1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,400 Don't buy from her, she's a piece of work. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:09,160 OK, I'm Ronnie and you're listening to Clean With Me, the 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,640 podcast where I walk you through cleaning your house step by 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,040 step. When you clean along with this 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,240 show, you'll get more done in less time, so you can spend the 6 00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:22,160 rest of your day doing what matters most to you. 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,080 In today's episode, I'm going to talk you through a few daily 8 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:29,360 minimums. There are certain things where 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,320 if you do them, it keeps you afloat. 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,640 Not every day is a deep cleaning day, of course, but doing these 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,440 daily minimums and getting into the habit of doing these daily 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,640 minimums can be a game changer. And I'm going to talk about a 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,120 topic that a financial supporter requested that I address on this 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:59,080 podcast, and that is budgeting during Hard times, maybe you 15 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,239 need to get presentable and fixed up for the day, put on 16 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,120 something you're comfortable in and that you feel good in, and 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,880 maybe even put on some shoes, especially if there are crumbs 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,480 or grit, dirt, whatever on your floors in the kitchen or if you 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,480 have hard floors elsewhere. It can feel a lot better to have 20 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,800 shoes on. I do sometimes clean barefoot, 21 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,360 but if I know that my kitchen floor has seen better days, I'll 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,240 put on some slides or even some comfortable tennis shoes to 23 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,960 clean in. Another thing you might want to 24 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,160 do to gear up for your cleaning session. 25 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,160 And this can be a daily minimum. Well, let me put it to you this 26 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,120 way. Even if you don't wash laundry 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:53,840 every day, you need to at least think about laundry and wash 28 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,720 something if needed, basically. So if you're in kind of survival 29 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,760 mode, you might need to do a load of towels and underwear or 30 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,560 uniforms, work clothes for yourself or someone else. 31 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,080 You know what needs to be done. Or maybe it's been more than a 32 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960 week or two since you've washed your own bedding. 33 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,960 You can get those sheets into the washer. 34 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,800 Just basically, if you need to do a load of laundry that can be 35 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,960 part of your minimums for today. Or maybe you're in a state of 36 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040 overwhelm and you have some clothes in the washing machine 37 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,080 that you forgot to put into the dryer. 38 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,560 You might need to rewash that load with some laundry detergent 39 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,400 and a little bit of white vinegar. 40 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,440 But of course, if you're trying to save money, set an alarm so 41 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,560 that you don't end up rewashing stuff. 42 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,880 I mean, do that anyway if you tend to forget. 43 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,840 Another thing you might want to do, and I'm not expecting you to 44 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,120 do all of this. Everybody has different things 45 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,920 around their house that need to be done. 46 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,120 But you might want to do something to get your house 47 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,880 smelling good. Something that cost you $0.00 is 48 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,360 opening the windows and letting some fresh air circulate 49 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,760 through. I often talk about lighting a 50 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,200 candle or starting some fresh wax in the wax warmer, but the 51 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,280 person who requested that I talk about this is in a tight 52 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,840 financial situation. So one possible way of getting 53 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,400 your house smelling good if you don't have any candles or or or 54 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,600 wax melts on hand is just kind of making it a homemade 55 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,960 potpourri out of things that you may already have on hand. 56 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,240 Basically boiling a small pot of water on the stove, tossing in 57 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,480 things like cinnamon sticks and orange peels, maybe a little 58 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,120 vanilla. Basically when money is tight, 59 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,320 you you wanna use things that you already have on hand rather 60 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,200 than going out and buying anything. 61 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,640 So that's an alternate way of getting your house smelling 62 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,080 good. I used to have a small like a 63 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280 miniature slow cooker. I guess it was for like keeping 64 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,880 a cheese sauce warm or something. 65 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:16,120 I never really used it for that. I used it as a wax warmer and 66 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,600 then sometimes I used it as a potpourri warmer. 67 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,800 You know, sometimes you got to be creative. 