You can really cut a lot of corners. Kids aren’t as expensive as the media tries to tell you
Making your own bread costs only 30 cents a loaf. Making nearly everything from scratch will save you big money
He raises his own chickens, sells eggs, has goats and sells goat milk
Oh, and meat rabbits are super cheap to raise, easy to harvest, and reproduce very quickly. I think the cost totaled up to like 25 cents a pound or something
Median salary for my degree is $49,000 1 year after graduation. I calculated that I could live amazingly well off that in Spokane by myself. With a family it would be a totally different story though.
that's 1/4th what I pay for chicken right now
Really, don’t worry about it too much. I make 30,000 a year and still save 800$ a month while living on my own.
Yeah buying chicken is still pretty cheap, so I wouldn’t criticize that lol
That’s not the only way to cut corners either. It’s different for everyone. For me it was buying less coffee from coffee shops lol
I don't worry about it at all tbh
whatever happens is gonna happen
I could live pretty well off $30,000 here
right now I live off $10,000, so...
Geeeeez
10k is a stretch lol
I think the lowest I lived off of was 10$ an hour
well, I'm in rural Eastern Washington, so it's not horrible
though I do sometimes have to choose between eating real food and having a social life
I gotta bunch of cheap good recipes if you want em
Having a crock pot is also fantastic for budgets
My thing is, I buy roasts on sale at Kroger, they have buy one get one sales a lot. Then I get noodles, cream of mushroom, and some sour cream. I just live off beef and noodles in winter lol
oh ya that'd be great you should DM them or post on the cooking channel on the skills server in case other people want them
I’ll post on skills sever later today
Got way too much stuff to pack right now lol
You never realize how much stuff you own until you have to pack it all up and haul it away lmao
Buying meats on yellow sticker sales are something I did when I was living frugally @Jacob
Still do it sometimes...you just have to make sure you cook it freeze it that evening...
@NITRODUBS thanks
@Papa Pizzagate honestly I take any sale I can and freeze stuff
Another option is seeing if you have a discount grocer in your vicinity.
I go to WinCo sometimes
which is as cheap as it gets here
but it takes me an hour and 30 minutes 🙄
one way 😳
Have to make sure it’s actually worth it then
If you spend 2 dollars in gas driving to buy milk for a dollar cheaper, you lost money.
well, if I spent money on gas, that would imply I have a car, and if I had a car, it wouldn't be taking me two hours
God, I can't imagine what kind of secluded area I'd have to live in for the nearest cheap grocery store to be 1 hour 30 minutes away *by car*
I feel like I’d be saving money if I didn’t have a car
My carliterally always has a problem
I’ve spent like 1k on it in the past 5 months
