Simple Money Saving Tips from Frugal People

Here are a few highlights that might actually help you save some money.

A reddit group called “Financial Independence” has a weekly thread where frugal people share tips and hacks for being more frugal. Here are a few highlights that might actually help you save some money.

This one is for the kitchen. Try cutting your sponges in half. They person that suggested it says once you’re used to it, a full sponge feels like overkill.

Also…never buy the newest tech. A three-year-old iphone is almost as good as a new one. Their rule is replace your tech, but always stay three years behind. There is usually not that many differences.

This one is for date nights. When you go out to eat as a couple, try splitting one meal. A lot of restaurant meals are too big anyway. Plus, if you need more food, you split an appetizer too.

Switch back to bar soap. It’s a lot cheaper than body wash and lasts longer. Some people think they feel cleaner compared to the foaming dispensers.

Order your groceries online, but pick them up. It saves on delivery fees, and you’ll spend less on impulse purchases than when you shop at the store.

Finally, slow down while driving and don’t gun it at stop lights. On average, in tests, this gained drivers about three miles per gallon.
