As someone who's been doing frugal living for s few years starting in college, thought I'd leave some of the personal rules i have for myself, especially in light of some recent posts
Don't eat food that is unreasonably past it's expiration.
Don't solely eat food that has little to no nutritional value or is processed and contains harmful ingredients/levels of sodium (i.e. ramen, mac & cheese, hot dogs, ).
Don't buy healthcare and hygiene products with sketchy ingredients or don't have proper FDA approval.
Don't invest in cheap athletic/work equipment like footwear that will end up injuring you or causing long-term health effects that could be avoided by spending $20 dollars on shoes.
Don't live in borderline dangerous conditions that make you miserable to save on rent.
Don't attempt dangerous tasks that require professional training or more physical strength than you have to avoid paying a contractor.
