It depends. Eg, if I have a loan that has set payments, but I have no savings. It may make sense to just may the required monthly payments and use the extra money to out aside for savings. If I focus on the debt payment above getting some savings going, if another emergency comes up, I have no recourse but to get into more debt to sort it out.

We have great paper towels in the restroom and after I wash my hands, I bring them to my office to reuse after they dry. On Friday, if I have accumulated more than I re-used, I bring them home for quick wipe ups. I hardly use paper towels at home, but they are handy for oops on the floor or wiping meat drippings before I spray clean.

For produce try drying and freezing. You dont need expensive drying gadgets either. I dry spinach on a silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet and make a pesto or add it to scrambled eggs. Diced onions, peppers, celery, freeze well and will cook up nice in soups and pot pies. And old bread makes great bread pudding or French toast casserole.

I have purchased gifts ahead of time when found at super clearance for decades. Note: Keep a list in your phone or other highly accessible place that lists people and gifts that you have purchased. When my children were young, I often developed a ‘standard’ gift for birthday parties. These standard gifts were often an item I found on sale in larger quantities. I also made many gifts so that they were unique. This was super frugal when we lived in an affluent area where people often spent $50 on a child’s birthday party gift.

It did take about a week to get to my house, so luckily I placed an order before I was out. It's worth checking out!

For some of these, depending on where you live, you can't do them. For instance, there's no public transportation where I live and walking or riding a bike isn't feasible for where I need to go. I don't do warehouses because I realized that I was buying things I wouldn't normally have bought. Making your own bread isn't always cheaper. I can get a loaf of bread in Lidl for $0.50. I can't make a loaf for that price. Thrift stores are not always cheaper when it comes to clothes. Plus, if they don't have your size, it's a wasted trip. I've been buying the same jeans for years. I have a system for it. A good pair is a pair that has no stains or holes in them. Once they get either, I put an X on the tag. I don't work, so those become the jeans I wear every day.

All of these are good tips! Several depend on a person's circumstances, of course.. For example, public transpo / ride-sharing may not be viable in some areas and/or cause such a loss of time/personal hardship that it's actually a negative. A smart phone is more expensive due to the data upcharges, that's for sure, but at the same time, I use Ibotta and Fetch apps, as well as my local grocery stores' apps for digital coupons, etc., which save me a ton of money every year, and require a smartphone. I rarely go out to eat - truly only for special occasions, but when I do, it's more of a fine-dining situation where coupons/Groupon deals don't apply. I'm okay with that, because it's literally only 2-3x/year. It's all relative to the individual.

Don't forget the markdown rack at the grocery store. It is usually things which are going to expire soon but are fine within a few days. I have a discount where I work and it always says on the receipt what I have saved I try and put even half of what I saved away because normally I would have spent that money as well. One month I saved over $60 ! One last one if you are very disciplined use a credit card that has points or cash back and use the rewards for groceries. But only if you pay it off every month. Put all monthly bills and even taxes and insurance , water bill on the card to get the points. But as I said only if you can pay it off every month.

If your bank or credit union charges a fee to pay your bills using their bill pay service, change banks! Very few banks charge a fee for this in my area.

For tip #10 (smart phone) there's inexpensive phone & monthly unlimited talk, text & data for it out there. Shop around.

I don't know if yall, those in comments n Sarah, have a Dollar General, but their sales can be great. My family loves Angel Hair Pasta. It is onlyv$1.00 for a whole pound. It tastes n cooks great. Whenever we go to $ General we always pick up one box of the pasta n add to the ones at home. I think that's a frugal idea. Price Angel Hair Pasta at WalMart or wherever u shop: I guarantee they will be higher. Hope this little addition helps somei One. And. God bless u n urs, Sarah, n all commenters.
