CLOTHES—there are definitely a lot of cheap but nice clothes…try having your clothes tailored. I envy TPS because she can make clothes for her daughter, and they are really nice!
EXPENSIVE COFFEE—I don’t like coffee, so this not a problem for me.
EATING OUT—This should be limited to special occasions…better to just save the money for travelling!
ELECTRICITY—Pull out the plugs of the appliances that are not in use—i sometimes forget this with the TV
KID’S TOYS—I think it’s better to buy books!
I cannot think of anything else…I am not really a good saver but i am gonna try and be one… I know a lot of experts on good budgeting like the husband’s wife and kg and I intend to be like them…again, wish me luck! hehehe!
What would you want? Be frugal and live a simple life and have the time to spend with your family because you don’t have debts to pay or be extravagant and have expensive items and having to work your butt off to pay for all the things that you do not really need?
Yaiks, I’m guilty on all counts. Well, not so much on the coffee. Pero promise ko this year, I’d be more responsible with my purchases. Good luck to all of us!

wow special mention! jo…there are so many ways to save, and so manythings you can scrimp on! as in! will power lang ang kailangan! he! he! do you know that I rarely buy wendy toys nowadays? it’s something I know she can do without.
may tip lang pala ako sa travel…you can travel on a minimal budget; thus, you can still scrimp on travel without having to scrape it off completely. o diba?
follow mo lang list mo and you’ll be ok!
