working the same amount, and then do your own nails (earning $2k in total and not spending anything, for example) it’s actually cheaper than doing the same amount of work and spending $60 on a mani service ($1,940 after paying $60 to someone else). I make $110/hr, but since I can’t work overtime, I’ll make max $200k/yr no matter how much I work or kill myself for my job. I don’t pay someone to clean my house at $40/hr because my downtime isn’t spent making more money. If it IS spent generating more income, then paying someone else to clean is worth it.

Hi Zoe, I loved this video! It definitely is making me think of things that I can cut out and not buy this year. So funny that you're talking about not buying beauty treatments and I am getting my legs waxed today 😂 However, I haven't had them waxed in a while and I find shaving really irritates my legs for some reason - so I can justify it! I would definitely recommend a diffuser! I have one from Saje along with several of their oils, and it is a much cleaner way to fragrance the home.

@ZoePritchard Год назад

If you benefit from the treatment is so worth it!! I'm the opposite from you, its waxing that makes me break out 😂 but it lasts so much longer I wish it didn't haha. I love Saje roller oils and have been wanting to try the diffuser. I think I will do it though! 💖

I felt ripped off just last weekend. My friend had a birthday party and after hanging out at her house we all went out to a karaoke club. I almost didn’t go but felt it would be lame if I went home early (totally shouldn’t have cared about that!). When we got to the door of the karaoke club, we learned it was a $30 cover charge! Just to watch random drunk people sing poorly! It was not my vibe at all which I knew when I got there, but I paid and went in anyways. I regret it and feel like it was such a rip off.

One thing about eating frozen food Zoe, it’s that they take away all the fiber so the fruit lasts longer. And fibers are reaaaallly important to reduce glucose peaks. I read this amazing book “glucose revolution” that explains in such a fun way how damaging glucose peaks are and how overtime they lead to type 2 diabetes. Btw, I’m Brazilian and the cost of fruit in North America is sooo high it’s obscene 😂. My husband is doing his post-doc at Harvard and when we went to do groceries and I wanted one freaking pound of grapes they cost 6 usd BEFORE tax, I mean, what the actual hell? I find it VERY expensive to eat healthy in NA, in South America (even though cost of living is through the moon, like everywhere these days), still, it’s much more affordable than eating junk food.

Here’s one I’m gonna be strong with this year.. Bill splitting! I hate to be petty, but recently me and my girlfriend went out with a group to a restaurant. Neither of us were that hungry so both had a vegan burger each and I had a coke she had a water. Everyone else had steak the size of a human head, lobster, starters, desserts and alcohol. My partner and I worked out ours came to £39, we ended up splitting the bill and I felt to awkward to say anything.. £50 per person! So a hundred quid for two vegan burgers. Never again.

@ZoePritchard Год назад

Nooooo! It makes me think of that episode of Friends... I have to say that is (luckily) not a thing in Canada. When we split a bill the server rings up our individual purchases (so you only pay for what you ordered!)

@AL-nh6zm Год назад

A similar thing happened to me, I just went on a week long holiday with 7 guys (I'm a girl). I eat maybe a fifth of what they eat and I don't drink alcohol while they had wine at every meal + stronger alcohol every evening. They ended up splitting the bill evenly, making me pay almost 10 times what I normally pay in a week for groceries 🥲 So I said the same thing, never again ! I don't care if I seem petty at this point

@thewewguy8t88 Год назад

also another thing i want to try to avoid buying is alcohol but that is more to do with more general personal goals rather then money reasons but money reasons do play a factor.

@@winndellericjohnson02 was that thumbs up for me. if so yeah mcdonalds is a hard thing for me to quit i have been trying for a while now :/

@caitlinc1998 Год назад

The diffuser sounds like am amazing idea but be careful with essential oils around Maggie :) apparently a more "passive diffuser", so like a reed diffuser - is a safer option!

yess so true! I need to look up what is pet safe and what isnt 💖

If you buy fruit and it’s going bad, you can usually salvage them by freezing for smoothies or banana bread etc. I have the same issue when I buy fruit. Also, when did cocktails become such a rip off!! Most of the time theyre the same price as an entree.

@ZoePritchard Год назад

soooo true about the cocktails!! like $18 is the norm now its wild

Omg yes to places I feel ripped off. I HATE that feeling

@jennaphillips2368 Год назад

The nail salon was literally me two weeks ago. I was given a gift card to a fancy nail salon I'd never go to because it's overpriced, so I decided to go versus my usual (much cheaper and better) salon. I've wanted to try this place for a long time though and keep telling myself no because it's so pricey. Well I finally went and regretted it! For some reason the staff couldn't get my card to work so I had to pay out of pocket :') the manicure wasn't even worth it, they didn't do all the nailcare they promised and it chipped shortly after (plus my nails are now in rough shape). It reaaaally sucked but just reminded me to trust my gut (and do my own nails)! Also love the comment about leaving a bar if you're not inspired by the menu. ALSO! Getting my hair done - I got a balayage last year and LOVED it but I ended up dropping $400! I really miss the hair but cannot rationalize spending that much on my hair, on top of the extra care products like colour shampoos...I'll just stick to a basic haircut and my natural colour. I'm also addicted to scented candles too...but on a somewhat positive note (?) when I got covid awhile ago it messed up my sense of smell and now I can't smell candles without getting SUPER nauseous - it definitely sucks but at least I'm saving money, haha :')

