The definition of frugal: why living on the cheap is so great
Let’s talk about how to save money and be more frugal. What does it mean to be frugal? Frugal living is all about being more careful with your money, learning to be more resourceful and creative and realizing the things that you believe are truly important.
Rather than being miserly like Ebenezer Scrooge, people who commit to frugal simple living know how to spend their money wisely in order to become happier and get the most bang for their buck.
Some tips on how to save money
Living simply doesn’t always come naturally to many people. In order to be frugal, take a hard look at your expenses and see where you can pinch pennies. Here are a few of our favorite tips for how to save money if you’re on a tight budget:
- Cook your own meals in advance on the weekends so you won’t have to buy a pricey lunch at work every day. Remember to store the leftovers!
- Subscribe to newsletters from stores and supermarkets so that you’ll be notified about sales and discounts. Use an app like Flipp that will let you do that from your phone – just don’t be tempted to break your budget. Try shopping at thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales.
- Don’t waste the items you buy such as beauty and cleaning products. You can even experiment with your own natural alternatives, like baking soda instead of toothpaste.
- Set up reminders to pay your bills, so that you won’t forget and get hit with a nasty late fee.
