× I I am the one who budgeting the money in the house so I always make it a point that I buy.

✓ I am the one who is budgeting the money in the house so I always make it a point that I buy.

The verb 'budgeting' needs the auxiliary verb 'is' to form the present continuous tense correctly. Without 'is', the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Use 'is budgeting' to indicate the ongoing action.

× Stuff that is within our budget, although when I was.

✓ Stuff that is within our budget, although when I was.

This sentence is incomplete and unclear, but 'stuff' is an uncountable noun and correctly used with 'is'. No plural correction needed here. However, the sentence is incomplete and should be completed for clarity.

× I always choose affordable stuff. That is within our budget.

✓ I always choose affordable stuff that is within our budget.

The period between the two clauses creates a sentence fragment. Combining them with a relative pronoun 'that' improves sentence structure and clarity.

× Of course I have things that I wanted to buy, but it's just not within our budget.

✓ Of course I have things that I want to buy, but they're just not within our budget.

The verb tense should be present 'want' to match the current desire. Also, 'things' is plural, so the pronoun should be 'they' and 'are' contracted as 'they're'.

× So it that's why it's very difficult for me to choose.

✓ So that's why it's very difficult for me to choose.

The phrase 'it that's' is redundant and incorrect. Removing 'it' corrects the sentence structure.

× Sometimes you're just paying for the brand name.

✓ Sometimes you are just paying for the brand name.

Contraction 'you're' is acceptable in spoken English, but for clarity and formality, 'you are' is preferred. However, this is not a strict error.

× Actually, there are a lot of affordable items that is or that has the.

✓ Actually, there are a lot of affordable items that are or that have the.

'Items' is plural, so the verb should be 'are' or 'have' to agree in number. The sentence is incomplete and should be finished for clarity.
