JenniferHJuly 31 2022, 12:50 Thanks to TopCashback, the cash back i’Ve earned makes me feel I am not actually paying more due to the inflation. The way I tried to save money is to eat out less and buy generic brand products instead.

bbechtel333July 30 2022, 16:54 To save money, I have started to group my errands together with work so I don’T drive around as much because gas is so high.

luvsdealsJuly 30 2022, 12:38 I have changed my spending quite a bit. I eat out less and buy more generic store brand items than before. I am using coupon and shopping apps more than before.

sapphireswellJuly 30 2022, 12:08 Yes, I have been watching how I spend and where. I have also been using price tracking tools to see how prices have gone up or down.

Member734471904405July 29 2022, 16:33 It is so nice to save my money so I can spend it on something else ..

romanraymondJuly 28 2022, 13:54 Trying to get what is neccessary instead of what I want

Member734458769224July 28 2022, 10:13 Trying to only spend on what I really want

viennyJuly 27 2022, 06:39 Before I use to spend only on things I want for the past 6 years I have been telling myself I really need to stop and how I will stop buying thing I don't need. I finally find away to stop thanks to covid and inflation, they really touch me that I have to do with what I have and want I really need not want I want. Its been 3 years now I save lots of money. That only thing that covid and inflation did great for me. Covid and inflation really teach me a lesson thank God

TcadisJuly 26 2022, 06:27 Trying to only spend on what I really need

Member1031777593008July 26 2022, 02:56 Oh my I have stopped spending a lot because I been out of work since covid and trapped in my home due i'm allergic to the vaccine and to scared to go anywhere so over 2yrs top cash buying online which alot of stores do not have free shipping.I raise grandson 6yrs and have not got one cent of help but when I worked I spent $500 mth food to now $250 mth Walmart and his school clothes is something idkn what to do because I get no income but living off my savings still that is about to run out.Covid has messed my life my spending my free time,me and axels fun time all up..I can not buy much but buying from the dollar tree that is now $1.26 per item is way cheaper than any other store besides paying out the butt for shipping.

Icthus1997July 25 2022, 14:45 Have you been keeping tabs on your finances?
Not as well as I should be.

Have you changed your budget and saving habits due to inflation?
We are always intentional about looking for the best deals when shopping for food and clothing. Inflation has made us even more attentive to our spending.

When you shop, do you buy generic brands to save money?
Yes, we do.

Have you ever driven further to find a cheaper gas station?
Only a few blocks. However, if we are already in a nearby town that has cheaper gas, we fill up before coming home.

MariaDollarJuly 25 2022, 09:13 I am trying to save every penny I can!

JJaroniJuly 25 2022, 08:27 I am trying to budget more often now with prices of everything (except gas) going up

Member1122650765006July 24 2022, 19:16 Nice to use top cash

kyungho parkJuly 24 2022, 19:15 Yes everything getting high except wage
So try to save money

adyn5113July 24 2022, 16:25 Yes…Not buying clothes and shoes that I do not need. Only buying what I have to have right now. Trying to get more things listed on eBay to make extra money as well. Every little bit helps.

ChrisL57July 24 2022, 15:07 I will buy generic brands

eviewJuly 24 2022, 13:18 Yes, tremendously. I watch every penny I spend. Only shop for deals on phone, not buying anything I dont need. With gas prices so high, I only drive where I need to go and try to stay in the same area.

michelle_bittlesJuly 23 2022, 18:39 I have been trying to buy less groceries and less going out. I try and budget weekly, but with inflation, it’S been really hard to stay on track.

monicareneJuly 23 2022, 10:37 Because of inflation, I used to buy daily necessities one by one, but now I buy a car when I see a promotion. In the past, I refueled at ant gas station, now, go to Costco for refueling. The problem is costco isn't close to my house

SouthernBerserkerJuly 23 2022, 10:28 I always keep tabs on my finances no matter what.
I keep a pretty tight budget and don't buy things unless I really need them or its at such a price that I feel like I won't get it at a deal that good again. I always search for discounts and use cash back apps all the time.
I typically always by brand name items unless its really good paper towels, toilet paper, or bottled water.
I stop at the closest place to me when I need gas because the price difference is not going to be that much when it comes right down to it.

amynh95July 22 2022, 22:01 It boils down to what I need or want and determined if I can afford either one. The wants will have to be put aside for the next couple of years.

Member212889065624July 22 2022, 20:56 I buy some generic at times for certain items but other items I don’T I use Gas Buddy to find cheaper gas and I also check ads and drive to several close by stores to get cheaper deals on groceries.

PaulTWJuly 22 2022, 20:17 Pushing clothes and shoes to last longer before replacing.

achinmanocha10July 22 2022, 20:03 I love Topecashback because I earned hundreds of dollars from this.

Member533655968351July 22 2022, 18:38 I cut back on eating at restaurants, use fetch rewards, and use coupons

Member1223528075144July 22 2022, 17:30 I use fetch for rewards to get gift cards. I also try and budget better when shopping looking for the sales and making a list and going off of only it. For gas yes absolutely we have drove further for cheaper gas. I also like to play the circle k instant win games because I can get 25cents off a gallon or 15 cents off a gallon. Those prizes arent guaranteed. But those were the ones I mostly won. Times are hard and I try and get a deal anywhere I can!

IsilmaJaimeJuly 22 2022, 17:24 We stopped eating out so much & Yeah we been buying generic for some things there is no difference in quality . & Yes we use this app called upside where you click a gas station that will give you money back for going there. Since gas so expensive right now we get money back & It adds up fast honestly. Use our referral code JEYSON8434 I think you get something if you’Re referred when you join. But yeah that’S it

Bandinni32July 22 2022, 16:46 Yes I have been using topcash for coupons and cash back. When I go to store I try to take coupons and find best deals. Gas don't really have a choice expensive everywhere. When we go to eat out I use kids eat free days or deal of day.

Member634019636156July 22 2022, 16:45 Yes I do buy generic at times for certain items but other items I don’T I also do drive further just to get cheaper gas and I also drive further to get cheaper deals on groceries if they have them as well as using coupons

DpsomosJuly 22 2022, 16:09 Yes I buy everything generic and sometimes have to go without stuff its really awful nowadays how do they expect people to buy things at these prices

shelster25July 22 2022, 16:00 I use TopCashback to help offset the high cost of items

twinklingsJuly 22 2022, 16:00 Yes, I changed my budget or saving habits due to inflation. Yes, I buy generic brands to save money, but not exclusively. I sometimes drive further to find a cheaper gas station.

gininberlinJuly 22 2022, 15:57 No, I haven't changed my budget or saving habits due to inflation. When you shop, generic brands to save money, but not exclusively? I have occasionally driven further to find a cheaper gas station.

Member218156114618July 22 2022, 15:33 Yes I keep went to store to match food price .No I dont drive to find cheap gas price that my state almost all is same unless you drive three hours to get cheap gas but not worth to do it.

hsunshineJuly 22 2022, 15:22 When shopping at the groceries, we tend to buy the generic brand more than usual. We also shop on deals using dealsea and slick deals. We buy when it’S on sale versus when we need it but will need it soon.

NbmdJuly 22 2022, 15:15 I have started using generics and look for cheaper groceries,but given that gas is expensive too it’S hard

Member634070034616July 22 2022, 15:03 Easy and fast Deal
