At this point they've become kind of habits for us.

在這一點上，它們已經成為我們的一種習慣。

And even though there are a few things on this list that my husband shakes his head at, we stick to our list.

儘管清單上有幾件事情讓我丈夫搖頭，但我們還是堅持按照清單行事。

而且它們超級柔軟，不會造成浪費。

Number two, bottled water, soda and juice.

第二，瓶裝水、蘇打水和果汁。

We have a Brita water filter that we like just fine for water.

我們有一個 Brita 濾水器，我們喜歡用它來過濾水。

As well as the water in our area really does taste pretty good.

此外，我們這裡的水確實味道不錯。

We don't drink a lot of soda in our home.

We do actually still have some soda left over from last summer's anniversary party.

實際上，我們還有一些去年夏天週年派對上剩下的蘇打水。

But we haven't, it's been almost a year and we still haven't used it up.

但我們沒有，都快一年了，我們還沒用完。

I mean if it's here, my boys will drink it.

我的意思是，如果它在這裡，我的孩子們就會喝。

But if I don't buy it, they don't even ask for it.

Those meal kits that you get delivered to your house, everything is cold, they give you all of the ingredients to cook the meals.

I've tried them a couple of times and even though they're fun, I think that they're more expensive and more work.

A lot of steps, a lot of ingredients, and a lot of time.

很多步驟、很多配料、很多時間。

There's no way that they actually take less than 30 minutes to cook.

One time in my 50 years of being alive, in my 34 years of being able to drive, I've purchased a new car one time when I was in college.

在我活著的 50 年裡，在我能開車的 34 年裡，有一次我買了一輛新車，當時我還在上大學。

那是現代雅克（Hyundai Accel）剛上市的時候。

In the same lines, also going to casinos.

我寧願拿著這 100 美元去吃一頓豐盛的晚餐，或者買一摞書。

Now the reason that I just don't normally purchase these extended warranties is because my husband is extremely talented.

現在，我之所以通常不購買這些延保服務，是因為我丈夫非常有才華。

I am pretty sure the man can fix or repair anything.

我敢肯定，他能修復任何東西。

So for us to spend an extra percentage on an extended warranty on, say, the dryer or the washer or vehicles really just doesn't work for us.

是以，我們花額外的錢為烘乾機、洗衣機或車輛購買延長保修，對我們來說是行不通的。

Number seven, single serve pretty much anything.

第七，幾乎任何東西都可以單服。

This comes down to single serve soups, single serve snacks and single serve drinks.

這歸結為單份湯、單份點心和單份飲料。

It's expensive to purchase those single serves.

Now there have been times where we, for example, go on vacation or go camping and we need some snacks for the vehicle.

例如，有時我們去度假或露營，車上需要一些零食。

We may very well buy the single serves because they're just easier and they stay fresher longer.

我們很可能會買單份的，因為它們更方便，而且保鮮時間更長。

But on the daily, no single serve anything.

但在日常飲食中，沒有任何單份食物。

Now I'm talking about the kind of clothes that need special care.

現在我說的是那種需要特別護理的衣服。

And when something needs to be dry cleaned, that means I have to take it to the dry cleaner, drop it off, pay for it to get cleaned, then go back, pick it up and bring it home.

如果有東西需要乾洗，那就意味著我必須把它送到乾洗店，把它放下，付錢清洗，然後再回去取，帶回家。

And then you wear it another time and you have to do it all over again.

然後你再穿一次，又得重新來過。

Number nine, haircuts, spa days, mani pedis, hair coloring, all of those things that are many times considered self care.

第九，理髮、水療日、修指甲、染髮，所有這些很多時候都被認為是自我保健。

Those are things I just don't spend money on.

Now, maybe once a year I'll go get my haircut.

現在，也許一年我會去剪一次頭髮。

I'm actually considering cutting it short for the summer, but I'm not sure.

實際上，我正在考慮在夏天剪短它，但我還不確定。

Most of the time I just trim my own and I'm OK with it.

大多數情況下，我都是自己修剪，這樣也沒什麼問題。

And I know that sometimes it's just nice to treat yourself and I totally get that.

我知道，有時候犒勞一下自己是件好事，我完全理解。

But to go and spend $40, $60, $80 every month, every six weeks to get all of those things done just doesn't interest me.

但每個月、每六週花 40、60 或 80 美元去做這些事情，我並不感興趣。

There are other things that I'd rather spend my money on.

I would so much rather spend the money at a thrift shop getting higher quality clothes for lower prices than, say, go to Kohl's and buy brand new clothes.

比起去 Kohl's（科爾百貨）買全新的衣服，我更願意把錢花在舊貨店，用更低的價格買到品質更好的衣服。

There was a time when I was spending a lot of money on brand new clothes at Kohl's and JCPenney.

曾經有一段時間，我在 Kohl's 和 JCPenney 花了很多錢買全新的衣服。

But honestly, once I discovered the really amazing thrift stores near my mom, gone are those days.

但老實說，當我發現媽媽附近的舊貨店真的很不錯時，那些日子就一去不復返了。

Gone are the days where I'm going to spend my money on new clothes.

我花錢買新衣服的日子一去不復返了。

I can actually get more clothes at the thrift store for the same budgeted amount as I could buy new clothes.

實際上，在舊衣回收店裡，我可以用買新衣服的預算買到更多的衣服。

對我來說，這是一個更大的勝利。
