Day 11 of lowering my cost of living WELCOME TO DAY 11 OF LOWERING MY COST OF LIVING. THING EVERY DAY FOR 30 DAYS TO LOWER MY COST OF LIVING. RECENTLY, MY SISTER CLEANED OUT HER AND SHE SENT ME A PICTURE AND SAID, HEY, THESE LOOFAHS? I DON'T USE LOOFAHS. AND I SAID, HELL YES I DO. I USE LOOFAHS. SO I USUALLY BUY MY LOOFAHS AT THE DOLLAR TREE FOR $1 25 EACH. AND SHE GAVE ME FOUR LOOFAHS. AND I USUALLY REPLACE MY LOOFAHS EVERY 30 DAYS. SO MY COST OF LOOFAH IS $1.25 PER MONTH. 1.25+162.72 163.97 SO IF YOU ADD $1 25 TO MY DAY 10 TOTAL OF A TWO DOLLARS AND SEVENTY TWO CENTS. I HAVE LOWERED MY COST OF LIVING THIS MONTH BY A HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE DOLLARS AND NINETY SEVEN CENTS. AND I HAVE THREE MORE LOOFAHS TO USE FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS. COME BACK TOMORROW FOR DAY TWELVE.

Small wins are still wins!! I love free stuff and luckily my sister and I always think of each other if we’re getting rid of something the other person might want. #costofliving #frugalliving #lowincome #freestuff #sistergoals