68 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:25,160 Instead of going out and getting a new gadget, just use something 69 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,400 you already have around the house, whether it's a pot on the 70 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,880 stove or a little mini crockpot. By now you've had time to gear 71 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,000 up for your cleaning session. It's time to quickly straighten 72 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,400 up the front entrance or your main living area, whichever area 73 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,240 needs your attention. And maybe your your front 74 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,120 entrance and living area are one and the same, or maybe they're 75 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,800 two different rooms. Let's do a quick straighten of 76 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,680 these key areas, and then when you're done doing that, you're 77 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,880 gonna wanna gather up any dirty dishes from around the house and 78 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,880 get those to the sink. Dishes are always gonna be part 79 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,800 of your minimums. You've got to keep your house 80 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,240 functioning by keeping up on dishes and laundry, and then 81 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,200 keep it under control by picking up. 82 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,200 You'd be surprised what a 5 minute pickup can do, and that's 83 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,600 what I want you to be working on. 84 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,200 Right now is just a 5 minute pickup of your front entrance, 85 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,520 main living area, or whichever area of your home needs 86 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,400 attention. And sometimes you can go through 87 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,680 your whole house in 5 minutes depending on the state of it. 88 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,880 While you're working on that, I'll talk about cleaning 89 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,320 products. This person asked me about my 90 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,960 favorite affordable cleaning products. 91 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,640 The cleaning products that I use when I'm trying to tighten my 92 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,840 belt, first of all, are just things that I already have on 93 00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,680 hand. The cheapest cleaning product 94 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 you could ever use is something you already got have on hand 95 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240 because that way you don't have to buy something else. 96 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,240 So I encourage you during times when you're trying not to spend 97 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,200 money to go through your bathroom cupboards, your 98 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,160 cupboard up above the refrigerator, wherever you keep 99 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,480 your cleaning products. Maybe maybe you have some extra 100 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,840 things out in the garage. Maybe you left some glass 101 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:26,360 cleaner out in the garage from when you were cleaning your car 102 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,320 windshield or something. During tough times, you gather 103 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,680 up those products that are scattered around your house and 104 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,240 garage and you use whatever those are. 105 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,200 But as far as buying products, if you've been listening to the 106 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,960 show for a while, you know that I encourage pampering yourself 107 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,400 by buying nice products that you enjoy using. 108 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Whether it's an expensive spray in your favorite scent for 109 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:05,360 cleaning your countertops and table tops, or maybe a multi 110 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:10,080 surface spray that makes your cleaning easier because it just 111 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,080 works on every possible surface. A glass and surface cleaner 112 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,000 basically that works on every surface in your home. 113 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,000 But that having been said, if I was in a financial spot, I would 114 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,360 clean my entire house using Commodore Ajax, which is a super 115 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,760 affordable bleach powder. You know, if, if you're not in 116 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,960 the US, maybe there's a different brand that you use or 117 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,120 whatever. Most of you know what Commodore 118 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,480 Ajax is. I mean, I kind of think Windex 119 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,240 works better than generic, but when I'm trying to save money, 120 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:51,760 if I get some Ajax, some generic glass cleaner and some liquid 121 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120 dish soap, I'm pretty good to go. 122 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,600 And of course, laundry detergent. 123 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,480 And that's another thing I kind of downgrade my laundry 124 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,240 detergent. I usually like to use the all 125 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,800 free and clear, but when I'm trying to save money, sometimes 126 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,440 I get the arm and hammer one that's in the white container. 127 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320 I mean, it's, it's really hard to test them out and see which 128 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,280 one works better. I I feel like the all is a 129 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,920 little bit better, but I use the arm and hammer when I'm trying 130 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,480 to save money. If I had nothing in the house, I 131 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,320 would buy a container of Comet or Ajax. 132 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:33,880 That would be for cleaning out my sinks, bathtubs, toilets, 133 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:38,039 toilet bowls, etcetera. And then some generic glass 134 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:44,360 cleaner, of course, for Windows, mirrors and the liquid dish soap 135 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,680 would, would be what I would use on my kitchen counters and 136 00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:53,000 whatnot. And I'd buy a large container of 137 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,840 the dish soap because it's more affordable when you buy it, you 138 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,160 know, in large quantities. I mean, those are the bare 139 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,960 minimum cleaning products. By now you've picked up your 140 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,680 house. I'll talk about some other 141 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,960 things you can use. But by now you've picked up your 142 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,120 house or at least those key areas. 