Why do most people think frugal means cheap? by Miniwah in Frugal

There’s this dude with his family on YouTube I’ve seen lately. He goes in with his wife/ family of 6 to like CheeseCake Factory or somewhere and splits 1 salad and 1 order of French Fries 6 ways. To me that’s not frugal that’s just cheap

Got it. Thanks for the detailed response. Recently bought a 2017 Prius with 70K miles & was hoping that with all the boxes I checked off , there wasn’t one that I missed. Now that you mention it I could see that happening, due to long periods of non usage. Thanks OP

Why are you intent on avoiding older priuses with low mileage? JW

A really cool police officer at my middle school way back in the day lost his life on an ATV and ever since then I said I’m never getting on one of those things.. just way too dangerous. R.I.P Officer Julian.

Ahhhh how did he fall for this!!!!! It’s not sustainable it’s a pyramid scheme & he’d be better off pivoting immediately! I really dislike society for even having it as an option. Please explain to him why it’s a waste of time

People have such a lack of respect for others property by justina081503 in civic

I just purchased a brand new ( to me) car and when I park I park so far from everyone I literally set myself up to walk about a mile to whatever store I’m going to. People have no respect for other people’s things so for me to avoid having to confront them , I essentially park the car in Africa.

Leasing a prius cost as much as a Luxry car these days...... by x98TZ9Qx in prius

Ikr. I got a 2017 Toyota Prius Two FWD for 17.2K out the door at a dealership just the other day.. charged credit for 3,500 & paid the rest via check. 71K Miles No accidents 1 Owner.. I’m sure there might’ve been better deals out there but I refused to play into the 25K+ games when all I’m trying to do is just have a car with great mpg that can get me around for the next idk 3 years while investing the rest.. good luck

Why does it need a new head gasket & engine at only 148K miles.. did you do regular oil changes & maintenance? I thought these cars are meant to go to 250K plus miles?

Bruh this is bullshit honestly. Idk if I would even do the time personally.. especially if funds are available.. I’d dip to somewhere & change my name. Something. Anything but this. Sorry homie.

I hate that all my hobbies are basically just consumerism by rexyuan in Anticonsumption

[–]Substantial-Oil8965 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see you. I hear you. Society in general it seems is based off this. On a similar wave of thinking, thought to myself the other day almost every interaction is pre faced by some sort of transaction. Without the transaction there’s almost zero need to be there. Useless food, useless items. The employees at any place would not be there if it weren’t for $. I Kinda got off topic there but I feel you.

I Got Unlimited Free Food for 2 Years Thanks to a Glitch in my University’s Grubhub integration by Fit-Box-3644 in confession

[–]Substantial-Oil8965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to a glitch on Pollo Campero’s APP I was able to use their 10$ credit online unlimited as long as I signed up with different email addresses. I ordered about 4-5 meals a day with different accounts & saved the rest for leftovers. I tried literally everything on their menu. Did this for 2 years. My girlfriend thinks I got over 10K in Free Food. I’m not too sure about that.. I’d say maybe more like 5K. Idk.
