So my comment is coming in a bit late! Better late than never I guess.
For this week, I had to replace some food stuff like potatoes and onions. Also has to get the light bill sorted and get the gas refilled. Then I set aside money for transportation to and from church. That all was about 45 Hive I spent🥲. That’s N10,000 (£10.64).
Buuuuuuut, I slacked! Big time. I got some doughnuts too 😪 I just craved it so much and felt like I needed a pat on my back for my unrelenting focus! 😫😫😫 it was just two I promise (well four because I got for mom too and they all costs N400 - that’s like £0.10).
I still think I can do better with my finances. I feel like sometimes I loose track of how much leaves my pocket! So, I have decided to take down notes! Hopefully, I can see how to cut down costs at home.
The one way I want to do this is stopping the purchasing of drinking water. Yes. We buy clean water to drink.
But now that we have a home filled with water, I am thinking, I can sterilize the water right? Boiling it does that. Besides, that’s pretty much what these water companies do. And I’ll be saving about 800 naira (£0.85) monthly. I don’t see why I should be buying water when I have lots of it at home.
So the goal is to get containers. I will boil water and wait for it to cool, transfer them into these plastic bottles and put into the fridge. Good idea huh?
That’s it from me this week. I know I will do better.
Doughnuts! 😳
Great idea about the water.
I know know 🥲