143 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,720 It's time to gather up dirty dishes, if you haven't already 144 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,720 done so, and take those to the sink or next to the sink. 145 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360 I I mean, if you have a huge sink and only a few dishes, you 146 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,920 might be placing everything in the sink. 147 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,520 But I normally place them next to the sink before I wash 148 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,040 because when I want to start with a clean sink, when I go to 149 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,960 wash dishes. So I want to clean out the sink 150 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,200 first 'cause sometimes people leave random things in the sink 151 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,600 and there's food or whatever. You want to clean out your sink 152 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,360 before you begin and then you want to start filling up one 153 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,840 side if it's a 2 sided sink with the hot water and dish soap and 154 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,080 then you might be pre rinsing on the other side and then placing 155 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,160 items into that dishwater. But you might have a sink with 156 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,760 just one basin. I'm not one of those influencers 157 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,440 that has that huge sink with a little protective grid in the 158 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,760 bottom. No, I've just got an old school 159 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,120 sink that's two sided. Maybe you're starting on that 160 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,040 for sink load, or you need to empty, reload and run your 161 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,960 dishwasher. Or maybe you need to get some 162 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,720 difficult items soaking before you begin. 163 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,280 Or you might need to empty your drying rack, empty your 164 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,240 dishwasher, or maybe a little bit of everything. 165 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,720 Lately I've been, I mentioned this in another episode, I'm not 166 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,800 sure if it was a bonus episode or regular, but lately I've been 167 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,400 doing a thing where I do the pre rinse of all the small stuff 168 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,880 that you know, like I've always done the cups, silverware, 169 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,120 plates. I get that stuff into the 170 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,040 dishwasher, but I don't start it immediately because I don't want 171 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,920 to compromise the water pressure while I'm washing other items in 172 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,840 the sink. So if you feel like your 173 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,280 dishwasher is less effective certain times than others, it 174 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,360 could be that you're running water at the same time as 175 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,680 running your dishwasher. So it's not going to hurt 176 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:16,920 anything to let that dirty stuff sit as long as you start the 177 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,800 dishwasher before you leave the kitchen. 178 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,960 As far as budgeting, you need to go through your bank account 179 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:32,720 history for the last month or two and start writing down how 180 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,200 much you spend on each item. You can also have a stack of 181 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480 bills in front of you, but a lot of us go paperless with most of 182 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,360 our bills. So the best way to do it is to 183 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,120 look over your bank account. You probably have an app on your 184 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,560 phone. Go over your transaction history 185 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,880 for the last couple of months and jot down how much you paid 186 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,760 for your for your electric bill, your water bill, how much you 187 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,760 spent on groceries, et cetera. And then armed with that 188 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,560 information, you're either going to create a spreadsheet or you 189 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:12,240 can download the free version of the Every Dollar app or some 190 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280 other budgeting app I use Every Dollar. 191 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,480 Also, spending more time at home will save you a lot of money, so 192 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,760 keeping a clean house can help keep your spirits high while 193 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,880 you're sitting around the house. Instead of getting together with 194 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,000 a friend. You can put in earbuds and talk 195 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600 on the phone while you clean. Once you run out of these 196 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,680 episodes or whatever, be working on dishes, whatever that means 197 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,520 for you. And then of course, when you're 198 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,080 done with the dishes, give your countertops and stove top a 199 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,680 swipe. And to really get your kitchen 200 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:48,440 looking good, be sure to wipe the fronts of your large 201 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,280 appliances. That's where that, you know, 202 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520 generic glass cleaner or your vinegar mixture would come into 203 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,840 play. And maybe you also need to wipe 204 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,360 down cabinets and stuff. But this is kind of your 205 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,760 minimum. So you're gonna wanna do your 206 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,000 dishes, clean your sink, the area around the faucet, the 207 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,240 stove top, countertops, tabletop if you've used the table 208 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,440 recently, and then of course, sweep. 209 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,040 Some of you need to sweep your kitchen every day. 210 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,880 If you hate it, get a vacuum. But you need to sweep or vacuum 211 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,440 your kitchen floor every day if there are a lot of crumbs. 212 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,280 It could be that you have dogs who are tracking in like sand if 213 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,000 you live in an area like my area. 214 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,760 Or it could be kids dropping crumbs. 215 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,000 Or a combination of both. But some of you might be 216 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920 thinking I only need to sweep the kitchen like once a week or 217 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,160 whatever. Another reason you might need to 218 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,960 sweep the kit kitchen floor often is cooking from scratch. 