“Unlock the Secrets of Thrift: 66 Frugal Habits That Will Transform Your Savings!”
I work at a school, and any leftover school lunches in our class never go to waste. I have like 15 pizza pockets in my freezer right now, all free! 😂.
I’m an avid reader, I use the public library not only for books, but online classes, learn a new language, Libby, check out tools, & fun activities for the grandkids.
I work construction. We often throw out a disgusting amount of cut offs and leftover lumber. Between that and landscaping cast-off that I stumble across, I have not had to buy firewood for many years (I also have a natural gas furnace but usage is reduced to less than 1/4).
I bring home half used soap bars from hotels that I already opened. Mostly for the environment but most people won’t bother.
Save all of your vegetable scraps, peelings, tops and bottoms of veggies etc and place them in a bag in the freezer. When the bag is full, place all these peelings in a pot, cover with water, add salt and pepper, a bay leaf etc and simmer for an hour or so. Let it cool completely then strain. Now you have homemade vegetable stock.
Bidet and washable cotton mini towels to pad dry. I haven’t bought TP since the great shortage of 2020.
Fill empty/dead space of my fridge with water gallons or bottles.
Water holds as a thermal mass better than air. You don’t want to overfill and make it hard for air to circulate, but filling voids with liquids is far more efficient for the fridge.
