Aside from eating healthier, one of my goals is to add a considerable chunk of savings in my account. But I also want to be able to have quality stuff. So, I have this short list on things I don't skimp on: 1. I can skimp on clothing-does not matter to me if thy are brand name ones, as long as they fit me and I like them. But I don't skimp on winter outfit. I found out that I can have two jackets or coats for the whole winter months and be warm without bulky layers. 2. Food. We are spoiled. We want to eat healthy and sad to say organic and fresh foods are not cheap. We just can't say no to good food. 3. Shoes. I have a few pair but they are really good quality. I can walk and stand on them for hours without hurting feet or legs or even my back. 4. Car maintenance. If something doesn't feel or sound right, we make sure it's taken cared of asap. We need our vehicles to go to work everyday and that is something we annoy compromise on. I guess that's just about it for now. I still learning through trial and error on ways I can save without sacrificing the lifestyle that we want.
