One of the biggest difficults in life is to manage growing your patrimony and income, when earning minimum wage and living in poor areas where opportunities are scarce, as is the money circulating in the local economy. Some hints that could be useful:

Choose carefully where you go shopping: some supermarkets are more expensive than others. Shopping on physical stores is more expensive than shopping online. Don't go for the first price you see on the labels. Search for promotions, try to adequate your demand for products to your currently financial budget in a way you don't spend all your money in the end of the month.

Some supermarkets are selling overpriced commodities. You spend more on the same item one could get for less at a corner shop or a thrift shop.
If you earn low, there is no need to act rich by going to the malls, or having expensive launch and dinner dated or breaking the bank to designers whatever to impress people who do not like you.

Use your tongue to count your teeth is a famous saying.

People are now doing organic garden - and this is helping them save few bucks.
There are so many things we can do to save some funds. and this is the good practice too. I would try not to go to market for window shopping. I am not going for the minimal approach
