Expenses have gone up to the sky since my precious one was born.Dont get me wrong.I am not complaining but when there is a baby there should be a serious budgeting.
I really intended to breastfeed my baby but due to some circumstances and health issues , it hindered me from doing so. Also, I wanted to use cloth diaper but even though my mom has been helping a hand I did not want to burden her with washing soiled cloth diaper from time to time.
I have not been working since February and now I have very limited mobility due to my surgery. So many bills to pay and daily expenses to boot.
I try to save as much as I can. Here is how I do it.
I do my own hair treatment instead of going to the salon. I use Virgin coconut oil.
I was advised to take calcium supplements.Instead of buying tablets, I just boil Moringa leaves since I have it in my frontyard.
I am planning to buy organic cloth menstrual pads. I can save money and avoid infection.
I am still thinking of other ways to save money.
Any suggestions?
