Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. And as an added bonus, leftovers make a great lunch the next day. Instead of eating out, pack your lunch. Go to the library. Instead of buying books, check them out of the library. Brown bag it to work.

Amusing Free Produce Living within walking distance of our city library is another win. Not intentional, in fact when we purchased the house the library was in a different location miles away, but it’s been a huge boon for our family since it moved locations. Also, thrifting —I very rarely buy new, it’s normally secondhand.

Easiest is so many parts of living frugal are just natural, like it didn’t occur to me that packing my lunch/making my own coffee/repairing ripped things is abnormal or cost effective-I just did it, then reading Kristen opened my eyes to a lot of neat saves, things I do that I didn’t even consider frugal!
