Money Saving Ideas During Social Distancing

by: Acesha Unlimited 

03/23/2020

If you're like most American's, aside from thinking about your health, safety and maybe how long your toilet paper will last; money may be the next thing on your mind. Long before the days of over priced Hand Sanitizer on eBay, money has always had a main seat at the table of our minds. During this time of social distancing and job closures, making and saving some extra cash became more important. I wanted to share with you ways I'm attempting to save some cash and stretch what I have. Broken down into categories, (feel free to jump to what applies) here's a few ways I attempt to save during the lock-down.

WORK

(if you're one of the few people who have to work during this time)

Public Transit: It seems to be a no-no but there are actually less people traveling to work so less chance of exposure. This will limit how often you drive your car and will cut down on your weekly gas bill.

Ride Share/Car Pooling: OK so public transportation still freaks you out? Then try riding with one or two other people; you'll also save money on travel expenses.

Limit Work Clothing: Pick out a few of your favorite outfits to mix and match throughout the week. This should save you money on laundry each week by cutting down on load size and the amount of laundry detergent.

Work Lunch: Prep your work lunch meals in advance to cut down on weekly spending. You can also brew your morning coffee at home and take it to go.

HOME

Cook to Last a Few Days: One pot/pan meals like Lasagna, Crock Pot recipes  and, Stuffing are meals that you can cook today and eat for a few days after.

Be Creative with Food:

When you’re day two and just about tired of that meal...

Change the flavor of a meal for example remix stuffing by adding your favorite red pasta sauce to make it savory.

Change the form of a dish like Mac and cheese, which can be breaded and deep fried into Mac and Cheese Balls.

Revisit the Old and Give it New Life: Have a box of tea bags that's been sitting in your cabinet for ages. Even if its not the traditional black or green tea bags, try making a typical hot tea flavor into a cold brew.

BEAUTY

Home made Beauty Products I mixed coffee grounds with my favorite oil and made a exfoliating shower scrub.

What are your money saving ideas?

#Procrastination&UnproductivityHack101:

Make a small To-Do list, and fill it with short-term tasks, very simple tasks that you think are inevitable or not important at all. You can write for example the steps to writing a MS. Document or the small steps to do a bigger task. If you have a mission or a big task to do that you are dreading because it's hard or complicated just break it down into smaller simple acts and write them down. Then whenever you finish one small act you cross it out. The visualization of that makes you feel like you have achieved something. It encourages you to keep going on. This really works for lazy procrastinators like myself. Try it and tell me what you think. Good luck ✌✌

Only applies to some hiring situations of course. But worth remembering all the same.
