1]Savings on food, drinks, movies.
In tough times like this, it is best to take an inventory of what you have at home, that is, in the food pantry and in the refrigerator before you go shopping. Most people are in the habit of shopping for food even when there is more at home. Many also throw away food even when there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. A very good way to save is to first check what is there and what is not. Homemade food is also very healthy, pleasant, comfortable and inexpensive. So instead of eating out every day, save some money by doing it once or twice a week. Also save money for your family by renting movies and watching them in the comfort of your home. You could also look around and help people in need instead of wasting. There are people around us who are dying to eat and you never know what a blessing you can be to someone because you gave them just a loaf of bread. Who you are makes a difference. Find ways to bless others with what God has abundantly blessed you with. Give gifts to food banks or ask friends or family how you can donate food to those in need. You can be the change you want to see in today’s world.
2]Prayers and moral support
Prayers change everything. You can pray as an individual or as a family with your husband and children. I believe that with prayers, this crisis, this recession will end soon and everything will return to normal and why not better than before. bigger and better if we put God first and trust Him to get us out of this. Mutual moral support is also very important at a time like this. Try as much as possible to speak and understand the language of others. What I want to say here is compromised. Also stay positive, thankful, and hopeful, as you thank God for the abundance and for the gift of life. There are people here in the US and around the world who are not blessed to see the light of a new day. Therefore, it is worth giving thanks to God for one more day.
3]Big savings on clothes and shoes
For clothes and shoes, it can look like a box of a million just by shopping smart. There are countless clothing and shoe stores online and in stores that always have big sales that can save you a lot. So instead of keeping spending so much, cut back and save by exploring other purchase options that will be good for you, your husband, and children. Many other stores also have reservation options that can help limit the use of credit cards – debt. If you go into some people’s closets, you will find clothes and shoes with price tags that have never been worn but are still shopping every day. At the very least, check what you have before you go for more. Don’t pile up mess after mess just because you have the money to pay for it. Don’t buy unnecessarily. Remember that what matters with clothing is not the quantity you have, but the quality and how you combine and wear what you have. It’s also okay to count your blessings and find ways to bless others with the excess in your closet. There are people all over the world who don’t have anything like what we have in the US and they don’t dream of owning something at any moment. So please bless someone. There are organizations and charities around us that will receive used clothing, shoes, food, and furniture. Just sacrifice some time, collect these things and take them to these Salvation Army organizations, or those delivery boxes parked on our streets. Do you remember that someone’s thrash is someone else’s treasure?
4]Savings on toilet
Women are known most of the time for overspending on clothes, shoes, nails, hair, eyebrows, and makeup, to name a few. You can do most of these yourself in the comfort of your home.
For your brow, there is this little brow shaver and it’s sold in beauty supply stores or dollar stores for just a dollar. It can only take you five to ten minutes to have the best and sexiest eyebrow in the comfort of your bathroom. Dollars. Beauty salons usually charge five bucks for that, right? During a period like this, there are some simple things you can do yourself that can save you, your family, or anyone else a lot of money. For example, if you are a woman who goes to the nail salon every week, limit it to once every two to three weeks when buying these DIY tools from beauty supply stores and getting your nails done. Trust me, they look pretty if you take the time to do it. It also saves time, you will have to wait in line at the salon and some infections that can result from dirty tools. Plus, you can save on your hair by shampooing, conditioning, washing, and styling in the comfort of your own home. It’s easy, fun, and less time consuming. Also, keep some money in your pocket for rainy days.
5]Ongoing love and support
It has always been considered that 75% of the time men are the earners of the family and most work hard to support their families. Imagine the same man who has done that for years to suddenly lose his job and the ability to support his family. It is a frustrating, humiliating, depressing and very dangerous time. So a very supportive moment. This is a period when anything can happen. If your husband or wife is fired, it is not your fault. So instead of blaming or rejecting the person, show more love and support than ever because it’s a tough time and it won’t be forever. As the saying goes, hard times never last, but people do. It is time to stick together and not fall apart. Remember, the recession is money and money problems should not separate husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, brothers and sisters from the love they have for one another. Ecclesiastes chapter 1: 1 says, there is a time for everything.
