Surviving comfortablely on very little money, how do you do it?

hm, i ever on those situation too dear, and i always trying to avoid it from those experience. on that time, our money (me and my husband's money) too little to have standard menu. so in order to make us survive till receive paycheck, we bought a rice and eat it with only with eggs or salty fish and off course with "sambal" (its mixed of chilli, tomato, salt and sugar also lottle bit onion). hmmm, eating those food in warmly tempterature was yummy although we not able to buy more in order to avoid those condition, i become more wisely in spending my paycheck for buying any goods so in the end of month, we still have some extra money

If I lived on my own I probably couldnt do it for we share most bills here.

I shop at the dollar store a lot. I buy things like toilet paper, toothpaste, and shampoo there. I also shop at discount stores such as aldis and save a lot. I dont buy things that I dont need such as paper towels ( i can just use a towel if need be) I buy food that isnt processed and individually wrapped since this is often more expensive.

I have to be thrifty about food a lot because of bills and all that stuff. Some good, cheap things you can make decent meals out of are rice, beans, and chicken (the cheaper parts like thighs, and you can always freeze what you don't use right away). Peanut butter is good too, it's not very exciting but it does the job and is really filling. If you have access to a space where you can have a small garden, it's an excellent way to get vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers cheaply in the spring and summer. My family did this all the time when I was a kid. A packet of seeds or one plant costs the same or less than one portion of vegetables from the store, and can grow a lot more of them. I also go to the dollar store. Stuff like toilet paper, soap, etc is cheap there, and they sometimes have a decent selection of canned or packaged food too.
