Waste not. Want not: I notta.

Write about your approach to budgeting.

This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living.

I notta.

I think it was 2019 or 20’ when I joined Ibotta.

I don’t buy a lot of name brand products.

The cost difference isn’t (typically) worth the bucks.

$20 in 4 years.

For me, this app was not as it appears.

I said a bad word didn’t I? In a ‘I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.’ world of capitalism, I said a bad word, FRUGAL.

As stated in my little poem above, I downloaded the Ibotta app. A co-worker told me all about it. Showed me all the rebates she was getting. So I thought, I’ll give it a whirl. Because I rarely buy named brand products, the ‘$20 in 4 years’ is what it took me.

When my bestie and I go out shopping together; I have a saying, ‘when in doubt, don’t.’ From shoes to soap, if I have the slightest concern about a product, 95% of the time, I’m not buying it.

I did splurge for my birthday and bought myself this beautiful Patricia Nash purse. Even on sale it was a splurge. Earth Nerds unite. 😉
