7 Frugal Hacks that I Do to Save
My mantra this year is to live below my means so that I can build enough emergency fund quickly. Some of my frugal hacks might be silly and gross to others, but I don't care. Haha. Feel free to read my frugal hacks that I listed below:
1. I bring packed lunch at the office every day. It saves me 75-150 pesos on buying food at the jolly jeep or fast food chain in Makati CBD.

2. I don't buy cologne or perfume because we use fabric conditioner for our clothes at home, and I shower every day. I'm confident that I don't have a funky smell. LOL. Guys, taking a bath is the key to prevent bad odor.
3. We dilute the shampoo with water. We also do this to our dish washing liquid to maximize the usage.
4. In our house, we use sugar instead of flavor enhancer (MSG/vetsin). I learned it from my former officemate. It is inexpensive and organic too!
5. We save the last part of the laundry water to flush the toilet or clean the bathroom.
6. Instead of riding a UV Express Van (50 pesos fare), I ride a PNR train on my way home. I only paid 10 pesos for my fare, however, when there's a heavy rain or I am not feeling well I ride a UV express instead. Let's say I know when to choose convenience when the weather is bad.
7. We collect empty plastic bottles and papers. We put it in a sack/plastic bag and sell it to a nearby junk shop. Another way to earned additional money!
