10 THINGS YOU CAN SAVE ON WITHOUT REALIZING IT
People! I'm almost broke again. Which is quite a tricky thing when you need this Gucci belt , otherwise you'll die. And that's why I've quickly thought of 10 things I will start saving on from now on. Without really realizing it, of course, because no one likes to save money, not even a dog.
I think dogs probably don't like saving money either.
Alright, here we go. I've written them down in the you-form, because I think these tips are so great that they are universal.
1. Let's mainly talk about my/your expensive coffee to go's. I don't know about you, but I get about six of them weekly. Which means a whole lot of money slips away each month unnoticed: a phenomenon that is also known as ‘the latte factor’ . Moreover, it's very hip and smart and tastier to just drink filter coffee. So that's what I say: buy a cool coffee cup, put filter coffee in it and go with that banana because bananas are very hip. YAASSS.
2. From now on, you will do your groceries (online) once a week instead of daily. Why? First of all, it's more relaxing, and secondly, it's cheaper. For example, I spend 20 to 30 euros daily in the supermarket in all haste, while it should be possible to do weekly groceries for 125 euros. That's what I say: smart. Very smart. Wow, I'm so smart again! It should be illegal, so much smartness!
3. Another good plan: go out to eat at your parents' place, even if they make that weird endive dish or rutabaga.
4. I know it's well made. Just go out to eat at your best friend’s place, even if she makes pasta bolognese while you don't eat carbohydrates. No problem, no problem, you can eat wine.
“Wow, I'm so smart again!”
5. You know what, just go out to eat with everyone who enjoys being in your divine presence! There are probably a whole lot of them! At least in my case!
6. Do extensive research on which restaurant has the best house wine and then order the house wine. The house wine, that is. No cocktails. No aperitifs. No champagne. No whiskey. No gin and tonics. The house wine. Like here at GlouGlou. The house wine, that is.
7. Cook in advance and freeze. The idea is that in the morning before you go to work, you take the dish out of the freezer, which will make you feel super guilty about the sad, wilting meal on the counter. And that you actually eat this and DO NOT ORDER SUSHI BECAUSE SUSHI IS NOT AN OPTION REALLY NOT.
8. Sell that unused but still beautiful designer bag or coat. And I hereby tell you that you won't regret it. Really not. Because there was a test recently, and it turned out that if you haven't worn something for a year, you will never wear it again. So sell that old but still beautiful designer bag and do it quickly, for example via TheNextCloset.com. And no, don't go buy something now, you need to sell something. You need to get rid of something. For money. Goodness, do I have to hold your hand for everything?
9. If you absolutely have to take a taxi, and you often do, sometimes things just have to happen in life, then you go with the supersonic taxi Abel. Where you determine via the app where you want to be picked up and whether you want to share your taxi. And yes, you do want that. The more flexible you are, the lower your costs.
10. I actually don't know anything more. Or well, I know one more. Reuse the large jars of Belgian mayonnaise from the Appie. You know, those very large jars of mayo that you have in your fridge. They are perfect jars for your coffee (beans), which you now have at home because you drink filter coffee. But you can also put tealights in them, or tea bags, or oatmeal; you can think of anything. That's what I say: another reason to get a new jar of mayo.
But what were we talking about again? About the feline Gucci belt indeed. Goodness, how much I want that belt. Is there maybe someone who wants to give me the Gucci belt? To be honest, it would save me a lot of trouble if I look at the above. The address of the editorial office is Pilotenstraat 23 in Amsterdam. Thanks in advance.
