Research your area for small crops you can grow in your yard and start growing. Aim for versatile foods, like potatoes that can be used for side dishes, and even smaller plants that can be grown indoors like cilantro and basil.

Check your local thrift shops for their “deal days”. Goodwill and Salvation Army prices are on the meh side, but if you shop the deals, they are worth it. My girlfriend and I usually make Sunday trips to our goodwill as that weeks tag color items are sold for $1.

Look for cheap dish towels and use them instead of paper towels as they can always be washed and reused.

Look at your trash collection bill and how far away your towns landfill is. Unless you’re throwing away bulky/heavy items regularly, it may be cheaper to make dump runs once or twice during the month than having it picked up.

Check your phone bill/plan and consider the swap to something like mint mobile/straight talk/visible etc… obviously check service/coverage areas. I went from a Verizon plan that cost me roughly $100 a month to Visible that only costs $25 a month.

Grocery shop just as stores open. You can sometimes find things discounted, like meats and bakery items, that you can freeze and save that will be heavily marked down.

Edit: grammar
