Stop wasting money on these, mom!

Here are 10 areas moms can stop wasting money on to promote mindful spending:

1. Trendy Baby Gear: Focus on essentials instead of the latest, overly-hyped gadgets that are used for a short time.

2. Fast Fashion for Kids: Kids outgrow clothes quickly, so stick to versatile, high-quality basics that last longer.

3. Overpriced Kids’ Snacks: Opt for homemade, healthier snacks instead of expensive pre-packaged options. It’s also healthier to do home cooked food!

4. Excessive Toys: Kids often play with a few favorites, so limit toy purchases and encourage creativity with what they have. Switch around, let them feel fresh again. They usually are more curious about household items example, remote control 😂

5. Unused Subscription Services: Regularly review entertainment or shopping subscriptions and cancel those not in active use.

5. Impulse Purchases at Sales: Resist buying items just because they’re discounted. Ask yourself if it’s something you truly need. (Guilty as charged! But if you need it in the near future, sure!) Also, avoid buying items you already have just because they’re misplaced. Organizing your home can help reduce wasteful purchases.

6. Convenience Foods: Eating out as a family can cost a bomb. Meal planning and prepping can save both money and time.

7. Not Maximising Your Exercise Classes: consider if you might be better off doing running or watching online exercise video instead ?

8. Extravagant Party Supplies: Keep birthday parties simple and fun with DIY decorations!

9. Expensive Beauty Products: Stick to a simple, EFFECTIVE skincare routine rather than splurging on the latest trendy beauty items that may not deliver real benefits or too much of hearsay from others (which may not work for you!)

10. CLOTHES: 🤣 How about consider exchanging with your close friends for a wardrobe refresh!

Do these and you will realize that you can cut down on expenses 😊
