There is very little in this world that one needs to acquire 'new' - food, medicine, lenses for glasses / contacts, certain personal hygiene products (feminine products, toilet paper), but the rest - thrift stores, eBay, Poshmark, Craigslist, Fakebook marketplace, etc., etc., etc. And for whoever asked - frugality is a way of life and not dependent on one's net worth. I grew up in an upper-middle class household like this and it stuck. Made living in 3rd world countries a whole lot easier to tolerate. Keep up getting the word out @Frugal Fit Mom!!

Ok, I have to comment on the 'ice staying cold longer'... To start, I totally agree in not following the trends and I do not own a Stanley...BUT, I do own multiple vacuum insulated cups because we live in Arizona. In the summer time, you have to have them if you do not want to drink warm/hot water. It is just a fact. Also, you do not have to deal with all the condensation that comes with the plastic cups. It is just a way of life out here. 😁

@UniqueSilverBerry 3 ай бұрын

Also plastic isn't good for us and you definitely don't want the plastic getting warm and leaching toxins into your drink. But 1 stainless steel water bottle or tumbler and it will last for YEARS. I have one that is 1 liter and is 6 years old and still going strong.

We are a family of three and I caught us spending about $220 sometimes $230 a week on groceries. I quickly put a stop to this and we are only buying exactly what I need to make meals during the week and stocking up with $10 a week on shelf stable Foods. For the past month and a half our weekly bill has been around $120 a week. I have very many dietary needs I am gluten-free, can't eat a lot of foods because I'm diabetic so I do need some specialty products. But now none of our food is going in the garbage I buy exactly how many peppers I need and if we don't use them I freeze them for meals like sausage and peppers and onions. It's been a great experience and I've learned this from people like you and other frugal people on KZfaq the only thing we buy in bulk is maple syrup because that's our main sweetener toilet paper and paper towels. I know I said paper towels but I'm also legally blind so I spill a lot of things LOL

I used to think exactly like you in that I thought the Dawn Power spray was a way to sell air !! However, I did try it once and OMG it works SO well!!! It actually saves $ because you can spray only certain areas and you don’t use a “glob” of soap. Also, you can make your own (using the empty spray bottle) by mixing rubbing alcohol, water and liquid Dawn. I use my credit cards for almost all my purchases and then pay off the entire balance each month. This allows me to accrue cash-back from the cards. (Beating them at their own game). I do agree with all your other points!!

My "trick" for the library is to check the major city in your state for library card requirements. My city library requires you just to live in the state, not the county. You just can't even compare my suburban library to the main city library. I am talking Sarah J Maas holds going from several months to a handful of weeks based on the library's copies of the book. It is making it so much easier not to BUY any books!

I was an optician for 5 years. Buying online is probably okay for kids or a simple single vision prescription. Other than that, I would not buy online. There are multiple measurements you need for bifocal or no line bifocal. I absolutely recommend an anti-reflective coating for everyone. The quality is going to be better from the clinic. That's another one of those things you can research before you buy.

When I first watched Seinfeld in the early 2000's, I couldn't get into it because I thought there's no way there are people that crazy, that sensitive to offense, that angry, and that terrible to other people all the time. I couldn't relate to it, having been raised in small town Oklahoma where everyone is so nice. But then I moved to NYC for a couple of years, and learned that Seinfeld is a downright documentary of human life in NYC. It's nuts out there. A couple of times locals told me, "I can tell you're not from here. You're too sweet." Now I fully enjoy the show like I couldn't before.

And I hate to admit it, but I hate it when those same crazy drivers come to Florida for the summer and I was born in NJ😁but raised in Florida. I couldn’t believe how regularly rude people are in NY.

My favorite TV show to watch over and over is old ones- Brady Bunch and Gilligan's Island. I LOVE those 2 shows!! You want to know my favorite Seinfeld show?! The one where they are lost in the parking garage and can't find their car and Elaine has a fish in a bag that she just bought and she is afraid that it is going to die. Kramer has to go to the bathroom so darn bad and can't wait!! He is complaining the whole time!! Jerry just can't find the car and then when most of the cars are gone from the parking garage, he finally finds the car, hours later!! I crack up at how they are all complaining and can't find the car!!

MASH and Friends. When I was in Grad school the only thing I allowed myself to watch on TV was the 30 min of MASH on Tuesday night @ 8pm. [Cherished time; I still remember.] Am currently going thru my DVD set of all the MASH episodes again. Also, Hubby and I watched Friends reruns horizontally at 10:30pm every night after the late night news for several years. Hubs still sings stinky cat song. Love reruns.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game." OMG, truer words haven't been spoken. Using credit to your advantage can be a huge help with a budget. You just have to know how to do it. Again, there should be required courses in high school that teach budgeting and money management. I never heard the term churning before with credit cards, but totally guilty here!! I'm flying for $11 to visit a friend in October thanks to knowing HOW to play the game.

Mrs Meyers is ridiculously overpriced. You can use almost anything to clean. I'm a cleaning lady and I like just some dawn dishwashing liquid (power wash is also amazing but pricey) and a magic eraser. Also not all DT products kill germs so be sure to read the labels

We’ve owed two ford SUV’s and had them both at least 10 years. The one I have now is a 2013 and still going strong. Both where used. ❤ my son bought a 2003 or 4 for his first car and it’s doing great and he’s had it since 2016. He’s had to replace a couple of parts,but worth it and him and his dad can work on it. These newer cars you have to have a degree to work on.😅

@lorifenn695 3 ай бұрын

my father is a mechanic and said the older model vehicles you could fix a part in minutes and the newer ones take all day to replace the same part cause you have to take apart the whole car just to replace.

I watch quite a few British or Canadian TV shows. Most of them you can probably get at the library. The first one is from Canada based on a series of books. The title of the show is Murdoch Mysteries. It is on like season 14 or 15 so that should keep you busy for awhile. It is fairly family friendly. It is about a detective in Toronto in the early 1900's. They have a lot of funny modern references. Another British show is called Miss Scarlet and the Duke. It takes place in the 1800/1900's. The Duke is a police officer and Miss Scarlet is a private detective when there were no female private detectives. There are 4 seasons of that show. I recently re-watched Babylon 5 which is a 5 season sci-fi show that I really enjoyed. I watched it free on Tubi.
