Beloved Bitches,

The "Grocery Shop like a Boss" post is making rounds again, and one of the bitchlings commented that they are moving out on their own for the first time so they were collecting ideas/recipes.

Which got me to wondering; do we have a "How to Preserve Your More Precious than Gold Grocery Haul" post floating around? And if not, should we start one?

We do not! And I agree--we should start one!!!

I'll start:

Tomatoes, carrots, and peppers can all be frozen without any preparation whatsoever. Just bag 'em and toss 'em in the freezer. So if you're worried you won't get to those vegetables before they go bad, freeze them for later recipes. They can then be used in a stirfry, curry, soup, chili, sauce, salsa, smoothie, whatever. And it's much easier, cheaper, and faster than canning.

WHO'S NEXT, BABIES? How are we preserving our grocery hauls?? This WILL become an official Bitches Get Riches World Heritage Post.

Martin Lewis retweeted me, I have made it in life

I accidentally became the person who runs a UKFinance subreddit back when I was at uni

(this is just a hobby for me, but in another life, I was definitely a financebro)

I’ve put together a list of UK offers (e.g. banks & fintech apps that pay you to sign up), these ones are easy money, with a decent time/value ratio…

Someone hit me up trying to get me to buy into some AI stock picker.

Because yk what wasn’t already rigged enough? The stock market! Let’s have millions of users all follow this poorly written bot’s instructions on what to do with our money (that we don’t even know is actually coming from the bot itself)! Surely you’re not being used for market manipulation, those stocks definitely won’t shorted either!

🎀 TIPS FOR NEW ADULTS 💝

MONEY TIPS

Prioritize your emergency fund!!

Prioritizing your emergency fund is useful for saving money because it provides a financial safety net, reducing the need to rely on high-interest debt during unexpected expenses.

2. Plan your meals and cook in bulk.

Planning meals and cooking in bulk saves money by reducing food waste, lowering per-unit costs through bulk purchases, minimizing impulse buys, saving time and energy, and encouraging healthier eating habits.

3. Look to split costs with others if possible.

Splitting costs with others saves money by reducing individual expenses on shared items or services, such as rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation, allowing each person to pay a smaller portion of the total cost. I usually recommend doing this with a family member, relative, or a good friend.

4. Learn independence skills.

Learning independence skills saves money by reducing the need to pay for services such as repairs, cooking, and cleaning, allowing you to handle tasks yourself and avoid outsourcing costs.

5. Maintaining a budget.

Having a budget keeps your spending in check and makes sure that your savings are on track for the future. Budgeting can help you set long-term financial goals, keep you from overspending, help shut down risky spending habits, and more.

6. Practice no-spend days.

It refreshes a budget and prioritizes “needs” over “wants.”Try to not spend money for a set period of time, like a week or a month. Soon enough, you would have control on overspending, changed your financial management habits, and saved extra money.

7. Buy frozen vegetables.

Frozen vegetables are usually picked, processed and frozen on the same day, to preserve freshness. Unless you can guarantee your fresh vegetables are that fresh, you are just adding days of starchy conversion to your otherwise fresh vegetables.

Can someone in America explain this...

So this post has being going around were someone shares their expenses for the month and explains how after working 6 days a week they only have like $93 left at the end of the month. Everyone's using it as some sign that gen Z are screwed and everything's terrible, but no-one's talking about the fact they put 'Gas $900'

I work as a money adviser (basically like a financial adviser for poor people since they don't pay me, the charity that employs me does) and it's quite normal for my clients to be car dependent without actually being able to afford the running costs of a car. A low-income family living in the south east of England (where public transport is generally much better than it is up north but not nearly as good as it is in London) can easily spend £150-200 a month on petrol ($203-271)

But to spend $900 (or £663) over here, you'd have to be either the hardest working Uber driver in the country, or driving from the Scottish Highlands to Land's End at least twice a month. Even when my partner was driving every day for work, he usually only spent a maximum of £400, and American petrol is quite a bit cheaper than ours.

So assuming an average of $2.94 per gallon, and assuming a large car with a 21 gallon tank (most smaller cars here are just under 10 gallons, but I was nearly squashed by many a Hilux when I was over there) we're still only talking about $62 per tank.

Assuming an average of 25 miles per gallon, you would literally need to drive 527.5 miles to empty a tank, so someone spending $900 a month would have to be refilling the tank 14 times in a single calendar month (almost every other day) and driving over 7,600 miles.

Now, our entire country is only 874 miles long, so I could easily be underestimating the distances Americans drive on a regular basis, but surely if you're clocking up 7,657 miles a month you'd have to be going on a pretty epic road trip every few days, because last time I checked your country is only about 3000 miles wide.

So can someone please explain to me which part of this equation I'm not getting? Has this kid massively overestimated the amount they spend on petrol? Are all the local gas stations in their hometown run by the mafia as an extortion racket? Are they the world's hardest working Uber driver? Are they driving an RV to work? Or is google wrong about the price of petrol?

Please help, I won't be able to concentrate on anything else until the mystery has been solved

I Spent 3 Years Tracking Everyday Money Leaks

One $14 lunch habit quietly steals $3.3k/year.

Here’s the 4-step fix that stops convenience spending fast:

Convenience feels cheap daily.

That’s why it drains accounts silently for years.

Most people budget big purchases.

Few track the tiny subscriptions, snacks, and lunches.

Saving money rarely needs huge sacrifices.

Tiny repeated cuts change yearly finances fast.

Before buying convenience, multiply it by 240 workdays. That’s the real price.

That lunch habit is only one example. Some purchases seem harmless in the moment but quietly become the biggest financial regrets after months or years of repeating them.
