I do this. It's like $5! I also drink Vitali vodka and know all the stores in BR that have 2/$4 Bud Light 25oz.

I'll "weld" the last sliver of a bar of soap onto I new one so I don't waste any.

I save old wash cloths for dusting. And, I use them on the swiffer mop for floors.

Yes it is. And, it allowed me to retire very comfortably at age 62. My husband waited till he was 65. Enjoying life before it ends.
Forgot to mention, still driving a '98 Toyota 4-Runner. Paid for, runs well.

Does your husband post here?

I'm sure saving 3-5k on clothes really helped y'all retire comfortably

Over the years, that savings adds up. We are set to retire at 57.

I am reading this thread for pointers...does that count?

I'll probably NEVER buy small garbage bags, like for the bathroom can or anything else.
That's why have a closet full of grocery store bags...mainly for this purpose

I drive a 13 year old truck with 200k miles, even though I can easily buy a new one. The AC still blows cold, so I don't care. I have been hit 3 times in the last year by careless drivers. I kept the insurance money and didn't do the repairs. My wife refuses to ride in it.

I can't remember the last time I purchased soap or shampoo.. I travel a lot and take it with me.
Only order water at restaurants.

I reuse razor blades til they're blunt.

Rarely order anything other than water at restaurants. Always pick up pizza instead of delivery to avoid the delivery fees.

For me it is probably clothes. I wear jeans and boots all the time and and wear them till they get worn out. My wife buys my shirts because I won't ever go shopping for them.

I don't tip for take out.

I "save" things I receive as gifts and never use them. I have a drawer full of shirts unopened in their packages.

Charge everything on cash back credit cards and pay off monthly.
Have earned well over $5,000 in cash back. Parlay it into even more by using it for gift cards at $40 for $50 rate.

I save my husbands old/mismatched clean socks to clean our ceiling fans and spindles on stairs and chair, etc. I just turn the sock inside out, slip my hand in it and start wiping stuff. Then I throw away that sock when it gets dirty and grab another one.
