Hello first time here, I saw the prompt and I loved it.
If there is one thing that arises every day it is several expenditures. Most times one will be willing to live a minimalist kind of life but then the economy of the country isn’t pleasing at all. There are so certain things I wish I could reduce but then it has been quite difficult as a student who is struggling to meet up with certain expenses.
One of these expenditures is Food, before now I try to be minimal when it comes to food. I am someone who likes home-cooked meals so I try to make my meals myself also before now the cost of cooking is way less than the cost of purchasing food outside.
These days, cooking food has become so expensive as everything is now expensive. Every day you go to the market there is a new price for everything.
I can’t stop purchasing food as I need to eat. It has been difficult because most times I try to spend less but then I end up not even getting anything at all. Reducing the financial burden when it comes to purchasing food has been hectic.
I have noticed how strenuous this is. So I think one way I have been able to tackle this problem is by buying in bulk. Before now I would just buy things only when I wanted to cook, but when I noticed that every new day things are now twice more expensive than the previous I try to buy things in bulk. I make a list of whatever I will be needing at home and then purchase it together. I think this way I have been able to reduce the burden.
Another expenditure in my life right now is Data Subscription, I think this expenditure needs to be reduced. Yes, I need to subscribe because I need to write on Hive and also I need it for my school assignment. Recently I noticed how data does not last as long as before and I try to figure out if I am using too much of it as I do not want to spend sim much on it.
I have been spending too much on data subscriptions. I will subscribe now and the next minute my data is said to be exhausted. This is so tiring as I really do not know what I use it for but then I need data to use the internet.
I realize that I can reduce this by just subscribing to my usual, so the things I need to do and turn off my data, I try to reduce the number of apps running on my phone to avoid the use up of data and too much subscription.
This has been able to reduce the expenses a little. Hopefully, it will reduce it completely. There are always expenses and it all depends on how we can tackle them to live a simple life and save up for important things.
Thank you for stopping by my blog
It's disheartening how the rising cost of living affects even the most basic necessities like food. Your approach of buying in bulk to alleviate the financial burden is smart and practical. It's a small adjustment that can make a big difference in stretching your budget, @snake game.

Yeah, I think after food, right up there is data expenditures. But the good thing about data is, if you use it wisely, the money you spend on it kind of comes back to you so you can bear the cost.
Really relatable, dear. Well-done.🌹

That's right. Food and data really take up a lot, especially in this current time. It is nice knowing you have found ways to work things out.

Lol! I think we are on the same page, most at times, I wish I could reduce the food expenses but that is one expenditure we cannot cut off nor even reduce. It is difficult to.
You are right, food is very important, so cutting down on the expense is difficult
