Budget Wise
We have all become more conscious about how we spend our money. At first glance, it might seem expensive to do the healthy road and buy all-natural products. And if we are honest some of them do come with a bit of a bigger price tag.
Viewing it from a different angle, however, does change the story. Let's look at a few tips to help you to live a natural lifestyle on a budget.
1. Buying Bulk
If you have looked at the What to do pages, you will see there is a few basics with natural ingredients, like baking soda. You will be amazed at how versatile and effective a cleaning medium it is. So you use a lot of it, and buy that in bulk at places like Marco or Baking shop will save you loads of money. And there are a few general household items that you never knew could be used so effectively and versatile. And it just makes sense to buy them in bulk.
2. Fewer Products
Most of our cleaning and first aid cabinets has bottles in there you have not used in years. By replacing your commercial products, you will quickly realise you do not need all of them. You will also learn how diverse one essential oil can be. Like lavender, the army swiss knife of essential oils, an oil I will never be without again. It is a winner from skincare to first aid.
3. Reducing your waste
Every product you buys, come in some sort of a container. You can be sure the price you pay includes the cost of the container. Buying products that are concentrated, you can dilute in some bottle over and over again. So it is not only cost-effective, but you reduce your waste too.
4. A Sustainable Brand
Look for a brand that you trust. They must have high-quality, plant-based products and a wide variety of product ranges. If their heart is truly "green", they will provide concentrated products one can dilute. This not only reduces plastic waste but also your carbon footprint. Their operating side of the business should transparently display their environmental sustainability practices. *
5. With a Loyalty Plan
Loyalty programmes are very common. Everyone from your grocery shop to your gym has one. Look for the one that provides buy-back points and bonuses for buy quantity. It does not sound impressive, till you start experiencing results. A loyalty plan adds up...*