219 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,160 You or your spouse is chopping and stuff flying, then that's a 220 00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,520 reason to sweep daily as well. But while you're working in the 221 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,160 kitchen, I'll talk about some other affordable cleaning 222 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,640 products. You could cut your old bath 223 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,880 towels into rags instead of buying cleaning rags. 224 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,240 You don't absolutely have to have a sponge. 225 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,480 You can use just a scrub brush on a handle to pre rinse your 226 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,920 dishes and then a dish rag to wipe them. 227 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,960 The way I my husband and I like washing dishes by hand is we 228 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,920 like using the scrub mommy. Before we were using that, we 229 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,600 were using a Scotch Brite sponge, but we like using a 230 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,840 sponge that has a rough abrasives side for scraping 231 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,600 stuff off and then a soft side to, you know, get the greasiness 232 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,920 off. Basically, you you need both, 233 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:53,280 but alternatively, you can use a scrub brush on a handle and just 234 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,680 a a dishcloth or AKA dish rag. And those items last longer than 235 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,440 the sponges that need to be replaced. 236 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720 So that's that's another way you can save there. 237 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,360 But again, saving money on cleaning products and cleaning 238 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,680 tools kind of goes against my philosophy of pampering yourself 239 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,600 when you're cleaning. But at the same time, we all 240 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,720 have those times where we're we're trying to tighten, tighten 241 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,840 our belts like do a do a no spend month where all we're 242 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,320 spending on is just food and nothing else. 243 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,160 And Speaking of using rags instead of disposable sponges, 244 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,560 this isn't really cleaning related per SE, but you could 245 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,000 quit buying paper towels for a while. 246 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,640 A while back I bought some reusable paper towel. 247 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,640 Well, not paper towels, but paper towel substitutes where 248 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,240 they were these cute little, I don't know how to explain them, 249 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,120 but one side had like a, a, a print fabric that had like 250 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,840 coffee and coffee mugs and the word coffee on it or something 251 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,200 like that. And then the other side was kind 252 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,400 of a Terry cloth like a towel. And then they had little snaps. 253 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,800 So basically you could create a roll of these towels and put it 254 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,360 on a tape paper towel holder and then use them in place of paper 255 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,440 towels. It was kind of a gimmick, but it 256 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,400 was super cute. And obviously when you get stuff 257 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,600 like that, like other people in your household don't really get 258 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,320 it and they're just kind of throwing those in the drawer and 259 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,600 using them for cleaning rags or whatever. 260 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,440 But for a while we did the whole cloth paper towel thing and it 261 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,480 was cute. I had a falling out with the 262 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,040 person, so I'm not going to be promoting it. 263 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,000 I might have promoted in an old episode. 264 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,800 Don't buy from her. She's a piece of work. 265 00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,320 OK, but you don't have to get some fancy reusable paper towels 266 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,280 either. You can just use dish towels in 267 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,720 the kitchen instead of paper towels for cleaning up messes 268 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,359 and whatnot. And if you were buying napkins 269 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,040 or you were using paper towels as napkins like we do, 'cause we 270 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,119 just, you know how the paper towels allow you to tear off 271 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,960 like half of a paper towel? That's what we use as napkins. 272 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,920 I know when my mom comes over, she's super appalled. 273 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,360 Like, do you have any napkins? Like she doesn't really get the 274 00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,680 whole using paper towels as napkins thing. 275 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:37,360 But whether your team paper towels as napkins or you buy 276 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:44,600 actual napkins, you can use real napkins to save money. 277 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,440 It's just not always practical in every family. 278 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,840 Everybody's lifestyle is different, but when my husband 279 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,000 and I first got married, he had two kids from a previous 280 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,200 marriage who would spend the night like once a week. 281 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:05,160 But for the most part, it was me, him, and then we had a had a 282 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,120 baby shortly after we got married. 283 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,320 So most dinners were just, you know, the, the three of us 284 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,120 basically. And so we had these blue cloth 285 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:19,160 napkins that went in the little napkin holders and then we had a 286 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,440 matching tablecloth. But I feel like later on when I 287 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,840 had a bunch of kids and I would try to do cloth napkins, they 288 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,880 were just kind of getting lost in the clean laundry pile or 289 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,640 something. So may not be practical for your 290 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,440 family, but if if you're just a couple or a small family and 291 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,880 you're not overwhelmed with clean laundry, you're putting 292 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,920 away laundry as you go, The the cloth napkins could be the way 293 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,280 to go and they feel elegant too. By now your dishes are probably 294 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,880 done and hopefully you're wiping down countertops. 