r/Frugal

: "What Frugal things do you think are *too* Frugal?"

: "When my hubby retired last month he received a nice severance check. So we packed the chest freezer with meat, poultry, seaFood. All i got at our meat packer or discounted at various stores. We also invested in a Food saver. Best thing we did."

: "I’m single and live alone. How much are you guys spending on food per month? I feel like I’m bleeding Money but maybe it’s just how things are"

: "Have you ever heard of the $1/use rule? If I see a shirt that's $20, I have to think of 20 times I will wear said shirt. For a $100 kitchen appliance I have to think of 100 times I will use it. It really puts things in perspective for me."

: "Was doing great w/ Savings and frugality til I had to buy prescription sunglasses… "

: "I Lived on a $50 Weekly Grocery Budget for a Month—Here’s What I Learned!"

: "I pay extra for air chilled and traditionally-raised chicken and organic ingredients, and Cooking from scratch is still leagues cheaper than going out. I spent Sunday making a double batch of butter chicken, lentil curry, cumin rice, and naan, and spent ~$50 on ~16 portions of food."

: "Frugality Saved Us From Ruin This Year With Home Repairs"

: "ok here's the question!! Is it more economical to drive an old Car (say thirty plus years) or keep buying new/used and at what age? Bit of an algorithm but maybe it can be kept simple"

: "I had to stop myself from going overboard on the Frugality this month"
