What Frugal ways You Have Applied In Your Life to Save Money?

Avoid outside food and rather learn to cook it yourself. Saves money and is healthy when cooked at home.

I cook my own food instead of going to restaurants. And I save in electricity by using clothes according to season.

Like you, we do not use too much a/c. We have one in each bed room, and I turned it on for my daughter when she visited because the room was stuffy. We turn out lights, cook at home, use up leftovers. In the winter instead of lots of heat in the house we use heated blankets and save on natural gas. We do not drive for unnecessary trips. For instance next Friday I have four medical appointments in Marion, the town where I work. It is about twelve miles. I will stay in town all day and pack a breakfast and lunch because I have to go early for a fasting blood draw, but I will need to eat. Much cheaper to take food from home.

I'm really terrible at being frugal. But these days I try to be by talking advantage of discounted items or using vouchers when ordering food deliveries.

Number one..dont spend it in the first place, but I still cant save money.

We do many things to save a bit here and there. Dressing lightly while in the house during warm weather means keeping the a/c off or at a higher setting. Vice versa in the winter. Keeping off lights when possible. Using LED lighting. Also, when buying groceries, we buy store brand when it is as good as or nearly as good as the name brand. Now that I'm home, we no longer need a pet sitter to come by the house. That will save us quite a bit. Being retired also means not driving to work, which saves on gas and vehicle maintenance.

Same, I do not use heat or AC unless absolutely needed.

I try to walk if it is a short distance to save fare money.

I spend for what is needed and do not waste money.

I try to live a simple, happy life and find that I don't really need a lot of things.

We did not install air conditioning, I use the fan only in the room where we work. I hang the laundry instead of using the tumble dryer.

We try to conserve water and electricity in the household. We also cook our own food and eat leftovers as much as possible. When I was still single and living by myself, I would eat only twice a day and choose to walk to nearby destination on good weather. I also avoided eating at fancy restaurants or buying stuff I don't really need.

saving electricity is good for environment also

I guess I'm a very cheap person, because I tend not spend on things I can't afford, but also I generally but cheap alternatives instead of branded items. It kinda work's and to be honest with the economy right now being so low, I got to be more frugal with how spend

If I’m shopping online, I used to go through Rakuten if they carried my store, for cash back. I could get anywhere between 2% to 7% back from whatever I had just spent from an online store. In the winter, I turn my fridge temp down because I don’t need it to be as cold, and it saves electricity. When there is about ten minutes left for something to be cooked in the oven, I turn it off, saving money by letting the residual heat finish cooking what is still inside. And like you, if my lights aren’t being used, and mine aren’t until nighttime, they stay off or unplugged. I also keep my microwave unplugged unless it is in use. And finally, regarding laundry, washing everything in cold water saves money, and will never harm your clothes either.

Yes we watch our electric consumption. It is good because now is rainy season so we use the aircon only during hot days

I only buy what I need.
