Every time you get some good feedback, print it out and keep it in a folder. Do the same for any projects or special assignments you complete. When you meet with your boss, pull out the folder and share all your good accomplishments that prove you're worth a raise.

Also applicable to shoes/clothing. If you find a great sale on an expensive brand and item you know you’ll always wear and is a pretty timeless style, double down if you can.
For example, I always wear Red Wing boots. They’re expensive but generally worth it in my opinion; they will always be useful to have, last a long time, and the basic styles won’t expire. There was a shoe store going out of business and was selling them for more than half off. I bought two pairs and rotate them each year. Now I have boots that will last me for more than a decade and only essentially paid for less than one pair. This holds true for other items like quality jeans, sport coats, etc.

I started doing this with all my nonperishables after the first pandemic shortages. It's made it a lot easier to deal with shortages or lack of funds.

I've even done this with sports bras because I was afraid they'd stop producing them by the time the ones I use daily are worn out. Lmaoo

Don’t be shy. You won’t get sacked for asking for more than they’re prepared to pay.

I'd recommend trying Better Than Bouillon, much longer shelf life and you'll always have broth on demand.

I triple/quadruple down on nonperishable stuff that I use all the time that are on sale.
No point in stocking up unless it’s on sale, imo, since I have a smallish living space.

I was just telling my bf we need to do this with chicken broth because when I need some, we don’t have any plus the shelf life is long

Toothpaste subscriptions? Why I cam buy a high flouride toothpaste for $2 just buy five of those and then buy another five when on the last one.
Grocery subscriptions are a rip off.

Stocking up on items you use regularly when they’re on sale is a better LPT. That way you’re not running out of products you use regularly AND you’re saving money.
