As a self employed therapist now, I often discuss the elimination of alcohol because it absolutely can derail plans to improve your life. Alcohol is a neurotoxin and should not even be consumed by people who take any psychiatric medication. I gave it up because I didn’t necessarily like how I felt afterwards even if it’s one drink! Plus, its now the “ in thing” to be a non-drinker so save your health, your mind and your bank account and give it up! Lol

The frugal habits we do is keep our air conditioner (in 113 degree temps) at 79 degrees, this has really helped our AC bill and it's still comfortable in the house. In the cold mos we use a space heater and use less of our ac/heat.

I don’t mind the heat, so I stayed upstairs but my daughter ( and the dogs) retreated to the basement ( cool 65 degrees) to watch tv, exercise, and work on projects. That small investment years ago( to make a nice space) has more than paid off in ac savings.

My mother always did all her baking one day a week. That way, the oven was always full when she used it, no wasted energy heating it up, or cooking only one item at a time. And, always make enough for more than one meal, eating left-overs is a great way to save energy and time. And, our salads always came from the garden, fruit to eat fresh, or to make pies etc. also came from the garden. We always had enough to share with neighbours and friends.

My most recent saver is to learn to live without for a while. Sometimes my old stuff breaks. When it does, I figure out how to not get one right away. I keep a list in my head and watch at curb piles and thrift stores. Most recently, I realized I need a new kitchen scale. I priced them online, but it was 30-40 dollars. Decided I could make do. Looked up how to measure pasta for proper weight. Then I found a scale in a curb pile. Perfect. Next, my 1990 hot pot quit working (goodbye college hot pot 😢) . So sad. Started boiling water for tea on the stove. Found a used hot pot at a free garage sale last weekend. Most modern conveniences aren’t really needed, so there are other ways to do that. I’ll never give up the YMCA though. That helps to keep me as healthy as possible. True about the driving, my kids are always trying to get me to run around. Now they know that mom tries to only go “to town” once a day 😂

We like these types of passive measures. They do require an "investment purchase" (or rods and curtains) but it is on your time and budgetary scheduling. Once you've installed them however, there is minimal fuss, muss, labor, or cost; 'ya just sit back, let them do thier thing, and let the savings build to first pay for the investment cost then reap the tru savings. If you have a house, look into what are traditionally called "foundation plantings". They used to be standard, before a/c, but can get in the way of repairs and matinenance to the side of the house and even be bad for a foundation. Thier function is to shade the foundation of a house or the exterior space between the side of the building and the ground; keeping the crawl space or basement cool in the summer and warm in the winter can passively mitigate 8nterior temperatures too. A general rule of thumb is nothing closer than 18" from the side of the building; all the more important if you've got an 18" eave over hang and the plants get no rain water. The practical rule of thumb is nothing that a ladder, paint job, gutter cleaning, or roofing will completely kill. The thinking brain towards foundation preservation says nothing with aggressive roots despite being 12 to 36 inches from the building's side. We live in fern country and I like them for an assortment of reasons including being able to trim them down to 2"-3" from the soil's surfaces without killing them. Both American calla lillies and tiger day lilies date back into the 1940's if not earlier and iris where the conditions are tough. We have an enormous number of additional options now adays including a row of sunflowers which help to shade the siding too.

Frugal Habits: 1) I keep a list of grocery items that I will need soon. When I make my grocery list using the websites of the 2 grocery stores near me, I check for sales on those items that I need. If it's not on sale, I wait until it is on sale. 2) I also have my entertainment system things (TV, Apple TV, sound system) plugged into a power strip & I turn the strip off when I'm not using it. It saves money on phantom power charges. If an electronic device has a remote, it draws electricity even when it's off. 3) I use my credit card to buy groceries, gas, repairs to HVAC, etc to get the cash back & pay everything off every month. So far this year I've redeemed $105 that I used to pay part of my balance. This will only work if you pay off the balance every month.

Reduces the cost and the washing and they really don’t sweat. I also put all the clothes on a quick wash with a lower temperature and put in less washing liquid and line dry as much as possible.

Frugal Habits! I turn the water temperatre down in the summer and reduce the time the water is on for, the water takes less time to heat up from the mains during summer and I don't like a super hot bath (only in winter) but prefer a warm soak, also turn down the shower temperature so have a cooler shower. Our plugs in UK mean we don't need to unplug eveything just flip the switch to off and the power is off. When cooking I make at least double and then freezer for later when it's hot and I don't want to have the oven on. Love those leftovers they are your future gift to yourself! Even if a couple of spoons of corn are left over I add these to tiny containers and freeze, same with mashed potatoes freeze in portion sizes in bags then I can add to another dish another time, I do the same with jar sauces. If veggies start to mount up then make a fritatta with them all and eat for lunches and with salad.

Recently I've had to use ice packs due to a medical need and have discovered an additional way to use them. Rather than cool the entire house we often use fans in a room if the person there prefers it to be cooler than someone else in another area of the house might. I've discovered that the ice pack often keeps me from needing to even use the fan or as the temp is going up it allows me to not turn the fan up higher when using both items. Debbie

I use android phones. They work just as good as iPhones. And cost way less. Now is the time to check winter weather gear. Snow blowers. Shovels. Snow tires. Winter clothes. Get the heating fixed if need be. Order the firewood and heating oil. Check space heaters. Why now? It gives time to prepare for the cold weather. Do this with summer gear in April.. Why. It saves money by knowing exactly what you need to replace or repair

Fasting is also a great way to save money and lose weight. Being a Mindful Prepper mitigates inflation and shortages, very handy to have a back-up for emergencies.

I dress in layers in the winter, differently in fall and spring, and often even in the summer any more. Layers, especially winter layers, can add up to quite the quantity of clothing in the laundry. For myself, I have returned to examining which layer is actually getting "dirty" and needs laundering then switch up the layer level for some additional wearings. The layer next to the body gets body oils et al. The layer on the outside shows the spills, dribbles, dust, and dirt etc...The middle layer(s) have neither body oils nor spills unless there has been some sweating going on or youve had a spill beyond a dribble. And then, a little dribble (and stains after laundering) doesn't show when its covered up by a top layer.

I stopped wearing wool sweaters for this reason. Wool sweaters are so delicate to wash. The under layers of tees are easy. Down vest or fleece vest over a long sleeve tee is my go to in the winter.

@@sct4040 i looove wool. When I worked where I had to essentially wear a uniform and alsomwith cold blasts of air, imjsed to go thrift shopping for well oversized, men's wool, over the head, sweater vests in January, after Christmas. Then i would wash those vests in hot water and dry on hot to shrink them up, and wear them as undershirts. Of course, if they wore out or kept shrinking in my normal laundry ... they began as bargin thrift store finds.

With only 1 to 4 people at the table, consider making that 6 to 8 serving casserole, crockpot concoction, dessert, etc... Serve half as a "fresh cook" and let the other half cool while eating. Put into the fridge when cooled to stiffen up then spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use that plastic wrap and maybe another to make it freezer ready, write the date and what it is, then freeze. With the power of a microwave, unwrap then thaw and heat on those nights you dont want to cook.
