In my world, raiding the parents' pantry is called Shopping At The Mom And Pop One Stop Shop 😂'

We went in to donate plasma and were turned down because we were too thin and were vegans

I was an extreme couponed too and was so annoyed when they let the cat out of the bag 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now, I always get rain checks when things are on sale and I snapped all of my receipts to various apps to earn points, gift cards, and cash I have a very solid income, yet I do not own anything that I have not thrifted It becomes a way of life

I’m so sad that I’ve become an adult during the “one coupon per transaction” era 😭

Back when we poor as church mice, we’d go to the local school trash bin on the last day before the Christmas break to “buy” our tree!
Comment from : @kathrynhatcher30

When I eat out at fast food places I will collect the unopened salt/pepper/sugar and sauce sachets that people leave behind The cleaners just throw them away so it's better to take them I eat expired food all of the time and even once ate a can of baked beans that was 3 years past it's date I keep gifts that I won't use and regift them to others I once dropped a toilet roll in the bath by accident and took it out and left it to dry over a week and still used it! I cut open toothpaste tubes or any tube and squeeze every last drop out! I add water to liquid soap to make it last longer I once spent a whole winter without heating and just sat in warm clothing and a blanket over me and a hat I refuse to buy new clothes until they have holes in them I add water to milk/juice to make it last longer I use plastic bags you get shopping and reuse them as trash bags I once bought a small tv and carried it for a mile home so I wouldn't have to pay a delivery charge or pay for transport I'm so frugal, I should write a book!

I am one of the people that has way too much stuff from my garden so I give it away 😂 It was basically one of my life goals to plant a food forest and have a full garden Having so much food you have to give it away is such an awesome problem to have

Comment from : @hersheyti

About 7 years ago, we were going thru some very lean times My kids and I collected mulberry's from our neighbors tree and made jam, we also froze them for baking with and smoothies I would use leftover coffee to make coffee popsicles we hung our clothes to dry we also grew some of our own food, tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers and jalapenos we would make and can our own salsa we made a lot of stuffed peppers I learned to buy in bulk, getting one bulk item at a time we just did what we could with what we had

In Finland they NEVER pay for donating blood - they want to prevent poor people donating blood too often and damaging their heath Here you get a cup of coffee, and that's it

Comment from : @lisapalmeno4488

we seldom eat out and to lessen our bill, bring rice ( in Philippines rice is the essential food ) in a container
Comment from : @maricelmasilang332

I DO NOT BUY ANYTHING NEW , I GO TO THE LOCAL THRIFT STORE OR CONSIGNMENT SHOPS ! I VOLUNTEER FOR LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES AND TAKE A BOX OF GROCERIES HOME FOR MY FAMILY, I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO GETS NO CHILD SUPPORT ! DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU GOT, BEING FRUGAL HAS SAVED MY LIFE & I AM GRATEFUL FOR BEING ABLE TO HELP OTHERS IN THE PROCESS ! DONATE PLASMA, UBER, DOORDASH, CLEANING HOUSES, DOG SITTING, HOUSE SITTING, WE HAVE A COMMUNITY GARDEN AT MY CHURCH AND I GET AS MUCH FRESH PRODUCE FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS HELPING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE ! I MAKE MY OWN CHRISTMAS GIFTS ! THANK YOU ! I HAVE REPEAT CUSTOMERS AT MY GARAGE SALES !
Comment from : @cydneypfeiffer1573

Goodwill, salvation army, thift stores and hand me downs was were most of my kids clothes came from My oldest only wants to get thrift store items and it 13 years old has said "why would we spend x amount of dollars on stuff that is not broken in or lived in already? We can get 4 shirts/pants for the price of one item" I think that is a great why to think Oh and most generic items are the same as name brand just in a different box Again my kids prefer generic foods/snacks
Comment from : @rachelkosmowski8284

It's not "DONATING " plasma if you're getting $$ It's SELLING plasma
Comment from : @CarolFuller-ip9rv

Nurse here I donated plasma for the first time and an hour later I went up a flight of stairs at target and passed out Never again donating plasma 😅
Comment from : @melissasserenity2635

This really doesn't play true any longer, but we moved to save money In the early 2000's the northeast was REALLY expensive Like $20k per year for property taxes for 1/3 acre We packed up what little we owned and moved south with $600, a hope, and a dream We are thriving now and it was the best decision we ever made
Comment from : @AllAboutJeeps79

Manufacturers put "expiration" dates on foods to indicate when the food is at the highest quality and flavor not when it's safe to consume God gave us ladies very sensitive noses I use mine and only use the dates as a rotation tool

Slept in my car at a rest stop on a highway because I couldn’t afford a hotel When I was in grad school I lived on egg salad sandwiches and crystal light for months I had a dozen eggs, one loaf of bread and 3 pods of crystal light a week I still love egg salad 🙂

“We used to stay in my parent’s huge house, and after we moved out we raided their huge pantry”Must be nice to have well off parents This is what’s called white privelege, generational wealth Their house will be passed down to them

Comment from : @phxfarmer4844

I don’t know if camping because you can’t afford a hotel is crazy but it’s certainly crazy to think that your husband was getting his first job out of college and already had a baby and didn’t work Well I guess that’s the Mormon way right?!?

I cannot emphasize shopping at the Goodwill clearance center enough!!! I have found amazing things there for myself, my family and to sell on Poshmark, eBay etc!! The Birkenstocks I am wearing about $120 and they were in great shape

Comment from : @dustinreynolds1552

Is the date on the package an Expiration date? or a Sell By date?
Comment from : @summermercier1901

Even though we were both working full time, our kids were 2,3, and 4, I couldn't afford to go to the laundromat and hand washed our clothes in the bathtub
Comment from : @summermercier1901

Garage/estate sales are magic
Comment from : @masulliv55

I would never it expired food Expired food grows mold If you have asthma and or allergies, like I do, Whew, that's really bad for you There are expiration dates for a reason
Comment from : @allythewriter

Comment from : @MariaGarcia-gj5ie

I use to take the kids for a happy meal once a month, when little 17 years ago , I was eating my sandwitch at home before leaving as could not afford it
Comment from : @dominiquehazzard5925

When my kids were babies, I too was an extreme couponer with my big coupon organizer I saved thousands on groceries I even made money from one transaction I turned my backyard into a huge garden with fruit trees and blackberry bushes I learned how to can and made pasta sauce, salsa, and blackberry jam I was so busy and sooo tired living my best frugal life I wish I slowed down and invested more in forming friendships and playing with my kids Finding the right balance is key to life Those babies grow up too fast
Comment from : @campbellhouse6569

I think it is terrible that previous generations have not prepared for you younger people Corporations and government policies have gutted the economy for younger generations I am 63 and my husband and I watched older generations live in luxury when we were in our 20s, while we struggled to find any sort of legal job, even though we were college educated We became life long thrifters and go married 39 years ago in a two minute ceremony before a judge

Comment from : @Michelle_Ellen87

I've eaten "best by" food Depending on how far out of date it can taste not quite right It's not "bad", it just doesn't taste right I've noticed it mostly with soup
Comment from : @billb945

Eating things that are cheap even though they trash my system At least it's food
Comment from : @loves2rock23

I'm so proud of you Christine 😭
Comment from : @imazal1423

My husband and I painted a large shed in order to make money to put as a down payment on our first minivan By that time, we had 4 kids and 2 in car seats One of those car seats was our baby in the front seat between me and my husband Thats why a van was so needed The best $400 we ever spent! 1995!
