Do you get the streaming service that many libraries offer? It’s called Kanopy and they must have at least a 100,000 titles. All genres. You get 20 tickets per month and most movies use 2. There are so many recent movies too. I always look there after seeing that something I want to watch is $3.99 at least on other streaming services. I’m usually happily surprised to find many of them there.

When living alone, I ate most of my meals in my easy chair. I bought terry cloth adult bibs which I kept by my chair and still keep in my car. This practice has spared me much angst, money, and time from stained clothes. Messy eater, I guess. lol

My husband got frustrated not having his haircut how he wanted it. He found a guy here on YT showing grooming tips and one was how to cut your own hair, it happened to be in the style hubby likes. Once he started doing that he hasnt looked back! I have found a couple hair dressers on YT showing how to cut/maintain long hair and that is what I do. I also unpoo, I use baking soda mixed with water for shampoo and add rosemary EO to apple cider vinegar & water as conditioner. I had stopped and gone back to conventional hair products and then I got really really sick and lost at least 1/3rd of my hair. So I went back to unpooing and my hair came back better than before. Its thicker and grows quickly vs using store products. BUT, I know for some people it can dry their hair out so I suggest if you look into this to use a small amount of baking soda to see how your hair feels and adjust from there. 😊

I have found that my well stocked Sewing Basket has saved me a bundle. I sew on buttons; make repairs and darn and that means clothes stay in good shape for longer. I am, as a Canadian, a huge fan of the Royal Family and it may interest you to know that they are all VERY frugal! Queen Elizabeth refused to raise the heat during the winter months (and now King Charles also maintains 'cold' rooms "just wear a sweater" - much to the chagrin of his wife Camilla). The late Prime Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher wrote in her autobiography that she spent a weekend with the Queen at Sandringham Palace and after dinner the Queen disappeared. Mrs. Thatcher tracked her down in the back kitchen - where she saw Queen Elizabeth with yellow rubber dish gloves up to her elbows in dishwater 'washing up'! The Queen tossed Mrs. Thatcher a dish towel and asked her to dry. Princess Anne has been photographed numerous times wearing the same outfits from back in the 1980s! King Charles' regularly wears his late father's wool trench coat (40 years old!!). So apart from their devotion to service and charity and despite the family being interesting historical figures, they are also very very conscious about frugality and waste! Cheers from Toronto!

I have to go to the laundromat as our apartment does not allow washers. I don't dry my clothes at the laundromat. I bring them home and hang them around my apartment. Usually in 3-4 hours several things are already dry and can be put away.

Moving to the UK has made me inadvertently more frugal. Small house and yard; no dryer; no dishwasher; learning to cook so I could eat favourites I used to get mixes for; quitting almost all toiletries except deodorant, mascara, lip gloss, bar soap, and sunscreen. Creating the right environment and capitalising on laziness (I stopped using most toiletries out of laziness and then realised you can live without most) makes frugality easy 😂

I started measuring my laundry detergent about a year ago instead of just guessing what I needed. I do have a lot of laundry, my husband has a lawn business. Every time I do a load of laundry, I put $! in my little bank. I also make sure I have a full load of laundry before I wash. At the end of the year, I will split that savings between myself,for something I need or want, and someone else who may need a little extra help at Christmas time. So far this year, I've saved $110. I don't miss the money through the year, and it's a fun way to treat myself, and give to someone else. Every year after Christmas, I start buying Christmas for the following Christmas on heavily discounted things. I have my Grandchildren's Christmas ready to go, and the nieces and nephews gifts too. It also allows me to give for toy collections for families in need at Christmas, as long as I'm able, I'll always do that. I love it. Some of my family use to get a big laugh when after Christmas I'd be Christmas Shopping for the following Christmas. Now they understand. It's always wonderful tobe able to adopt a family at Christmas. I have Never wanted a dishwasher. I wash dishes as I cook, and believe me, I have big family dinners at my house often, I fed 23 people on Friday, and the same 2 weeks prior. Family Dinners are our entertainment. I cook, and everyone brings a dish. We invested in a water slide/bounce house about 5 years ago. That's all the entertainment the Grands/ nieces and nephews need. They love it. Worth every dime. I keep a well stocked pantry with sale items, and rotate often. I'm thankful I love to cook, and can't remember the last time I bought coffee or any convenience item while out. I carry my insulated cup full if ice water/coffee from home. I forgot to add, we use an outside antenna for TV. My husband loves it.

