Unbelievably Simple Frugal Hacks Smart People Swear By—And You’ve Never Heard Of Them Before!

For me, I never buy anything full price anymore. It may take a certain personality type to do this, but with a little preparation, and research, a deal or sale could always be found. This is especially true with online stores and the different apps, coupons, rebates, and etc you can easily find. I believe the only time I buy stuff full price is when I need the item in a hurry.

If you must buy something on Amazon, ALWAYS check the Amazon Warehouse deals. Usually, they willl sell the same item in a dented box for 2/3 (or less) of the original price. It says *used* but it has never even been opened. This has saved me a ton of money over the years.

Avoid buying new what you can buy used, like furniture, clothing, appliances, cars, houses, tools, etc. Reduce, reuse, recycle, re-purpose what you must buy. Take public transportation, car pool, walk, bicycle. Good luck!

Do no spend week. It’s an exercise in how much fun you can have without spending money. Use up the stuff in the freezer. Finish that craft project. Sort through the closet and purge.

Paying off your credit cards should be number one priority considering the interest rates. Meal plans seem to help people save. When I see something I want to buy I usually try to wait a month to see if I still want it then; usually I don’t. Saves me from a lot of unnecessary purchases.

Plant a vegetable garden with only high yield veggies like green beans, okra, squash, zucchini , etc. It is only necessary to purchase the seeds one time because you can harvest them from the veggies. You can then make your own baby food, eat fresh veggies with your meals, and partake in a highly stress relieving activity. It is a win/win
