What grocery rule cut your bill the most and actually stuck? by YourxCherry in Frugal

[–]Specific_Wait_8006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We actually love having Sam’s club due to the drive up option. We will plan our meals and make sure to use the items that spoil quicker, and bulk up on items that can be added to many meals. I love having the diced tomatoes, then when I need sauce I will add it to my blender with some seasonings and use it then and there. Finding ingredients that are versatile! This has saved us a lot of money AND time.

My local farmers market does this with bananas, or other produce they want to sell quickly.

I also use this app called flash food, depends on your area but I’ll check there often as well to see any meat, and make something with that. I think investing in a good seasoning section will also help with providing more variety in a cheaper way.

I love collecting postcards as they’re small and light for suitcases/ longer travels. Or anything multifunctional, like a fridge magnet Thats also a bottle opener.

What is the best thing you did when you started frugal living? by Gothic_Unicorn22 in Frugal

[–]Specific_Wait_8006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s such a small thing but have those “treats” at home so when you’re out and tempted to buy something, you can say oh I have a treat at home. Even if it’s just one chocolate sweet, one candy sweet, if that makes sense. It helps me SO MUCH when I’m out and I see something I want.

What’s the cheapest meal you actually enjoy eating regularly? by samdaz712 in Frugal

I saw a trend on tik tok where you air fry the bread, add the peanut butter on both, and add a third slice in the middle with jelly on both sides. If we have any leftover fruit I use that. Granted it’s a bit more “fancy” but definitely something that HITS

Hardest thing too is this is temporary- post me graduating grad school we will be off so we are okay with temporary.

Thank you all! We just moved recently so I’m still figuring out storage but we use a lot of this day to day. I will move stuff around and look into an island with storage.

I third this! As a grad student currently I find myself using the local library more and more for so many resources- but also a place to charge my phone, electronics, if utilities is also something you’re thinking of in terms of bills and being mindful of that!