So many great ideas! My tips: Spent $40 on Roku 7 years ago and we haven’t paid a dime for cable or movies since. We also indoor line dry everything except towels, sheets and underwear. My experience with our auto scanner: I got a dash light on my 15 year old car. The scanner code alerted me that the gas cap was not on correctly. Thankfully I didn’t stop by the auto repair shop because the fix cost zero dollars. We also have a jump pack in each vehicle in case the battery dies which has saved us on towing/shop costs. A bidet has saved us hundreds on toilet paper and is better for the environment. We have used our flower beds for perennial edibles such as herbs, strawberries, raspberries, asparagus, etc. A note on the wood: we pay a small fee and harvest dead wood from State land. It is some work up front, but we can heat our home with the wood stove all winter for $20.

We live in SC and deal with heat and humidity much more than cold. In the summertime grilling is big here. And cold dishes. For instance deli sandwiches, pasta salad with meat and cheese in them, salads, cold soups. These also keep the stove use down and thus keep the house cooler. I use my crockpots (and Instant pot) a lot year round much more than the oven. Our great grandmothers had to use wood stoves to cook. In the summer they would often just use it early morning (5am-6am) to cook for the whole day. My paternal grandmother had an electric range on one end of the kitchen and her wood cooking stove on the other end. She would make huge breakfasts and cook meat and a big pan of biscuits for the rest of the day using her woodstove. At lunch and dinner time, if something needed to be re-heated, she turned on the electric stove to heat quickly. She also preferred using the electric range for canning days because you could control temperature better. Once they got a freezer, she froze more than she canned because it didn't heat the kitchen up as much. She had a bank of windows over the sink which were as important as having upper cabinets back then in order to open them and let the heat out.

My house was built in 1958 for solar effect. The roof has a large overhang with picture windows facing south and 2 windows facing north. There are no windows east or west. The garage on the west side protects our living space from winter winds and the overhang allows full sun to come in during the winter and no sun in the summer. If it is sunny and not below 20 the furnace never kicks on during the day. I use a wood stove to help heat at night which sits below the cold air return next to the furnace. The living room, kitchen, and dining room are open to both the north and south windows that can be opened to allow air to pass through in spring and fall. I grow my garden plants from seed, freeze, dry, and can the surplus, have a large compost pile, get eggs and honey from my son who has chickens and bees, and cut my acre of lawn, myself. For many years I cut my family's hair and mine, sewed my clothes, and did needlework. I also baked and made our bread and rolls. I have a large freezer but just use and keep reusing plastic freezer containers. The freezer is not frost free so I don't have the problem of freezer burn. I also wrap meat in freezer paper and seal with masking or filament tape. I have used this food for up to 2 years with no issues.

I bought a metal clothes drying rack 20 years ago this summer. It folds up for storage and has saved me a great deal of money. Using my toaster oven rather than my large oven has saved me money too.

Great tip!

I love finding some dear old woman's things in a thrift store. Muslin sheets. Thick towels, old cookbooks, quality items younger ones don't seem to like. I have old family canning books with how to mix fruits to get the soft ones that require pectin which others have in abindance. We even made our own pectin from sour inedible apples. Worked very well. Pressure canner was a big money saver. We had our own meat. Putting it in jars saved freezer space. Very old cookbooks tell you how to make healrhy satisfying meals from during the depression or when living on food rations during WW2. A good healthy wife earned her salary by her work to make a clean, comfy home, with healthy food. We have lost many good things with 'keep up with the Jone's and modern cheap ways.

Buying a whole, pasture raised cow that we find others to go in with us and split up the meat and cost, buying raw milk, cream and butter from an Amish lady, having gardens and an orchard, harvesting wild edibles, preserving harvests by freezing, canning and drying, hanging all laundry out to dry, missing my wringer washer, holding onto our vehicles for years, using a wood/coal fired cook stove for heating and cooking, fixing things rather than replacing them when possible, we both have jobs that don't require a special wardrobe, I drive a school van so no need for a car for me to get to work since I keep it at home, buy our clothes and housewares from the thrift store, keep the same cell phone for years, same undergarments until they fall apart, cut our own hair.I feel my dishwasher saves so much time and I keep the same one until it's not repairable. We pay our insurance every 6 months-rather than monthly-so we get a discount. So many good ideas here. I do spend on essential oils, anti-aging skin care, high quality supplements and good ayervedic dental products, and a water flosser prescribed by my dentist. Oh, I'm on keto so sometimes I do have to spend on special ingredients.

