Clever People Are Sharing Their Tips To Living More Frugally, Here Are 30 Of The Best

As a parent there were things I was able to find loads of savings. Not being a brand/new-only snob was crucial. I did buy a few key clothes for my daughter, but she got boxes and boxes of hand-me-downs from her Dad's littles cousins. She got tons of toys from friends and family at Christmas and her birthday. She didn't even know there was a toy department at Zellers until she was in Grade 3 or 4. We did toy rotations every 6 months with half her toys. Beds, and furniture were carefully selected at thrifts stores. Library cards are a blessing. Making food at home was a given. Living in Canada with public healthcare certainly helped big. The biggest expense was childcare but if you made under a certain level you can qualify for subsidy & pay less. Her whole family help contribute to her, and the other kid's, trust fund for college, or whatever. We never stressed on University. Community college is fine. No need for orthodontics. She's now an adult who knows how to save.

In Germany, it's quite the opposite. Avoid the cheap 1 Euro stores for smaller items, as they are usually smaller packs (think travel size, mostly 3 x the drugstore price). Most of the time there's a drugstore nearby (walking distance) where you can get the hygiene items for really cheap (regular size)

To this day most of my family refers to a strainer/colander as a "noodle stay, water go" because my older brother called it that once when he couldn't find it and needed to ask where it was.

Uh huh. Those pics don’t show you the reality, which is that the kids would continue to jump until all the pillows and blankets were covered in popcorn and spilled drinks then they’d all come inside to sleep because “it’s nasty out there” and “Jaxon twisted his ankle doing a backflip off the couch.” Hard nope. 🫣

Towels. Honestly, I was almost 10 When I realized people didn’t just put back on their dirty clothes after a shower because my family was so large (12 kids total including myself) and extremely poor. I thought towels were just for hotels or were maybe a prop on television. I went to a friends house and she asked for my help folding her towels. I remember laughing and thinking she must be rich. Long story short, I wasn’t sure which way to fold the towels, and begged my mom to buy them after I revealed that my friend, Simone, had them. She bought a box of used ones from a local auction and I walked around with them on my head feeling like a frigging empress after that, even though—-let’s be clear…these were second hand towels! 😂

Unfortunately this is not exactly true. The chart is partly correct as it refers to the sugar content naturally occuring in the grapes, but not taking into account the process. The sweetness of wine is not only determined by original grape but by vinification. Riesling, for example, more often than not is vinified as dry, although having much (inherent) sugar to begin with. Dry ports and dry moscato do exist, as do sweet Sangiovese or Sauvignon Blanc. To make matters even more complicated, this variies regionally - some grapes are mostly vinified dry in one country and sweet in another.

intolerances are linked to the status of gut mucus cells. If they're somehow damaged it can result in this (very simlified explanation tho). Also had period of lactose intolerance once.

you can speed it up when you fill in jars with hot content (right after removing from stove), lightly screw the lids and immerse it half way into cold water or simply put outside in cold season. We are using it to store soups this way, so they last fresh for weeks in fridge.

Wounds and bone breaks are actively held together by your body: more specifically, the collagen it produces that acts like glue. If you don't eat enough vitamin C and get scurvy, you won't produce enough collagen—old wounds will reopen and long-healed bones could break apart again. Collagen also holds your teeth in, so they loosen and can fall out. Eat some fruit, folks. Don't push that parsley to the side of your plate.
