I am not stingy but frugal. I buy goods in bulk, save by buying only necessary stuff and that too only after finding the lower priced one, after asking in many shops. I also recycle clothes and wear mix and match. Home made dishes also help me save a lot. please give me more tips.

I would advise you to save for what you want rather than take things on credit. Those interest rates are ridiculous! If you have a credit card, use it only for emergencies. If you don't already have one, don't get one.

Good advice. I only have one credit card and use it only for big items and pay it before I pay one penny of interest.

We eat rice dishes all the time to save money. We do not buy new clothes at all. We have very little here. I have no advice except for not to spend money when we dont have to.

I hope your govt. does something to improve your situation. Reports from the west are indeed disturbing.

@sreekutty Thank you for kind words sreekutty. And you also friend..we are all in the same boat world wide. We all have to be frugal. I am so grateful for the food and the roof over our head and the bed to sleep in.
