Should we do a 🧵 of money-saving tips/suggestions?
Most of us are likely trying to find ways to ✂️ spending. We have to buy basics/necessities BUT still finding space for treats is important too.
If there are great deals or cheaper swaps you've found, helpful tips you've read, etc - share below ⬇️

But if your greens wilt, dunk them in an ice bath for 10-15 minutes. They’ll perk back up.
Get comfortable substituting ingredients (in a reasonable fashion!) or skipping them altogether.
Grocery stands often have big discounts for fruits and veggies that are too sad looking to sell, at the end of the day it's the perfect moment to ask.
Similarly, bakeries often have stale or "stale" stuff for very cheap.
Laundry detergent is stupidly expensive but you can make your own for a fraction of the cost.
Combine one box each of baking soda, washing soda, and borax in a jar and mix well. Use 2 tablespoons per load with a splash of white vinegar.
We made our last batch of this on Nov 5 and it still hasn't run out. (We do a load of laundry every other day on average)
For less than 20$ we have a 5 month supply of detergent without harsh chems.

I've loved Lush's Big Shampoo for ages but oof, so $$ (though I still like the company itself).
Recently found this other brand that's just as good but is shy of half the cost. Was happy to find an alternative.
Saves $ + saves time for Future You to have some stuff already prepped for meals. (Also refrigerate/freeze seeds/nuts for longer life!)
- Use cream soap for household stuff. They clean well, you only need a little. Work for everything from dishes to clothes. One pack is about 1kg
- Book + clothing swaps!!
- For people in Singapore: ActiveSG instead of privately owned gyms
