I slightly disagree (I wouldn't use a ratty couch from anyone - even if it's free). To me being frugal doesn't mean you're cheap - it means that I don't spend money on things that don't matter to me so that I can spend money on the things that do.

I just went to the thrift store sale and bought 20 pieces of clothes for 40 dollars. They were on sale for 2 dollars each. I completely updated my wardrobe for 40 dollars. It be honest, I lost 45 pounds and it was a treat to myself to buy new clothes without the new price.

I think it's important to remember that just because one frugal family does something, it doesn't mean that it's going to work for you. Everyone's situations, hobbies, and life are going to be a little bit different so don't feel like you have to only use the library if your passion is collecting certain books/series. Or maybe you like splurging on concerts now and again. That's totally fine. And maybe you're saving money somewhere else.

Great list! Let me tell you as an early 40s female I am watching my friends spend crazy $ on lashes, Botox, hair dye... all to fight the inevitable. I have earned my wrinkles and my gray and I’d rather go travel then be stuck in denial.

I live in the northeast and in the winter they salt the roads which does a lot of damage to cars, especially the undercarriage which is pretty hard to clean yourself. Paying for a car wash with the underneath washed is actually an investment on your vehicle if you plan on keeping it long term.

[mamabear]

I love your husband saying car washes... yes I would prefer to wash my own car but I have a son who has autism and his favorite thing to do Is go thru the car wash. So yes I pay the monthly pass but my car is always clean and my son is happy... so worth the $25.00

I think being a minimalist is better than being frugal! Living for experiences instead of clutter. Instead of buying 5 pairs of cheap shoes, buy 1 pair of high-quality shoes.

My oldest daughter has told her inlaws so many times about me going garage saleing for clothes that this year when they cleaned out their closet they sent me 3 contractor bags full of expensive clothes. Needless to say i got a new wardrobe and i sent 2 of those bags full of clothes to other people i know 😂

Full-priced cards or gift wrap/bags. The Dollar Tree is the place to go for cards, bags and some wrapping paper. Holiday wrapping paper is only purchased on steep discount after the holidays and bonus if you can find ones that pass for other occasions too at that time.

The mom in law of a friend of mine died. She was a lady who always dressed well and spent money on good quality clothes. She also took really good care of her clothes. Turns out I am her size ( my friend us not) So she gave me all if these awesome clothes! This was about 4-5 years ago and all the clothes still look great!!!

My mother got a zero interest car loan about 2 years ago. She said it was the only reason she financed it. And honestly, it does make more sense than pulling her money out of an interest bearing account, especially since she gets retirement income.

I laughed out loud at the tech part about the cell phone. I feel ripped off if I don't get at least 3 years out of a phone and I HATE updating! Great video, I totally related to most of this. No wonder my husband calls me the "cheapest woman in America".

[Mrs.Silversmith]

I hate when new clothes shrink in the dryer and then don't fit like they did when trying them on at the store. This is one of the reasons I LOVE to buy used jeans. I know they have already gone through some laundry loads and I don't have to worry about whether they will shrink later. What you see in the fitting room of the thrift store is what you get.

I work out at home weights and crunches. Walk every day, get fresh air, and see people

[sharonwilson]

My Father always said if you can’t pay cash for something then you don’t need it or shouldn’t buy it until you can pay cash. My husband or myself haven’t ever had a car payment. We have always waited until we had the cash to buy our vehicles. My sons have done the same thing.

[Gracie.Gardener]

My fiancé’s health insurance pays for our gym membership and gives him $25 a month to buy vitamins and OTC medications. It definitely helps out and makes my frugal heart happy

I've been hunting for a new watch for about three years now.
Just recently, I was cleaning out a storage bin and found one of my older watches. There were so many good memories that went with that watch I decided to just pay for a battery replacement; way cheaper than buying a NEW watch all together.
Hope you and your family are having a great day!
Keep up the great work!

Eating at home is a HUGE way to save money. I teach families how to save money on groceries by making their produce last and I would love to do a collab with you to share my best tips with your audience. If you have someone who could reach out to me I'd love to chat more about it!

[thefrugalmomma]

Frugal people often grow their own produce, you don't need a big garden space, you can even grow in pots on a balcony, once established it's money saved year after year, grow, use, freeze, preserve and it's also a free hobby. You can grown certain veggies from scraps and you can save seeds from even store bought produce. The joy it brings is great for your mental health also 🥕🧄🍅🌰🫑 I even have a few video's!

We also don’t buy gift bags or tissue paper, we reuse the ones we’re gifted.
