50 Frugal People Share Everyday Life Advice

Publish Not your original work? Add source Being economic with your money and resources isn't something that you should be ashamed of. Quite the opposite! Throwing wastefulness in the bin and embracing frugality, thriftiness, and creativity are the way to go-especially if we want our wallets and our environment to reap the rewards. The r/Frugal subreddit, a community housing nearly 1.9 million savings-minded members, encourages people to take a different approach to spending. Using our heads more instead of opening our wallets wider, lies at the core of their philosophy. We've collected some of the best life hacks that will help you budget better and help protect our lovely Planet Earth at the same time. Waste not, want not, so let's get scrolling. Upvote the hacks that you found to be the most useful and if you're feeling generous, share some of your own frugal-living tips, dear Pandas. This post may include affiliate links. #1

View more comments The 'Frugal' online community lives by the motto, "Waste Less-Gain More!" And they're absolutely right: there's lots to gain from living less wasteful, more flexible lives. "Frugality is the mental approach we each take when considering our resource allocations. It includes time, money, convenience, and many other factors," the subreddit mods describe what their community is all about. Active since March of 2008, r/Frugal has since then entrenched itself in Reddit and formed a very sizeable niche for anyone and everyone who wants to embrace a more economic, less wasteful way of living life in the 21st century. #4

View more comments In an interview for a previous Bored Panda article, I had a chat about saving on food costs if you're a fast-food lover with Jake Butler from 'Save the Student,' a UK-based organization that advises students on how to make their money go further. According to Jake, we have to talk about the obvious-you can save the most money on fast-food and takeaways by learning to say 'no' to tasty treats and cooking solely at home. However, not all hope is lost, dear Pandas! You can make a lot of your fave fast-food meals at home. The best parts are that it's way cheaper and that you have complete control over the nutritional value. #7

Buying in bulk is always a winner too when it comes to saving money so it's a great idea to get together with friends and maybe take it in turns to make your favorite fakeaways," Jake said. According to him, the essence of creating takeaways at home lies in the seasoning! "Salt and pepper won't break the bank, but they can make or break a meal. Don't forget that sugar can take a dish to the next level too." #13

Wedding For Under $3k USD Dress For $15 USD This Was Right For Us

Here's our cost breakdown. Only the daughters needed shoes. I did my own makeup, but purchased a few high quality items. Our marriage license cost includes the cost to have a mailed copy of the marriage certificate. Ring cost does not include the engagement ring. Thanks to Covid, we stayed well under budget. Full disclosure: we're having a destination wedding (vow renewal) in Oct 2021 with just immediate family, where we're paying for accommodations for all 25 people. I'd be happy with just our Covid wedding, but we are fortunate enough to be able to do both.
Venue (Park):$0.00- Justice of the Peace:$130.00- Marriage License:$70.00- Photographer:$200.00- Floral:$34.00- Attire: $258.53 (Bride $15.00, Groom $52.64, Son $52.64, Daughters (2) $138.25)- Makeup:$70.00- Rings:$1,986.88
Total $2,749.41
