Green Cells: How Getting Your Budget in the Green Could Also Decrease Your Carbon Emissions22/1/2025
You’ve tumbled down every path possible to reduce your spending, short of moving back in with your mother. You skateboard to work. You brush your teeth in the dark. Netflix has been replaced by DVDs from your grandfather's collection, and your third night of Top Gun is starting to get to you. What if I told you there was a better way? That you could save up to 16% on your food costs a year and avoid sleeping on your mother’s pull-out couch—all in one fell swoop? A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Economics has proposed that adopting a vegan diet can lower your grocery bill. Despite consuming more plant-based foods such as fruit, vegetables, and grains, the study found that those who adopted a vegan diet raked in large savings by forgoing red meat and dairy products.
A fortuitous consequence of this is decreasing your environmental footprint with the lowest emission diet out there! A great option for people looking to both reduce their grocery bills and their carbon emissions. While we understand that most people aren’t keen to change their diet to reduce their grocery bills, it presents an interesting perspective on creative ways to limit spending. A perspective that is sometimes hard to see when it’s your own budget you're shuffling around. Establishing a budget is one of the best ways to track, limit, and analyse your spending. Jessie is currently taking on new clients who are looking for ways to reduce their spending and expenses. In your appointment, Jessie will go over your budget in our specialised spreadsheet, which splits your finances into categories. Our template can easily be switched to weekly, fortnightly, or monthly frequencies to match your lifestyle. Jessie will be able to offer a unique perspective on your budget and suggest methods to reduce spending and save for your big goals like buying a house or paying off debts. If you’re interested in talking to Jessie about budgeting, or any of her other specialties, please book here or give our office a call on 07 4766 9688.
