Meet the Cheapskate Housewife Who Saves £1,200 a Month
Jordan Page, a self-proclaimed cheapskate housewife, has revealed her extreme money-saving techniques that have helped her family save a staggering £1,200 a month. From rationing toilet paper to feeding her family leftover food from her neighbors, Jordan’s methods may seem extreme, but they certainly work.
Rationing Toilet Paper and Feeding on Leftovers
Jordan’s family of five lives in a large house worth £800,000, but they didn’t break the bank to get it. Jordan managed to snag the house for half the price, and even moved her parents into the basement, reducing the cost to £170,000. But it’s not just her smart real estate moves that have saved her family a fortune. Jordan rations toilet paper, limiting her family to just 40 rolls a year, down from 300. She also knocks on her neighbors’ doors to ask for leftover food, which she uses to feed her family of five for just £100 a month.
Baking Cookies in the Sun
One of Jordan’s most extreme money-saving hacks is baking cookies without electricity. She simply places them on her car dashboard on a hot day, and lets them bake in the sun. Her children, whom she calls “total cheapskates,” have learned to appreciate the value of a penny.
Cutting Grocery Costs
Jordan’s methods may seem extreme, but they work. According to Money.co.uk, there are several ways to cut the cost of your grocery shop. Here are some tips:
- Write yourself a list and stick to it
- Create a budget and work out a weekly budget for your food shopping
- Never shop hungry
- Don’t buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit
- Use social media to find the latest deals
- Be disloyal and shop around for the best bargains
- Check the small print and compare prices per kg/lb/litre
- Use your loyalty cards and trade in your points for rewards
Frugal living is all about making the most of what you have
