Frugal People Are Sharing The One Thing They Absolutely Refuse To Spend Money On, And Honestly, They’re Right – BuzzFeed

“1) Switching to microfiber cloths. Yellow and green for the kitchen; pink and blue for the washroom. I only use paper towels for biological messes now (mostly cat hairballs every so often). 2) I started air-drying my clothes. I use a few bungee cords and a clothes horse on my balcony. 3) Heavily limiting vices to one day a week, Saturday is my ‘IDGAF’ day where I have $12 to go wild, but regardless of how stressful the week is, I don’t give in earlier. That means no sneaky take-outs, and not drowning any stress in an edible or wine. Mostly just learning to handle most stress the proper way. It’s helped me center my life better. I grew up in chaos and have learned to cope with chaos, so unlearning that is invaluable.”

“4) Keeping subscriptions and online purchases to a minimum. If it’s not something I normally would buy for the house, then it sits in the cart a few days. I have a note where I write every subscription I have and have it widgeted, so I see it every time I’m on my phone. I’m a master of out of sight, out of mind, so this helps keep me in check and way less likely to forget a trial. 5) Mending my own stuff. If something breaks, I try and repair it before buying a new one. I’ve learned how to sew pretty well, I’ve fixed the stove, the fridge, I’ve learned to dye clothing, etc. video tutorials and Google and save so much money on minor repairs. 6) Oh, and I make my own coffee, it’s good, it’s hot, I have a frother to make things fancy. I haven’t missed coffee lines at all.”