@ZoePritchard Год назад

omg the candle part made me laugh 😂 love your positive thinking!! That SUCKS about the nail salon, kind of crook vibes haha .. so true about the hair! I always see photos of gorgeous balayage but the price keeps me with my natural hair. It pays to embrace our natural features hehe

@triciaf8261 Год назад

Even if we did less of all the things you mentioned we would save a lot Nail salons are now charging $3 for "special/new" polishes which is ridiculous since it really is their stock - I think a lot of little charges got added in during the pandemic to make up for volume of sales but I don't begrudge them but I think twice about it - I do my own manicures but go out (but less often) for pedicures and skip the "spa" pedicure for the most part and consider it a treat instead My other savings is to use up what I have of beauty products instead of buying new

@candy2325 Год назад

I work from home so I’ve been obsessed with cooking my meals at home and I’ve been learning so many recipes. The only time I treat myself for eating out is on a weekend because let’s face it , I have my days where I don’t feel like cooking and that’s on a weekend when it’s my day off and I want to relax. Also, I agree about the nails! I was spending $50 to get a gel manicure on my own nails and that’s like $100 a month 😢 nooooo sir! I’m gonna get this gel taken off and do paint my own damn nails. I have a huge box of nail polish just sitting around

@sabahatnaheed1435 Год назад

im a sucker for skincare, i usually go to the body shop and lush and holland and barretts here in the uk. but once all my skincare finishes, i will stick to coconut oil. cheap and cheerful :)

@ZoePritchard Год назад

Oh body shop 😍 if I go in there its game over haha

@xoxolorae Год назад

I agree with point 1 but with nail salons, I do think we have to consider the cost of upkeep for the technicians, because the rent cost for those salons go up with inflation too. I have several beauty technician friends (one of them does lash extensions and nails in her house and charges way less than a salon!) I’m from L.A. and the cost to get nails done is about $60-70 for BASIC GEL. including tip. It used to be like $40 tops. But one of my friends explained, that technicians only get half of what you paid because it goes to cost of the rent, cost of equipment and supplies, and besides tip, they make like $15 an hour. It’s truly kinda sad.

@ZoePritchard Год назад

oh my gosh for sure!! i feel like to that point it’s important to give good tips when you do go because those technicians work so hard. But id rather simply not go than spent too much or not be able to tip fairly 😭

@xoxolorae Год назад

@@ZoePritchard at the end of the day, it’s definitely only the salon owners who profit so O totally feel you. When prices were lower I used to tip my technician like $20. now I seriously only have like $5 to tip //

When I grocery shop for my parents they request so much fruit.. I easily spend $30 a trip on their fruit list

@MichaelaBrim Год назад

Omg the berries thing, I am the same hahaha😂 I never thought of that but my mom was the same in the sense that we never had like fresh berries and these more expensive kinds of fruit in the house unless it was for a special thing like if she was making a cake or some sort of a dessert if you know what I mean. So now I find myseld in the shop thinking whether I should get raspberries, what will I eat them with, whether I will be at home so I can divide the packet into 4 servings etc wow I never realized until this video😂

hahha exaaaactly the same 😂💖

@lizhernandez5152 Год назад

I agree so with you so heavy about leaving a restaurant!!! I’ve done this so many times due to cost and because I have a lot of allergies 😂 but the people I’m with always feel awkward for leaving a restaurant and I’m like ?? Why?? - apologize to the waitress and leave lol

@LA-ly1nt Год назад

One thing that I don't feel ripped off when I pay for it is my facial session. I bought a 10 session package for 1,400. For me, that's great and I'm satisfied with the result. 😊

yeah i did the math on me buying mcdonalds everyday i can save a lot. for now though i have budgeted for mcdonalds for almost the next 5-6 months but after that by then i really want to have at the very least started to cut down a lot.

Zoe, you do have fabulous skin! I swear I think about how nice your skin is every video haha. If you're not getting facials now, there's definitely no need

@ivoryh6770 Год назад

Just for the diffuser make sure you get dog safe scents/essential oils…for example Tea tree oil is very toxic to dogs and can make them sick and could cause your dog’s anxiety to be worse if they don’t feel good

an interesting question what are places i feel ripped off and to be honest i cant think of any place i have felt ripped off like if i go to a bar for example i just go in expecting to pay 100 for myself for the night lol.(this can inculde the taxi to get home if i do not manage to catch the bus/metro to get home since the metros and busses stop at around 1pm ish but bars are still open to 3 lol)

I wanted to switch some time ago and the reviews stopped me.😊 Zoe I have asked before where your pearl necklace is from ( the one you wore during the Colombia trip) Thanks!!

Oh weird!! I've never had that problem 🙈 Worth giving it a try and email customer service if you have a problem!

Instead of a diffuser get an air purifier. Life changing if u have pets and nothing is better than plain clean air. Diffusers, essential oils and incense can be toxic for dogs so just double check what u buy! Love the video ❤