295 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,720 Remember, you can just use dish soap and dish rag. 296 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,040 You know, dish soap, hot water in a dish rag. 297 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,760 That's the way my husband wipes down the countertops. 298 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,760 I never really see him using my little fancy sprays. 299 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,080 That's just something I like to use and I usually, truth be 300 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560 told, I usually clean the countertops with dish soap 1st 301 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,080 and then I just use those sprays as a finishing touch. 302 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,720 And part of it is kind of an aromatherapy experience for me. 303 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,120 I like the way that that those sprays smell, you know like the 304 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,600 method or the Myers or whatever. This is not sponsored, but you 305 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,800 know, nice smelling products and you might even like the smell of 306 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,960 strong cleaning products like like some kind of Lysol or 307 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,880 Clorox spray. My point is though, that we 308 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,080 don't have to use those fancy sprays to get our kitchen clean. 309 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,920 We can wipe down the countertops, stove top, cabinets 310 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,440 with a damp cloth with dish soap on it, and then we can use a 311 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,640 generic glass cleaner to wipe down the fronts of our. 312 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,720 Stainless steel appliances and the windows on those appliances, 313 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,400 meaning like the microwave window, the oven window, all in 314 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,480 one fell swoop. And it doesn't take long to wipe 315 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,640 those surfaces. So as soon as you're done, I 316 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,800 encourage you to sweep your kitchen floor. 317 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:28,880 And Speaking of mopping, your mop fluid could be a mixture of 318 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,440 white vinegar and water. It could be a mixture of liquid 319 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:40,280 dish soap and glass cleaner. Just get creative with whatever 320 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,680 you have on hand. I don't always buy the pre 321 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,520 moistened swiffer pads or a special mop liquid, but I do 322 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,760 just fill my sink up with some type of cleaning product in hot 323 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,200 water when I don't have anything else to mop with. 324 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,680 So you can mop with whatever. Or maybe you have some other 325 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,200 minimums that you need to run and do, like make your bed. 326 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,920 Making your bed instantly makes your bedroom look better and can 327 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,040 encourage you to kind of pick up clutter throughout the day. 328 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,400 Or maybe there's a a clean laundry pile you want to work 329 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,080 on. I know after I record this 330 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,240 episode, I'm planning to run my kids to school and then come 331 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:31,120 back and tackle that clean laundry basket that I have in my 332 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:32,360 room. And it's a little more than a 333 00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,680 basket. I did away with this like bin 334 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,680 that I had in there, but somehow my husband started putting clean 335 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,440 clothes into a large plastic tub that's bigger than a laundry 336 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,600 basket. So it's it feels a little 337 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,120 overwhelming and I want to get that stuff put away. 338 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,160 So your minimum might be getting caught up on those clean 339 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,240 clothes. And if it takes you a long time 340 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,360 to find something to wear and get out the door, that's your 341 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:07,520 sign to put away that residual pile of clean laundry. 342 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,160 I feel like it's not always one of my daily minimums, but it 343 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,520 should be. I definitely want to do that 344 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,400 today. I spent a lot of time in my 345 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,400 kitchen yesterday. So today is more of a laundry 346 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,240 focus. And sometimes there's just 347 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,080 something that your spouse's pet peeve, you know, if he wants the 348 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,640 TV remote to be, you know, on the side table in the living 349 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,840 room when he gets off work or on the bed, or he's he's hoping 350 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,200 there's a clean towel hanging up in the bathroom. 351 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,080 These little things that take minutes to do can help you avoid 352 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,520 a lot of arguments. And don't get me wrong, there 353 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,560 are things he should be doing for you too. 354 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,400 Yes, we should overlook certain things, but we all have things 355 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:58,800 that are fairly important to us. I I watched a video online where 356 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,960 a husband just wanted his wife to wipe the kids faces like 357 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,000 before he got home from work. I guess he didn't like the whole 358 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,120 buggery situation where their noses are running and there's 359 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:18,000 food and whatever. Like he, he wanted her to have 360 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,600 started dinner and wipe the kids faces off or something. 