1. Don’t go to the Supermarket.

When you have to make your purchase, request it at home. In general, when we go to the supermarket, we buy more things than we really need. In my case, I save about 40% by ordering via an app. rather than going directly to the supermarket.

2. Eat Before you Buy Food.

Yes, if we go to the supermarket hungry, our unconscious constantly asks us for food, and we tend to buy more items than we should. It also applies if you order by delivery. It is why it is highly recommended to eat something that makes you feel satisfied before starting food shopping.

3. Don’t buy Street Food.

Whether for office or home, you know that you will save more by preparing your own food than buying it already made. In addition, it will help you eat healthier.

4. Please, don’t Drink Alcohol.

No, no, don’t worry, it’s only for a month. If you must go to lunch or dinner and pay yourself, do not order alcoholic beverages. Also, avoid buying it for use around the house. Bills tend to go down a lot without alcoholic drinks. You will save and incidentally you can lose a little weight.

5. Enjoy your Home for a Month

Staying at home watching a series or reading a book will not kill you; on the contrary, one needs to rest and disconnect. Avoid outside the home during this period, even when invited, as an unexpected expense can always occur.

6. Don’t Buy Clothes

If you are invited to a particular place, think about it before buying new clothes. Indeed you have the perfect clothing. Wash the clothes that you have dirty and fix your wardrobe. You will likely find that perfect outfit for the occasion and even realize that you have more clothes than you need.

7. Take Advantage of your Accumulated Points or Rewards

8. Save on services for that Month.

Use what is necessary for electricity, gas, and other services that do not have a fixed rate. We usually leave electronic devices unnecessarily, avoid doing so, and create awareness of saving energy and resources.

No, it’s not that you’re stingy; you have to make a few sacrifices to achieve certain things. Remember step by step; it is only for a month and a good cause.
