2 things I have been doing....
I bought a treadmill, an exercise bike, a yoga mat and a set of small dumbells... cost me the same as 1 year gym membership! Now I exercise at home and don't have to drive anywhere. No more excuses.
I live in a very small, walkable small town. I made a rule that from now on, I walk to the grocery store. This way I save gas, and buy less because I don't buy more than I can carry! I only drive once a month, when I am buying the heavy bags of dog and cat food and litter.
I am getting in better shape than I was, and I am down to only buying gas for the car once a month.

Baby boomer here: I have all kinds of very fine Irish linens that nobody wants and will outlast me. I cut them into kitchen and cleaning cloths as needed. I use paper towels only for filthy messes I’m not willing to do anything with except throw in the garbage.
It’s a pleasure to use these sturdy, elegant fabrics and that remind me of my family, of life and times gone by as go about the ordinary tasks we all do ❤️

I bought the Walmart delivery program for $45/year. I get grocery/household item delivery every week which is very helpful. I don't buy everything there but I get heavy and bulky items so I don't have to carry them. It saves me effort and money because I rarely go to Walmart anymore. I used to wander at least once a month and waste money on things I don't need. I buy fruit and the sale items I want from other stores after I look at the sale flyer on Wednesday. I'm 64 and am really glad I don't have to lug everything by myself anymore.

I air dry my clothrs all Summer. Also, I keep a toilet paper roll in my kitchen cabinet. If I want to clean a small spill on counter, instead of using a whole paper towel, i use one sheet from the toilet paper roll.

My dryer broke over a year ago. I use 3 large dry racks and outside clothes line when good weather 😊😊.

I don't think this is variable but it comes to mind. To save on garbage bags, I save cereal bags to throw stinky garbage away. There's nothing that irritates me more than having a clean bag then throwing something stinky in there like shrimp shells. So I either take it right outside or use one of my saved wax bags, wrap it up, and even put a bit of tape to close it up well. This way, I don't need to throw the bigger bag out with only a little bit in there.

My father stopped smoking with my twin brother and I were two years old because he said he wanted to see us grown. He also figured out he was spending enough money in a year to buy a used car every year

I buy a large pack of white cotton washcloths and use them for bathing, dishcloths and as napkins. I bleach them when mecessary and they last for a year or two before needing to be replaced. I also wash my clothes in a five gallon bucket in the tub and hang them from the shower curtain to dry. I have been doing this for over seven years when a rude neighbor complained about cat hair in the washers in my apartment laundry. Even though others had pets in my building, she blamed me. Now she can blame someone else since i dont use the laundry room. I get my walmart and amazon memberships at half price because of my income and get everything delivered. I am 75 and no longer drive so this is a godsend for me.

When a t shirt is stained beyond repair, I cut it up for rags- no need to purchase cloths from the shop.

I grew up without a dryer. I hate, hate, hate hanging clothes. The dryer is a splurge for me!

Living in the mountains of Central Europe has its charm, but it comes with some challenges too. Since moving into our new house, we've relied on a dryer for convenience and because we can't dry clothes outside. One of our neighbors uses portable drying racks and often dries clothes inside, even in the summer. Sometimes they take them outside, but it’s a rare sight. While we know using a dryer might shorten the lifespan of our clothes, it makes life so much easier for my husband and me. We save money in other ways, like using our solar panels to power the dryer and other chores during the day. The solar panels have been a game-changer, especially in the summer!

Your number 1 suggestion about TP could apply to many items we use daily or weekly such as laundry soap, dish washing detergent, shampoo, paper towels, etc.

When I buy something online, I leave it in the cart for at least a few days. Often I find that I don't want to buy most of the things after all.

[FriedaMoscoso-ssjj]

I was born and raised in the Philippines and growing up I hand-washed my own clothes and line dry it. Living here in America for more than half my life now and not having to do the old ways serves me convenience and I’m grateful for that but I would still do the old ways every now and then.❤

[grannyprepper]

I never waste money 😂😂, I live a perfect life on social security…if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you! 😂. I’ve been frugal for as long as I remember, got it from my parents. But I buy things or spend money on something and wonder why I did it. Don’t beat yourself up, just try and remember not to do it again.

[homediva]

I'm in the Philippines and we have dryers here but we only use them during the rainy season---it's mostly sunny here so our clothes are usually sun-dried ;)

[terezanovakova]

Hi Jen, no dryers for me, nothing can beat the smell of laundry drying on a fresh dryers are not so common in of love!❤

[zorrie-mareecernusco]

Thankyou for these great pointers.
Im 65 and am Australian. Grew up on a Sugar Cane Farm that was an extended family business so my mum was given a small wage to make good all household expenses.
She was a genious at making money go further. And even though she was well off financially, she continued some of these habits into her senior years till she passed away.
I learnt much from both her and my Mother-in-law as to how to be efficient in the home and in life.
I have a dryer but only use it in very bad weather. I love to hang my clothes and linen in the sun as it kills germs as well.
Lived most my life without an aircon and I live in the Tropics and it does get hot. We recently put one into our bedroom only. We have fans and an airy styled home.
I make my own cleaner which I use almost everywhere. I use a stronger one occasionally for some spring cleaning jobs.
MY CLEANER:
I mix 1 part Vinigar and 1 part kitchen detergent. I put some into a spray bottle and add essential oils pertaining to what Im cleaning.
I love cooking so I freeze extra stuff and make all kinds of dishes from leftovers. I Keep veggie trimmings in a zip lock bag in the freezer to add when making chicken or beef stocks. I freeze the stock for future suops and meals.

[jessicawelch]

I love the tip about using one cleaning product for everything. I do this and use vinegar/ baking soda mixture, and who knew that soap and water on mirrors works better for me than Windex!

Pre-cooked "convenience foods" like casseroles & other healthy options have been a game changer for people like my self who have chronic pain or other debilitating and exhausting medical conditions.
Since buying these healthy pre-cooked meals; I have stopped buying take away. I'm getting healthier ingredient & free up some energy for other essential tasks.
Yes I understand it's a waste of money for healthy people!
Different strokes for different folks!