361 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,760 And really that's not a lot. She might have felt like 362 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,080 overwhelmed with housework or whatever, but she probably could 363 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,120 have let some of the housework slide to do like those two 364 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:36,520 things. They were in marriage counseling 365 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,320 or whatever. So of course there were a couple 366 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,720 things that she wanted him to do. 367 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,280 I just don't remember what they were. 368 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,200 It didn't really stand out to me. 369 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,400 It wasn't really relatable, but there were certain things she 370 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,120 wanted him to do and then so it was like he had to start doing, 371 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,520 you know, 2 two things and she had to start doing two things. 372 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,680 And it made a huge difference. And when I'm at work and my 373 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,040 husband's at home, I'm wanting him to at least have a plan for 374 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,840 dinner or to have started dinner. 375 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:09,360 I don't really ask for anything else, but I do like it when the 376 00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:13,600 beds made, the bedrooms picked up, the the living rooms picked 377 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,280 up. I mean, of course I like coming 378 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,800 home to a clean house, but it's not one of those non negotiable 379 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,240 things that I have to have. Like I'm more worried about the 380 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,600 food. That could be your spouse. 381 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,200 I don't know. So maybe you're cleaning a room, 382 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,480 making a bed, sweeping, vacuuming, you know, some, some 383 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,160 husbands had a mom who like got up early in the morning and 384 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,800 vacuumed every day. I had a grandma who did that. 385 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,920 My mother-in-law did that. Some husbands expect that just 386 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,600 be working on whatever else needs to be done, whether it's 387 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,280 something that you like to have done or that you're doing for 388 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,440 your spouse because obviously you want to do it makes you feel 389 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,080 at peace as well. But relationships are about 390 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,800 compromise. So sometimes you have to do 391 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,720 something that you don't think is important to make the other 392 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,960 person happy. And then hopefully they'll do 393 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,440 the same and you can negotiate about that like, hey, I'll start 394 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,000 doing XYZ if you'll just do this. 395 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,360 The person who wanted to know about cleaning products during 396 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,800 during hard times also talked about saving money on food. 397 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,680 I'm really big on the stockpiling method, where you 398 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,880 leave a little room in your grocery budget, whether it's 399 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:35,200 1015 or $20, to stock up on something that you normally buy, 400 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,480 but it's on sale because as you do that, you develop a stockpile 401 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:47,320 and over time you'll stop paying full price for the products you 402 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,240 buy on a regular basis. The key is that you're not just 403 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,080 stocking up on every single thing in the store that's on 404 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,080 sale, because then you're going to go over your budget. 405 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,440 The key is just allowing some of your budget to go towards 406 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,160 stockpiling. And also, like Dave Ramsey says, 407 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,960 you know, eat beans and rice. And maybe you need to learn to 408 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,040 cook beans and rice. But, you know, some people 409 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,520 picture a certain meal when they hear beans and rice. 410 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,280 It could be Spanish rice, Pinto beans and tortillas. 411 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,120 And if you made that, you could freeze burritos. 412 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:22,000 You can make burritos and freeze them for easy lunches for the 413 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,040 kids. This person who requested this 414 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,920 episode is homeschooling. I went through a phase where 415 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,680 when I would make burritos for dinner, I would make a bunch of 416 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,920 extra ones and then freeze them individually for easy lunches. 417 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,960 And I was home schooling back then too. 418 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,440 Being on beans and rice could be making baked beans with hot dogs 419 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,800 in it. I try to limit processed meats, 420 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,080 but sometimes, you know, hot dogs can be part of a, an 421 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,320 occasional struggle meal. And it's super good, you know, 422 00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:59,160 in the, in the beans, another struggle meal with hot dogs that 423 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,120 I like. That's just a serious comfort 424 00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,040 food. You, you cut, you get a pack of 425 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,320 you get a pack of hot dogs, you cut them in half. 426 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,880 And then you get a package of biscuits and you wrap the 427 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:16,200 biscuits around the hot dogs and cook them in the oven like that. 428 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,760 And then you dip them in a mixture of ketchup and mustard. 429 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,120 Super yummy, but it it's a rare treat for me that I don't do 430 00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,720 that often. But yeah, I love it. 431 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,880 I mean, I'm usually making biscuit, homemade biscuits and 432 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,400 stuff, but sometimes you can get those cheap biscuits on sale and 433 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,040 hot dogs and that would be a really cheap struggle meal. 434 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,480 I also went through a phase where I was watching a YouTube 435 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,040 channel of a lady that did like depression era cooking and there 436 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,360 was a meal she made that was just potatoes and hot dogs and 437 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,160 that was super delicious when I made it. 438 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,200 But don't eat hot dogs too often. 