Reddit to talk about frugal ideas,some money saving hacks from cheap people.

less junk and end up with lessjunk and stuff than you really want.
Use a budgeting app to track impulsepurchases, just the purchases you don't really

(00:21):
need to make. It shows howit adds up every month. Use the
library, of course, it's free. You can stream movies sometimes now and
even check out tools from your library. Pay with cash when you're out with
friends. Take a set amount.It'll keep you from over spending, especially
if you're out drinking. Plan yourmeals while you shop, like if pork
chops are on sale, you cando that instead of let's say you were

(00:42):
planning on doing chicken and then alsopack a lunch. Not a new idea.
Somebody did the math. They foundit saved them thirty five thousand dollars
in twelve years, about three granda year, which makes sense because I
bring my lunch almost every day.There was a couple of guys that worked
here. They would go out forlunch every single day and spend between six
and twelve dollars, probably an averageof about nine which ended up being over

(01:03):
the year's time, over a couplethousand dollars. So yeah, in a
year's time, it will really addup. So there's some hacks for people
that are cheap like me deeper inthe two. Well, you know,

and about half of those have triedto correct them. Overall, they ask
people what cleaning tasks they're told they'redoing wrong. The number one answer folding
laundry. I'm told frequently that Ido it wrong. My wife worked in
retail for many years before she gotinto finance biz, and she knows how

(01:47):
to fold stuff, and I justit's like a cheap hack, knockoff the
way I do it. Anyway,So what are some of the chores that
we have our own spin on thatare right or wrong. Top ten chores
We've been doing wrong or incorrectly.Folding laundry, as I said, tops,
a list that was followed by moppingand sweeping, doing laundry, loading
the dishwasher, doing dishes, myhand gardening, yardwork, mowing the lawn,

(02:10):
cleaning the toilet, cleaning furniture,and dusting. You know, you
talk about doing laundry and I alwayshave to ask my wife what setting and
should I use. I remember theone time I called her and I said,
hey, I want to wash thisT shirt. How do you use
the washer again? She goes,well, what does it say on the
shirt? And I looked at itand I said, pink Floyd to me
