How do you control the household's tight budget?

[Ratine]

For me l can sometimes buy cheaper foods like the green vegetables to save some money on.

It's mostly true management and planning. Buying cheaper food like you said, ensuring we are able to eat it more than once and all that.

We need to consider having tight budget these days. The commodities are still spiking its prices.

I have decided to grow my own produce to save money. Also, I usually buy essential items in bulk to avoid frequent trips to the grocery store.

I control the house hold budget by buying in bulk in order to save money. I realized that whenever I buy sugar, milk, maize flour and rice in bulk, I save more than when I buy in small amounts.

Eating cheaper foods, repurposing household items, not making a lot of dishes and combining all ingredients to make one dish are some of the things I do

I control our household's tight budget by tracking every expense, no matter how small. I create a monthly budget and stick to it, prioritizing needs over wants.

I buy in bulk when there are discounts or deals like buy one get one free. I use credit card to get cash back but make sure I pay the credit card bill on time so that I do not have to pay any interest. I also join free loyalty program to get reward points which can be converted into cash when making a purchase.

As much as possible, I need to plot my checklist and see which one should be bought or not. In this way, I can manage the budget plan.

Remaining at home, when I am not feeling well, weather conditions or other reasons can help reduce the expenses to a very great extent.

I am doing all this and glad to know we are similar in many aspects and I hope to find more such ways that can help me save money

We also buy cheaper things to control the household tight budget. sometimes we cut off some things we feel might not be in need of for some certain period of time.

 

[Hate2Wait]

I haven't worked in a budget at home and even though things are expensive we still buy things that are important for us

 

[Starmix]

I can control it by not keeping on going to shop or mall. There are times I just go to the mall and buy things that are not part of my plan.

 

[Hate2Wait]

I am not following any such budget and haven not followed anytime but its good to have some sort of budget so that we don't spend more

 

[Starmix]

I also don't do the same but I can budget my expenses well. We need self control.

When the household is on a tight budget, the family just needs to lower expectations when it comes to level of life.

If we can control ourselves and not buy unnecessarily then we don't need a budget to make us disciplined and can save without that too

But there are times that I am tempted to buy not from the list and was amused of it, lol. It seldom happened.

We control expenses by making sure we turn off electrical appliances every night. This helps us to save money and this also saves electricity as well.