439 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,360 It's not healthy. Another thing that you might not 440 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:04,960 know about is that in a lot of areas, you can basically stand 441 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,400 in a line for free fresh produce and regardless of income. 442 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,000 And they, they, a lot of times they have trouble getting rid of 443 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,760 this stuff. So like, you don't have to feel 444 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,920 guilty like you're taking it away from the less fortunate. 445 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,320 Like, not everybody's willing to stand in that line for that 446 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,040 produce, and it can definitely save you a lot of money. 447 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,880 Sometimes there's potatoes, cabbage, fruit. 448 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaking of potatoes, another friend of mine uses potatoes in 449 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,720 almost everything she cooks to make it go further. 450 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,680 And I especially like it when my husband makes beef burritos and 451 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:51,240 he chops up potatoes little into little tiny pieces and mixes 452 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,400 those in with the ground beef. I don't think he's doing it to 453 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,480 save money. I think he just does it to make 454 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,600 it taste good. And it does. 455 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,760 So you can add potatoes to your ground beef for your tacos or 456 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,120 burritos. You can also even, you know, add 457 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,000 it to soups, homemade soups. I also recommend making 458 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,200 spaghetti or American goulash at least a once a week. 459 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,400 Most people like pasta. And you can use just a small 460 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,680 amount of ground beef to save money there. 461 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,680 And some of you are probably saying, well, the way to save 462 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,000 money is to have some meatless nights. 463 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,240 Yeah. But my husband wouldn't go for 464 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,520 that. So I use small amounts of meat 465 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,600 and soups when I'm trying to save money and soups and 466 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,480 spaghettis and stuff when I'm trying to save money. 467 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaking of chicken soup, you can cook a roasted chicken one 468 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,720 night, you know, maybe with mashed potatoes as a side dish 469 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,240 or rice, whatever you like. And then you boil that chicken 470 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,960 carcass the next day and make it into soup rather than having to 471 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,520 use like 3 chicken breasts or chicken thighs to make the soup. 472 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,360 Or like I talk about when I cook that bone in Turkey breast in 473 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,240 the crock pot. Last time I made that, like a 474 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,120 day or two later, my husband made Turkey tacos with the 475 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,600 leftover Turkey. And if you don't want to eat the 476 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,720 same thing two nights in a row, you can freeze your leftovers 477 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,040 and then bring them out like a week later. 478 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,240 That way it doesn't feel like you're eating the same thing. 479 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,160 So definitely use your leftovers. 480 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,160 And the person who requested this episode was also talking 481 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,640 about lunch ideas for homeschooled kids. 482 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,720 A big thing that I did when I was homeschooling is I would 483 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,600 make large portions for dinner and then we would reheat the 484 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,320 leftovers for lunch the next day. 485 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,960 Another way to save money is having breakfast for dinner 486 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,000 sometimes. And I know eggs are expensive 487 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000 right now. We have chickens so know our 488 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,160 eggs aren't free. But at this point, it's cheaper 489 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,920 to buy chicken feed than it is to buy eggs in the grocery 490 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,880 store. But when I say breakfast for 491 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,680 dinner, your main dish could be pancakes or biscuits and gravy, 492 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,680 you know, and just, you know, maybe 1 egg per person or 493 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,160 something that that would be an affordable meal as well. 494 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,440 Homemade chili is another meal that I like to make that's 495 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,720 pretty affordable. And I serve it with saltines. 496 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,880 Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, before you vacuum, you 497 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,720 could sprinkle some baking soda on the carpet. 498 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,760 Baking soda is technically a food if you have those type of 499 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,560 benefits. You could get that using your 500 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,280 EBT card. But even if you're just paying 501 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,480 cash for for groceries, baking soda is cheaper than the special 502 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,720 carpet sprinkles or whatever and can serve the same purpose. 503 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,760 I hope you got a lot done during this episode. 504 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,240 Again, get if you're trying to save money, get you some comment 505 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,040 or Ajax. Some generic glass cleaner or 506 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,880 Windex and a spray or white vinegar and a spray bottle. 507 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,120 Cut some rags out of old towels. Use a scrub brush to pre rinse 508 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,680 your dishes. If you can't afford the sponges, 509 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,880 use dish soap to clean virtually everything in your house. 510 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,040 You could even get the antibacterial. 511 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,240 There's soap if you need to clean your bathrooms. 512 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,640 We have episodes for that.
