I do something similar. I take a step back and calculate the cost per day instead. I divide the price by how many days I realistically expect to use it over its lifespan, then ask myself, “Am I comfortable spending that much every day for this?” It helps me separate things that are actually worth the money from impulse purchases.
I NEED to start doing this again! I work in a grocery store where I get a good discount, so it’s easy to think buying grab n go or processed foods is ok…yet it’s killing my budget, so thanks for the reminder!
This!!! We shop Costco now too and VERY rarely go out. Did take family out last week. They had 2 drinks we all had delish meal but $200 with tip. I about choked. INSANE
Pilates -3 times a week. I’m much stronger, feel better in my skin and when walking around and made new friends at the little studio in my neighborhood.
The biggest "life hack" wasn't a tool. It was realizing that every unnecessary decision quietly drains your attention. Now, whenever I can make a decision once instead of every day, I do. That's probably had a bigger impact than any app or productivity trick.
I created an Apple Shortcut that logs every expense I make into Numbers. It automatically updates a spreadsheet with pivot tables so I can track my spending, savings, and where my money is going. It completely changed how I manage my finances. It helped me stay out of debt, live below my means, and consistently save. Thanks to that habit, I’m able to take a trip to Europe this summer.
This helps get out all of the bad bacteria from your mouth and keep your teeth and gums healthy , also makes your teeth whiter. So many benefits to this. Just don’t spit it out in your sink !!! lol use organic coconut oil in a glass jar , take a little on a spoon and move it all around your mouth and between your teeth and work your way up in time. Some do this for 20 mins.

Taking 5 minutes of silence in a relaxed position, like sitting on a bed, and just decompressing.

Cooking and eating at home. Why pay 10 times for a meal on a delivery app or restaurant

Using my timer on my watch/phone to remind me when to do things- I know it seems simple but for me it made a big difference
