"Jar of baked beans and an empty wallet" or how to save money at home

[Hubbleman]

Can someone give me ideas on how to save some $$$ in my house hold?

For starters i will be eating lots of these now:

Then: no more sub woofer and amp while watching TV and films ( sub woofer cost pretty penny if u leave it for a while)

No more taxi rides

No more burgers other than double cheeseburger for $1.29

No expensive booze, no booze at all for that matter

NO heating during winter (cost run up to 50 pounds a week!)

No gas. Not paying water bill either.

No tv liscnce. This one tricky, if i dont pay they can charge me 1000

saving every penny any way i can...


All saved money will go on a little thing i want...

Whats your ways?

heinz has beans in a tub? that's gross

Buy dry beans in a bag, soak the at least over night and cook them yourself. Much cheaper than Heinz and better to boot.

Eat brown rice dishes like stir fry. You can do rice and beans too.

get a 2nd job, or do A quick lil hustle to come up with the cash, no need to punish yourself/roommates, no heat/gas except for your own, lol ahaha

How the hell can you get charged for not having a tv license? WTF is that?

 

[supermanlives]

remember:
saving money=being healthy=caring for the planet
eating 1.29 cheeseburgers and beans from a big plastic tub will only make you and the planet unhealthy and more expensive to take care of. buy foods in bulk, go for a walk, wear a sweater.... you have the right idea just think a step further

Think places like U.K...
TV licenses are real, but I doubt they will find the O.P..

I put down a few 1.29 cheeseburgers and I'm a major contributor to methane production and global warming for sure

--> Careful with your lighters

only wash clothes once a week
only wash bedding once a month
only wash self every other day

cook u'r own beans........much cheaper dry

First of all, I second the idea to do a quick hustle.. I dunno if you have weed lying around, but if you're like me and do, I would suggest selling a couple of grams (in 1 or 2 gram bags) and making a quick buck..

Other than that, you sound like you're moving in the right direction..
Other cheap foods are: pasta+pesto (my fave), pasta+bacon you get the point..

Also, eating at your moms is very affordable haha..

BTW gotta ask OP, what are you saving for that's more important than the things you listed?

Yes, buy in bulk. You will get more for your money than you get buying in a smaller size (Usually)

Mac & cheese is a cheap staple for those with a tight budget. Watch for sales of multiple boxes.
Toss in a can of chili and make your own chili mac. Or toss in some sliced up hot dogs to stretch it out.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are cheap to make. Toss on a slice of sandwich meat.

Packs of Roman Noodle soups are very cheap and you can get a lot for the money, but I would not suggest eating them every day.
They are loaded with salt.

You want to eat as healthy and cheap as you can. Those burgers may seem cheap and good...but they are not healthy if that is all you eat.

I try to make a lot of bean salads, very low cost and high in the satisfaction end of the spectrum. Black bean and corn salsa too, super cheap if you buy canned beans, corn, and a large can of rotel. Blend the rotel with a tablespoon of tomato paste add diced onions, add drained corn and drained beans, DONE! Good stuff. Lots of cornbread and biscuits too they are cheap, easy, and quick to warm up in the morning. Oh and one of my favs, pasta with sauce and a fried egg on it, Yumm!

 

[Hubbleman]

Some great advice, thanks dudes


and yes u have to pay for TV lisence in UK

You like that? Try a over easy egg on top of a pizza with a little pecorino or real parmesean cheese, fucking delicious. Burgers are great with a fried egg on them too.

Mate the tv license people cannot enter your gaff without a warrant, nonone gets prosecuted it's all a load if scare tactic bollocks.when I was skint I took up weight training not cos it saved money but because it was a free, productive hobby so you can at least feel you're working towards something. Bear in mind though that you need to eat 1.7g of protein per kilo of bodyweight and protein is dear. You van get cheap bulk protein shakes though.

ask h20 for ideas

i think i will try!

had a burger with an egg last week! bomb as fuck!!!

i think the yolk mixing with the pasta sauce makes something that is not even humanly possible to understand the level of how delicious it is!!!
