Show #346 – Alexx Stuart: Low Tox Budgets – How To Save Money, Part 1 – Food + Personal Care


About this show:

On this week’s show, after hearing from lots of community members trying to save money right now in all sorts of ways, I’m sharing lots of different ways both conceptually and practically, that you can save money when it comes to the way you approach cooking, to the way you approach personal care. We unpack the pull of the cultural norm, and how asking yourself, “What do I really need vs. what do I feel I should do when it comes to XYZ…” I discuss:

🥘Cooking – the use of the freezer and pantry as your ultimate discount store

🍘Being mindful of a culture that has us thinking cuisine-hopping every night of the week is ‘good’. 

🥗Tips for localising your food sources to save and connect

🌿Tips for making the most of your village

👌🏽Theming your cooking for sanity and what that looks like

🤔Considering 50% when talking about the ‘non-essentials’

Then with personal care, we discuss:

💄Beauty demands vs. where we’re personally at

👥Connecting with friends instead of expensive services

✁Considering what you can use less of 

🙌🏼The simplest of high performance DIYs

And so much more…

And of course, you can find all you need over at www.lowtoxlife.com