My best money saving is not and item but a person. My husband can fix most everything, lawnmowers, cars, house hold items, hot water heater element and then installation of a new hot water heater. He, like Paul will look around his garage and storage building to find things that he can make work for a repair or even a solution to an issue without us having to spend any money. Learning to do things on your own is HUGE. In money saving. I many many coworkers who have house cleaners come in one a weak to clean and so they laundry!!!! Blows our minds!!! And now that I am set to retire early they say I don’t know how you can do it?! Well I could tell them the years of planning that has gone into this decision.

My toilet cloth and kitchen rags saved me over the years. I hang my laundry on a rack. I eat less bread, no sugar, no juice etc. I have to have my coffee and creamer.

I use my Thermos every day for my hot coffee. My coffee is weak so fancy coffee machines wouldn’t work for me. I don’t have milk or sugar either. So instead of boiling water (several times over) for a cup of coffee, getting bored waiting and wandering off to do something else, it’s 4 cups made all at once. It stays nice and hot for a good 18 hours if I haven’t drunk it all before then. It saves electricity and it’s convenient. ❤

Excellent tips. The American Woman's Cookbook is phenomenal. When my grandmother got married in 1949, a local newspaper gifted her a copy, and last year, she gave her copy to me. I treasure it and use it all the time. The book can be pricey, even used, but free PDFs are available online. Most of what I grow in my garden (flowers, herbs, other plants) are perennials. Something I did to save more money this year on all that is NOT a perennial was seed save from what I grew LAST year (carrots being the only exception). Tomatoes, peppers, squash, flowers....you name it! My sister and I also did a seed exchange so neither of us needed to purchase anything. I took cuttings from whatever herbs were not cold hardy and started new plants from those. Lastly, I saved potatoes from the store that we hadn't eaten before they sprouted, placed them in egg cartons so they'd get some good "eyes" on them, and planted those instead of buying seed potatoes. Everything is growing beautifully! Seed saving from your own garden and planting food scrapes are both so easy to do and save a lot of money.

In Central Florida and yes, it does get really cold occasionally. Ive been told by someone who was stationed in Alaska and Death Valley and grew up in Tennessee, that he got colder in Florida than anywhere else because it was a sneaky , humid cold that went through your clothes and straight into your bones. Keeping warm is all about the layering, and using polar fleece under a windbreaker of some sort. Keeping cool, is actually wearing all natural lightweight fibers, long sleeves and if you're going to be outside, wet is better. I learned that from someone who spent time in India for six months with no air conditioner. She was told to wear wet long sleeve tee shirts near a fan because the evaporation automatically cools up to 30 degrees.

Lived in Nevada growing up and line dried all laundry outside. Had 3 lines. Once I got to the end of the third line, I literally could begin folding the items on the first line! Now on the east coast we dry our clothes inside the warmest room of the house. We have a clothes rack that we purchased years ago and hang all jeans & shirts/blouses. A small rack for undies. Only use the dryer for towels & sheets because I like the softness. But that’s only one time weekly. Vinegar in your laundry helps soften clothes, keep the colors bright, use less detergent & no need for fabric softener. Plus it keeps our cesspool from backing up. Our plumber is very proud of us!!! Don’t use powdered detergent; only liquid. Also use vinegar to clean windows, mirrors and all the bathrooms. Great disinfectant.

I don't can as much now that I live alone but use the glass jars for food storage in my pantry and freezers. I always buy milk by the gallon as it's cheaper that way and split it up in glass quart jars and keep two in the fridge and freeze two. That way the milk doesn't go bad before I can use it. If it's on special sale, I'll buy two or three gallons and store all the extra in glass jars in the freezer. Milk just seems to taste better out of glass containers!

Gardening not only saves my sanity, I find it unbelievable that letting even a single lettuce 'go to seed' after it's provided so many leaves will provide food for pollinators AND gives me thousands of seeds to resow and also to share with friends. I've literally broken an overripe tomato over soil, sprinkled with a little soil and had SO many seedlings germinate - potted up LOADS of smaller pots to share with friends. Same story with my bell peppers - I took the seeds and sprinkled them in an open pot and voila - LOADS of seedlings that I transplanted once they'd grown a little.
